Our word
We’d rather lose the salethan your trust.
Investment carries risk. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What we can promise is how we behave — and because promises are cheap, every one below is a rule you can check against the pack in front of you.
Our mission
Our mission is to put a small number of exceptional property investments in front of serious investors — across the UK, Dubai and Thailand — each underwritten to a return we would accept with our own money, and to put your outcome ahead of our fee, every time. Character over commission.
Worst case first.
Every opportunity is shown at a poor case, a likely case and a best case — and we don't bring it to you unless the poor case still stands up. We buy on likely. We never sell on best.
Check it: every pack carries all three scenarios on one page.
Underwritten as the boring version.
A serviced-accommodation deal must work as a plain let. A council-placement deal must work without the council. The upside is upside — it is never the thing the deal depends on.
Check it: the fallback case is printed under the headline numbers.
Risk, stated plainly.
Planning risk, title defects, a railway line, spray foam in the roof — it goes in the pack in plain English, on the first page where it belongs, not in a footnote. If we found it, you'll read it.
Check it: a 'risks, stated plainly' section in every pack.
Nothing guaranteed. Ever.
Property carries real risk and we won't pretend otherwise. We do not guarantee returns, occupancy, values or council demand — and we'd ask you to walk away from anyone who does.
Check it: no figure on this site or in any pack is presented as a guarantee.
The same numbers to everyone.
One underwriting, one set of numbers, every buyer. We don't improve a projection to close a sale, and we don't quietly move the purchase price for a better commission.
Check it: our fee is a fixed figure, declared in the pack, payable on exchange.
Our fee is in writing, up front.
A fixed sourcing fee, stated before you see a property, payable only when you exchange. No hidden margin, no kickback from the agent, no markup on the works.
Check it: the fee line is in the heads of terms you sign before anything else.
We qualify you before we sell to you.
A conversation, identity and proof of funds before any particulars. Not to be difficult — because a deal sold to the wrong person is a bad deal, however good the numbers.
Check it: the paper gate precedes every viewing, without exception.
We stay after completion.
Every deal we sell carries the option for us to take it on as tenant or operator once the works are done. We're not going anywhere — our next opportunity depends on how this one performs for you.
Check it: the aftercare provision is written into every sourcing agreement.
We say no.
If it doesn't fit you, we say so on the first call. If the numbers stop working mid-process — survey, legal pack, a renegotiation that goes the wrong way — we tell you to walk, and we walk with you.
Check it: ask us about the deals we've turned down. We'll tell you.
Why this is the business model, not the marketing
We don’t make our money on the sale. We make it on the second deal — and the third. There is no second deal with someone we let down.
A sourcer who sells you something that underperforms has made one fee and lost a client. We operate the properties, we take the aftercare, we answer the phone when it goes wrong — so the only way this works for us is if it works for you.
