Perfect tax avoidance and perfectly legal! Nice one!

[frankwood]

Nice to see James Corden has a sideline.

[paulbond]

I had to switch it off, the guy was absolutely doing my head in interrupting the couple.

[fiestygemini]

If your going to ask a question please let the people respond and not interrupt!

[badral-hussain]

The seller agreed to sell to the person whom he made the agreement with, and said no to others who we’re offering more. Respect.! Man of his word. Did the same thing myself, although didn’t make any profit but broke even. I know the feeling to be gazumped at the last min.!! 😡. It’s bloody annoying.!

[jasbindersingh]

Modern UK I'm afraid...a land full of get rich quick gobby property spivs....
Hope interest rates don't go up too much, would be awful for property speculation

[ukandrew]

If moving abroad with the idea of property developing abroad you do need to know the country tax system and the restrictions levied on foreigners. Know of developer who had a similar idea. Bought abroad, flipped a few times then decided he wanted to sell up and return to the UK. This is where he found the country he was in would not allow him to remove more than 50% of the properties value. Some countries do this and more to control the amount of currency leaving the country. Also different regions in a foreign country often have different rules. Good research is key

Samuel Leeds needs to buy my training course to look lean

[hannesRSA]

It's so odd that buyers with better networking can pay under market... A bit annoying honestly, since I can't imagine why anyone would not simply sell on market for long enough to get the best price.

[kieranloney]

So the house was 165k and the refurb was 125k so 290k into buying and doing up leaving a total profit of 125k thats before the profit is split with the investor so how much did they make in total depending on the contract with the investor? Point is the title is miss leading don't get me wrong I still think they will be walking away with a profit of around 30-50k

[MrCraigShepheard]

If the house was empty for more than 2 years you only need to pay 5% VAT on the refurb costs which helps your cash flow massively

[maxthelab]

mention of the value added simply due to market uplift. Could have kept a wreck, done nothing to it, then flogged it on 1 year later and probably made a tidy profit. That's all market dependant of course but that £100K must have an element of market uplift to it - HPI has been very healthy over the last decade. We bought a bungalow for my Mum Feb 21 for £520K and they are now selling for £640K - not bad for no real effort.

[DPritchard]

Sam needs to learn to shhh when people are speaking. Let them speak before you ask another question 🤦‍♂️

[wzz]

The taxman will be very interested in this. Abundantly clear their intention was to develop for profit, and they clearly state they've been doing similar 'projects' around the area and afar. The guy also says 'it's our job' doing this.

[reidtv]

Cracking job, only part that was missed was you never mentioned where the £125k for refurb came from?

[bobbyshermanski]

£125k total costs including investors return is phenomenal. What would have been really interesting would be a proper breakdown showing, costs of goods, services, investors return etc. I presume this couple did all the heavy lifting themselves IE building work, interiors etc???

[UpsideDownFork]

Having grown up with Darren, his success doesn't surprise me one bit.
He always had a determination that most others lack.
Nice one mate 👍

[conradsmith]

Didn't explain how you pay no Stamp Duty and unless you live in the house for 2 years you will have to pay CGT unless that has changed in the past 5 years

[OwenSithole]

Watching from South Africa, amazing video! I am so inspired to do this in my local town! Sam, please search for Cape Town properties as the Pound currency is double our currency which would offer great opportunities to make money with beautiful homes contrary to any fears one would have relating to us. All the best!

the guy thats company owns 0 properties on its books, its been on TV
