Join us on The Onsite Podcast as we chat with Sami Mubarak, Director of MECS Property, about the wild ups and downs of the UK property market! From a brutal 2023 with sky-high interest rates to a rental market gone mental with 19% price hikes, Sami shares his journey from a bedroom startup in 2009 to managing high-end units across the West Midlands. We dive into strategies for weathering market dips, the government’s push for a 50% rental nation, and how AI’s shaking things up. Plus, a cheeky conspiracy or two about who’s really calling the shots! It’s a cracking look at where bricks and mortar are headed—tune in! 00:00:04:18 - Sami on long-term investing: "If you're a long term investor, you need to be able to have the capacity to sit tight and work through it." 00:01:03:08 - How Sami built MECS Property: "I built a business from my bedroom and we've grown to a very nice level." 07:52:09 - Rental prices up 19% in two years: "House rental prices have increased in two years, about 19%... a property that was costing you £1000, now is £1200 pounds a month." 08:53:18 - Government’s plan to grow the rental market: "The government have said they would like to grow it to up to 50%." 09:03:24 - Conspiracy territory: "If you want to control the population, you just take away their stake in the ground." 26:23:19 - AI’s role in Sami’s business: "I use AI every day... it'll write a whole Rightmove post, every single thing done by AI." #UKConstruction #HousebuildingUK #BritishConstruction #UKHousing #BuildUK #PropertyMarket #RentalTrends #AIinProperty
