Max Scott, an award-winning property investor behind over £100 million in deals, shares why he now specialises in FRI leases. We break down how they work in today’s market, from the impact of the Renters’ Rights Act to how lenders assess them and what strong exit strategies look like. Then we tackle the bigger question: is property the best asset class to invest in? Max outlines the five components that set it apart from stocks, bonds and commodities and how investors can maximise each one.
