Property has featured heavily at this week’s Labour conference in Liverpool.

Some of the main announcements include:

• Plans to make it easier for councils to compulsorily purchase the worst-quality rental homes where landlords refuse to make improvements after warnings.

• A new “Your First Home” scheme in England, expected to support 2.5% deposits on eligible new builds, alongside a 20% government-backed equity loan.

• Stronger council powers to bring empty homes back into use.

• Further leasehold reform, including proposed caps on certain permission and administration fees.

• Plans for independent regulation, licensing and qualifications for property agents.

These announcements are at different stages.

Further details, consultations and legislation will determine how they work in practice.

More information on the first-time buyer scheme is due at next month’s Budget.

For landlords and investors, the practical focus remains on good-quality homes, ongoing maintenance, understanding responsibilities and factoring the full costs into an investment.

We’ll be following the detail as it develops, particularly what it means for the Leeds property market.

I’ve spoken to plenty of people who are thinking about getting into property.

Some have taken the first step. Most are still waiting.

It’s not about intelligence, luck or having everything perfectly lined up.

The difference is action.

The people making progress took one small step, followed by another. They didn’t wait until they felt completely ready or had every answer.

You’ll never have complete certainty before you start.

The free Property Secrets Masterclass helped reinforce that for me and gave me a clear place to begin.

Property should be an asset.

Not another business for you to run.

Most business owners I speak to don’t lack ambition or capital.

They lack the time to search for properties, analyse areas, arrange viewings, manage refurbishments and deal with agents.

That’s understandable.

The investor should remain in control of the important decisions.

But they shouldn’t have to manage every part of the process themselves.

That’s the difference between owning an investment and creating another job.

Yield can be misleading.

A high yield doesn't automatically make a good investment.

At Wynter Group, we look beyond the numbers.

Crime, schools, income, owner occupiers and long-term demand all matter.
Because we'd rather buy a great area with a solid yield than a poor area with an exceptional one.

💡 Did you know?
One of the first things we assess isn't the property...

It's the crime data.

The areas we invest in typically have average or below-average crime.

Lower crime often means stronger tenant demand, better neighbourhood stability and fewer management headaches.

The numbers matter.

Good schools don't just benefit families... they benefit investors too.

People will often pay more to live near a good school.

That creates stronger demand from both buyers and tenants.

It's one of the reasons school quality is always part of our area analysis.

Most investors look at yield.

We look at what drives long-term demand and growth.

I work in property.

But I still wouldn’t tell everyone they should invest in it.

Property requires capital.

There are costs and risks.

Your money isn’t always quickly accessible.

And even with support, it still requires decisions.

For the right person, it can be a strong way to build long-term assets.

But the important part is deciding whether it fits your circumstances and goals.

That’s exactly why we created our Should You Invest in Property? guide.

No hard sell. Just some sensible points to consider.
