Tayo Oguntonade is an award-winning TV presenter, qualified mortgage advisor, property expert, investor, and co-host of the Bread and Butter podcast. He is widely recognised for his ability to break down complex property and finance topics into clear, practical advice for everyday people.
Tayo rose to national prominence in 2020 as the presenter of Channel 4’s The Great House Giveaway, a groundbreaking property series that allows strangers to buy, renovate, and sell a house at auction—without using their own money. The show quickly became a critical and audience hit, winning Best Daytime Programme at the BAFTA Awards, Royal Television Society Awards, and Broadcast Awards. Tayo’s performance on the show earned him a nomination for Best Debut Presenter at the Edinburgh Television Festival’s New Voice Awards, marking him as one of the UK’s brightest new presenters.
Building on this success, Tayo has become a regular face on TV, with appearances on Steph’s Packed Lunch, Morning Live, Rip Off Britain, Watchdog, and other national programmes where he shares expert insight on mortgages, housing, and consumer finance. In 2023, he joined the presenting team of Channel 4’s Key to a Fortune—a transformational series that reunites people with family properties and relatives they never knew existed. Tayo provides expert guidance to families on how best to unlock the value of their inherited homes.
He has also made a strong impact in digital media. Tayo co-hosted Channel 4’s On The Money, a highly successful online series tackling financial challenges in the midst of the UK’s cost-of-living crisis. The show outperformed expectations, tripling Channel 4’s usual viewership benchmark and becoming one of its most-watched digital series across YouTube and Instagram. Tayo also led Make Your Move, a social-first educational series sponsored by Skipton Building Society, in which he helped first-time buyers overcome financial fears to move forward with confidence. The show was viewed over 3 million times and received a Broadcast Digital Award nomination for its innovative approach to financial content.
Tayo is also the co-founder of BrickzWithTipz, a property education platform he runs with his wife, Antoinette. What began as a social media blog has grown into a trusted online brand, reaching over 100,000 followers and offering practical guidance to first-time buyers, aspiring investors, and anyone looking to get on the property ladder. The couple also launched The Homebuyers Club, a membership-based community that offers tailored support and expert-led coaching for those navigating the buying process.
Tayo was recently recognised by The Sunday Times in their esteemed Alternative Rich List—an accolade celebrating individuals who are reshaping the definition of success in Britain today. This year’s honourees were described as:
“The innovators driving Britain’s wellbeing revolution and helping us lead a healthier, more balanced life.”
This recognition is yet another powerful testament to the influential spaces Tayo continues to occupy and the meaningful values he embodies.
Despite his media success, Tayo continues to advise clients directly as a fully qualified mortgage broker and remains committed to his mission: making the property world more transparent, accessible, and inclusive. His professional experience, personal story of buying his first property at 22, and authentic communication style have earned him credibility across both the financial and broadcast industries.
Through television, online platforms, and educational initiatives, Tayo Oguntonade continues to inspire, inform, and empower audiences to take control of their financial futures.
