№ 01 — What we source

Four ways in.
One region.

We source buy-to-let for hands-off portfolios and BRR projects for buyers who want the uplift. Our focus is North East England — and only North East England. We know these streets, their rents and their tenants.

BTL

Buy-to-let

Tenant-ready homes in proven rental areas, generating income from completion day.

Turnkey

Ready to let

Homes that need nothing doing, checked against the comparatives before they come to you.

Off-market

Before the portals

Withdrawn and unsold homes from our agent network, brought to you before they are advertised.

BRR

Refurbishment

Bought at a discount to finished value, with the refurbishment costed and the end value checked against sold comparatives.

№ 02 — Run the numbers

The case for
the North East

The strongest yields in Britain, at entry prices most regions forgot decades ago. Drag the figures below and see for yourself why our patch works — then read what the yield does not tell you.

What the yield hides

A gross yield is the start of the conversation, not the end of it.

It ignores mortgage interest, management, voids, insurance, maintenance and tax. A property at 8% gross can still lose money; a property at 6.5% with a cheap refurbishment and a strong street can outperform it. That is why every deal we send carries the full numbers — price, rent evidence, condition, comparables — and not just a headline percentage.

Our screen is 8% gross, 15% return on cash in, £250 a month net after costs, and ready to let as it stands. A deal that misses one of those is not hidden from you — it is explained.

CLEARS OUR 8% SCREEN

Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price. Illustrative only — every deal we send includes the full numbers, including the costs the yield above ignores.

№ 03 — Why here

Yields you can't find
anywhere else in Britain

Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Gateshead, Middlesbrough — regeneration money and deep tenant demand from students, professionals and families. We live here, we buy here, and we know every street worth knowing.

Evidence

Every number sourced

Sold comparatives within half a mile, at least one rental comparable, and an agent's written rent figure before a property reaches you. If a number cannot be evidenced, we say so.

Condition

Turnkey means turnkey

Our builder views and reports before anything is offered. If it needs work, it is either priced as a BRR project or it does not go out at all.

Access

Hands-off by design

Video viewings, verified numbers and negotiation on the ground. Most of our clients buy from outside the region — and some from outside the UK.

№ 04 — The process

From first email
to keys

Four steps, no theatre. You will always know which one you are on and what happens next.

01

Tell us your brief

Budget, strategy, preferred areas — by email, at whatever length suits you. A short exchange is all we need to start searching.

02

We source and negotiate

Off-market deals from our agent network, fully vetted: numbers checked, condition assessed, price argued down.

03

You get the pack

Price, rent evidence, comparables, condition report and the full cost breakdown — enough to decide without a phone call.

04

You complete, hands-off

We guide the purchase through to completion and introduce the letting agent, broker and trades so it earns from day one.
