How Much Time & Money can YOU Really Save on Your Projects as an LNPG Member? – Anthony Bailey-Grice
Refurbishments are where many property deals are won or lost, but for many landlords they remain unpredictable, time-consuming, and notoriously difficult to control. With costs continuing to rise, small mistakes are becoming increasingly expensive.
At our next event, we’re tackling this head-on.
LNPG, the UK’s largest buying network for landlords, will be sharing how their members are approaching refurb projects differently, using collective buying power to access contract-level pricing from major national suppliers, alongside a more structured approach to specification and delivery.
What makes this session stand out is what’s being revealed.
The pricing LNPG members achieve is not publicly available and is rarely discussed outside of their network. At this event, it will be shared openly, alongside practical insight into where most landlords overspend without realising.
These are the kinds of numbers and decisions that can materially change how your next project performs.
If you’re serious about improving margins and reducing risk, this is not a session to miss.
ALSO...Ordinary Houses, Extraordinary Income - Andy Potter
Andy Potter spent fifteen years running marketing for Marks & Spencer, Selfridges and Bicester Village. In late 2025 he sold up in London, moved back in with his parents in Solihull and started buying houses 180 miles away in the North East.
Just over a year later it looks like this:
- 6 houses bought for £643,825
- £233,750 of equity created
- £117,371 a year of projected net passive income, pre tax
- £52,000 profit on a flip
- £580,000 of private finance raised to do it
Nothing in the portfolio is exotic. Transitional housing with a registered provider, a serviced accommodation unit in Durham, a couple of BRRR refinances and one flip. Ordinary houses, bought well, refurbished properly and put to work.
During Andy's talk you will hear:
1. From Selfridges to Sunderland via Solihull. Quite the career move.
2. How he raised £580k without robbing a bank.
3. Transitional housing in the North East. Why it’s THE sweet spot.
By the end of the evening you will have gained some further insight into a sector you might not know much about, and fallen in love with the North East property market, if you weren't already!
