Inside A Cambridge Super Deal: How Sam Carter Adds Value & Reduces Risk

Today I’m joined by Sam Carter of SJC Property Developments, who’s showing us that it’s absolutely possible to make property deals work—even in one of the most expensive parts of the country. Sam and his family are building a thriving business in Cambridge, and their latest project is nothing short of remarkable. They secured a property that was originally on the market for £725,000 at a bargain price, applied a smart strategy with multiple exit options, and turned it into a deal that generated hundreds of thousands of pounds. In this episode, Sam and I dive into exactly how they pulled it off, the key decisions that made this project such a success, and what it really takes to grow a profitable property business when many people insist the deals just aren’t out there. So, if you’ve ever thought opportunities only exist in the cheaper parts of the country, this conversation will make you think again.
