Welcome to Property on Fire, on this episode.....

You'll meet Kellyann Martin, who used to be a teacher, and replaced her income and created a much better lifestyle for herself by investing in property. She offers her investors the chance to build their wealth whilst investing responsibly and creating good for people. She is passionate about providing homes for families in Leeds, and works closely with Leeds Council to help with their housing crisis.

This week, you'll also hear an update on the Leading Homes development sites. Their Office-to-23 flats conversion site is getting there! All the scaffolding has gone and they're in the final phases of building control, so not far from getting people moved in to their brand new homes.

Referred to as a ‘Walking Encyclopaedia’ by a mentor he developed a passion for planning in 2015 having got fed up with inaccurate information on some websites as to what was possible with property or land that he was looking to develop.
