UK property services for investors

We provide property services for investors who want to put money into the UK market without the day-to-day work. We find and appraise the property and manage the refurbishment, and we introduce you to a partner letting agent who lets and manages it, all on real numbers rather than optimistic ones. We work with investors who have at least £500,000 to invest.

We have been doing this since 2015. In that time we have viewed and appraised thousands of properties and put thousands of hours into the analysis behind them, most of which ends in a no. That filtering is the point of the service: you see the deals that stand up, not the ones that only look good in a listing.

What we look for in a deal

Not every property is worth buying, and the work is in saying no to the ones that are not. Before a deal reaches you, we test it against the things that actually drive a buy-to-let result.

• Growth and income together. We target Scottish property that pairs capital growth with a strong annual rental yield, typically around 5% to 12% gross depending on the deal. These are targets we screen for, not guarantees.
• Real rental demand. A property is only as good as the tenants who want it. We buy where demand is genuine and lettings are quick.
• Sensible entry price. The return is largely made on the way in. We look for prices that leave room, not deals that only work if everything goes perfectly.
• Room to add value. Many of our best results come from refurbishment that lifts both rent and resale value by more than the work costs.
• An area we know. We work where we understand the streets, not just the postcode: good transport links, schools and amenities, and, where we can find it, planned local investment. That is what keeps a property let and supports its value.
• A clear exit. We think about how a property sells or refinances before we buy it, not after.

Property search and acquisition

• Tailored market research. In-depth analysis of UK property markets to identify opportunities aligned with your goals and your appetite for risk.
• Access to deals. Through our network, we surface off-market properties and listings that fit your strategy.
• Bespoke search. We work from your budget, preferred property types and target regions to build a shortlist that stacks up on the numbers.
• End-to-end acquisition. From viewings and negotiation to exchange of contracts, we handle the process to secure the property.

Due diligence and legal coordination

• Property checks. Title verification, planning and building considerations, and condition assessment to protect your investment.
• Specialist coordination. We work alongside qualified solicitors, accountants and the relevant public authorities on contracts, conveyancing, tax and registration. We coordinate the experts; we do not provide regulated legal or tax advice ourselves.

Refurbishment and value-add

• Scoped and budgeted. We define the works, the budget and the timeline up front, so there are no surprises halfway through.
• Managed end to end. We run the project through trusted contractors, controlling cost and quality from first quote to final sign-off.
• Built to let well. The standard is set by what attracts good tenants and holds value, not by cutting corners.

Letting and management, through a partner letting agent

Letting and management are carried out by our partner letting agents, under the agent's own terms with you. In Scotland every one of them is on the Scottish Letting Agent Register. We introduce you to the agent and stay on as your point of contact.

• Tenant sourcing and screening. Done by the agent, with referencing before a tenancy is offered.
• Day-to-day management. Rent collection, tenancy paperwork, repairs and tenant queries, all handled for you by the agent.
• Maintenance. Inspections and repairs, arranged by the agent.
• Compliance. Keeping the tenancy within the rules for the country the property is in is part of the agent's job.
• Void minimisation. Early reletting and sensible pricing by the agent, to keep the property earning.

Financial tracking and portfolio support

• Yield analysis. Clear calculations and forecasts on the real, net return of each property.
• Cash flow tracking. Keeping income, costs and finance payments organised and visible.
• Portfolio planning. Practical thinking on diversifying, expanding or restructuring your holdings as you grow.
• Exit support. When it is time to sell, market analysis and sales support to achieve a strong result.

Added-value services

• Relocation support for international investors with UK property.
• Set-up help with utilities, connections and local logistics.
• Staging before a property goes to a letting agent or a selling agent.
• A network of solicitors, architects, designers and contractors to draw on.
• Ongoing updates on the UK market and how it affects your property.

How we work with you

Common questions

How are sourcing, refurbishment and letting charged?

Separately. We charge for sourcing and for managing a refurbishment, and we set this out in writing before you commit. Letting and management are charged by the partner letting agent under its own terms, which you see before you sign. There are no hidden fees in what we charge.

Can you help with a property I already own?

Yes. You do not have to use our sourcing first. If it needs work we can run the refurbishment, and for the letting we introduce you to one of our partner letting agents. Tell us about the property and we will explain how it would work.

Do you provide legal or tax advice?

No. We coordinate qualified solicitors and tax specialists around your deal, but we do not provide regulated legal or tax advice ourselves.
