Great videos Dan. Really interesting and I’m not even going to buy and rent out properties, just watching for entertainment. Can I ask where part 3 of this series is, I can’t find it!!!
Excellent video As always Dan, very informative and helpful. I agree with the shed and I generally remove anything that could cause future maintenance issues including burglar alarms and telephone/aerial extensions! Another decorating tip I picked up from a pro was to submerge any brush used for oil based based paint in water! When you need to use days/weeks later, just brush onto newspaper to remove excess water and the oil based paint on the brush is good as before…! Quick question, do you replace the locks when you purchase a new property or have spares to rotate if needed?
Hey James, Great to hear from you, I hope all is well. That’s a great tip thanks very much. I do change all the locks, I just have a tub full of barrels and I swap them over every time I acquire a new property or have a tenant turnover. Thanks for watching and for dropping a comment.
Great content Dan, great information about those trickle fans. Im a new landlord and have just 2 propertys one of them has issues with mold. So hopefully those fans could really help. 😊
Hi Tyron, Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment. I hope the fans help you, it took me way to long to realise I need them in all my properties.
Hi Chris, Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment. I’ll start working on part three as soon as all costs have come in. It’ll be an interesting one as interest rates continue to rise. Thanks for watching me and for dropping a comment
Hey Dan. Love all your videos and find them really useful. Was just wondering about your smoke alarms. Do you have to have fixed wired smoke alarms in your BTL properties. I see yours are standard battery smokes. Is that allowed or is there any rules around this. Thanks
Hi Peter, Thanks very much for watching and for dropping a comment. In a standard BTL you’ll need a smoke alarm on each floor and they can be battery operated. I hope this helps
Hi Si, Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment. I simply estimate the costs from knowledge of works carried out previously. Sorry I can’t be more specific.
Yep, take the sheds away. My parents rental houses over the years we've had to remove the sheds as the tenants never told them about the leaks in them and they rotted away. Hard standings are left so the tenants can put their own up.
can you do a video on your numbers for the whole portfolio now and the net income, I think that would be great for viewers to aspire to, congrats on property no 20! Love your videos
Hi Scott, Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment. A single let property does t require a fire alarm. You will need a smoke alarm on each floor and at the moment they can be battery operated. I hope this helps

@@seanmallard3118 it’s worth just remembering that’s your insurance won’t cover a break in if they gain access with a key from the safe. It’s worth putting it out of sight.
Great renovation job, Dan. Two points that confuse me a bit though. You're obviuosly a very good general builder yourself and have trusted contractors on hand, so why didn't you box the ugly pipes in that are running down through the ceiling in the corner of the living room? That's a quick, cheap and easy job that would have left the living room looking 1,000,000 times better. Second point, is (of course) the shed. Low maintenance and very, very, very useful for the tenants. I agree that it's not a big "game changer" in terms of letting the property or the rental income, but it's just so useful for the tenants and in reality not a lot of trouble to keep standing for a savvy tradesman of your fine calibre. I really don't undertand why you want to remove sheds when they're in such good condition?
Hi Francis, It’s interesting you mention this, I had to go back and check what pipes your were talking about as I but a cover over the ones in the lounge near the window. You’re right it’s missing, I didn’t spot this when filming, I’ll have to have a chat with my carpet guy and plumber to see who’s moved it, thanks. A shed will have me return to the property at some stage, no shed won’t, it’s as simple as that, I don’t have the time to maintain sheds that’s are not required to let a property. Thanks very much for watching and for dropping a comment.

Took your advice regarding the extractor fan from one of your other renovating videos. Great stuff
These renovating video's are worth their weight in gold for new landlords
Hey Wicked Witch of the West, I really hope that your fan does the job.
PS, I will be signing up for your training program in a couple months time 🤞
Great, I’ll very much look forward to welcoming you on the program.

Any spare flooring in the loft this time😂
