When Your Payslip Feels Fragile... Build a Plan B That Pays You, Not Your Boss

The Institute of Directors’ Economic Confidence Index just crashed to -72—its worst reading since records began. The TimesMitrade
That’s lower than the pandemic panic, post-Brexit fog and even the mini-budget chaos. Boardrooms are freezing hiring and shelving projects. If company owners are anxious, where does that leave the rest of us?

The Harsh Truth About “Job Security”

Most people are hoping things “go back to normal”: a pay rise here, a government rescue there.
But HOPE DOESN’T PAY THE MORTGAGE.

Why Property Still Wins in 2025

• Rents Keep Climbing – Average advertised rent outside London hit a record £1,365 pcm in Q2. Rightmove

• Prices Are Softening – Summer sellers are discounting as listings hit a decade high.

• Yield Gap Widens – Falling entry prices + rising rents = stronger RETURNS.

Translation: You can buy cheaper and still command premium cash-flow.

Handling the “Big Three” Risks Head-On

1. Principal Loss – Walk comparables, insist on a RICS valuation and add a 10 % refurb contingency.

2. Scams – Run director checks, use segregated client accounts, and make rent flow to your bank first.

3. Liquidity – Refinance to recycle cash; never rely on a quick sale. Properties bought BMV with added value pull cash out on your timetable.
