The Property Funder Podcast
The Property Funder Podcast brings you unfiltered conversations with the leaders shaping the UK’s specialist property-finance and real-estate markets.
Hosted by Michael Dean, Co-Founder of Avamore Capital, the show dives deep into how the industry really works—from development finance and specialist lending to deal-making, branding, market cycles, recruitment and the future of the sector. No lightweight theory, no generic “property tips”; just real insights from the people actually doing it.
Each episode features a candid, long-form discussion with founders, lenders, developers, brokers and innovators across the industry. Together, we explore the strategies, decisions and defining moments behind successful businesses, as well as the challenges no one talks about openly.
If you’re a property professional, specialist lender, developer, broker, adviser or simply someone who wants to understand the mechanics of the market through the people who shape it, this channel is for you.
