Lauren and Martin Plummer did pretty much everything with their first deal that the mainstream advice tells you not to do.  

In their defence, they’d built up some experience from renovating their own home a couple of times before they thought seriously about investing, but as far as first deals go this, was a biggie - the conversion of a period property into 5 flats, including a loft conversion which, as we discuss during the interview, may or may not have been worthwhile. 

But despite plenty of lessons learnt along the way, and dare I say a few mistakes, ultimately the project was a success with all 5 flats renting within 12 hours of viewings!  And it certainly didn’t dampen their spirits, as the next project they are purchasing is another conversion, this time of a listed building into 4 flats that they intend to use as holiday lets.
