About us...

We began our property journey in 2004 as a husband and wife team – we are still that same team today. In those years, and as the world of property changed, we adapted our model . We started out renovating properties and quickly moved into becoming private landlords.

We have always worked on the principle that we would only ever rent a home we'd be happy to live in ourselves. To that end, we have never cut corners to squeeze an extra few pounds of rental income.

This philosophy has served us well over the years, and we have seen our tenant's children grow from being newborn babies to going through primary school. In addition, several of our tenants stayed with us for many years and only moved due to increasing families and finally outgrowing the property.

That's not to say we haven't had our fair share of problem tenants. A few years back, one of our tenants caused so much damage to our property that it really 'finished' us. After we ripped up the remaining floors they hadn't destroyed, reconnected the mains water and renewed most of the plumbing and everything else, spending thousands in the process, we decided it was time to change.

So we rolled up our sleeves again and changed our model to managing corporate lets and short-term accommodation. Of course, like any business, this still has its issues, but it's a much less painful process for us with all the systems we have in place – not to mention the support network we have developed over the last 17 years.

We've always worked hard to develop strong relationships with our clients and service providers. We have worked with most of our service providers for years, and we all work extremely well together.

We still have tenants in some of our properties, but they have been with us for many years. So when they are ready to move on, we will apply our new model to those properties. Until then, they are welcome to stay.
