The Project That Nearly Broke Us (And What You Can Learn From It)

Mike Stenhouse: Property Investor Episode 425

They say property investing is about managing risk, but nothing prepared me for this project.

What should’ve been a straightforward commercial-to-residential conversion turned into an 36-month nightmare - a planning battle that dragged on forever, a builder who cost us £30k before vanishing, and a full team meltdown when everyone (myself included) suddenly disappeared from the business.

But here’s the thing: the deal still stacks up.

In this episode, I’m breaking down everything that went wrong, the brutal lessons learned, and why - despite all the chaos - it still turned out to be a solid investment.

If you’ve ever battled a “cursed” project, this one’s for you.
