For this month's DDD episode of The Blueprint Podcast, we're joined by Tom Woodcock, a successful entrepreneur based in the North East.

Tom's main business is in retail, and he joined Property Entrepreneur in 2023 to learn the Blueprints that could help him scale both his retail business and his property business.

In this episode, Tom shares how he bought his commercial unit and the adjoining property using his SASS pension — plus all the learnings from doing a deal like this and the key benefits of investing via an SASS pension as well as how he is now using his SASS to invest in property.

This wasn't an overnight success story either, this deal was 10 years in the making!

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What an SASS pension is and how it works for property

• Why commercial property can be a strong fit for pension investing

• The biggest lessons learned from structuring the purchase correctly

• The benefits of pension-led investing (control, long-term thinking, tax efficiency)

• Why this deal took 10 years and how Tom made it happen

The Deal Numbers:

• Purchase price (incl. Stamp Duty & fees): £307,748

• Total net spend (incl. refurbishment): £286,180

• Cash recovered back into the SASS: £46,568

• Income & Valuation

• Annual income: £39,000

• Yield valuation at 10%: £390,000

Outcome

• Equity gain: £103,820

• Corporation tax savings: £13,566

• Gross return: 13.6%

Success and failure are both very predictable.

I hope you enjoy.

January Gym Club is over. The novelty has worn off, the new kit is back in the wardrobe, and most people have already drifted back to old habits.

This episode is about what actually matters next. If you want 2026 to be your best year on record, in life and in business, then this is the moment to stop playing small and start living intentionally.

In this podcast, I break down three tangible steps that cut through motivation, hype, and short-term bursts of effort.

These are practical frameworks designed to help you:

• get off the treadmill and away from the monotonous life that most people experience

• think bigger than your current environment has ever allowed you

• get what you actually deserve by getting out of your own way

This isn't about resolutions. It's about mindset, the voice in your head and decisions.

Success and Failure are both very Predictable.

We hope you enjoy....!

Drawing on decades of experience, Daniel Hill explains how recognising the right opportunities at the best moment stems from in-depth market knowledge, guidance from seasoned experts and a clear grasp of changing cycles.

With 20+ years of experience in buying, developing, and managing properties across the UK, he has built a reputation for making strategic investments that stand the test of time.

In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, we break down one of the most important calibrations in high performance: your self-worth.

Most people sit at one extreme or the other, and very few are genuinely balanced. I'll walk you through the spectrum, show you the clear traits of undervaluing and overvaluing yourself, and help you identify exactly where you sit today.

We'll look at how low self-worth can make you overly selfless, how high self-worth can push you into entitlement, and why neither end is sustainable. I'll share examples from my own journey, the pros and cons on both sides, and the practical steps you can take to move toward a healthier, more powerful centre point.

If you want to understand yourself better, get clearer on your behaviours, and build a stronger, more aligned version of yourself, this will give you the clarity and tools to do it.

Success and failure are both very predictable.

I hope you enjoy.

This is our annual, highest downloaded property market predictions episode — and it's one our clients wait for every year.

In 2025, our model was virtually 100% spot on. More importantly, for the last six years we've been sharing this framework privately, behind the scenes with our clients, to help them position early and act ahead of the market.

For 2026, we're opening it up and sharing the full model with you — completely free of charge.

We start by reviewing the 2025 model: forecast vs actual, breaking down what played out exactly as expected and what that tells us about the current phase of the cycle. We then zoom out to the wider economy, including the growing wealth gap and why it matters more than most people realise.

From there, we walk through the Master The Market 2026 model, covering exactly what we believe will happen next across:

• Inflation

• Interest rates

• Mortgage rates

• Property prices

• Rents

• GDP

This episode is not about headlines or hype. It's about understanding where we are in the cycle, where the pressure points are building, and how 2026 is likely to reward those who position early — and punish those who wait.

If you want clarity, conviction, and a strategic view of the year ahead, this is one episode you should not miss.

Following this episode, Daniel is running a live, one-off webinar where he'll break down the Top 3 Deal Strategies for 2026. The session is completely free, and full access details will be shared closer to the time. Register here:
