With over 20 years of experience and in the current market conditions, we are being offered more opportunities to invest in property than we can do by ourselves.
While we typically use a combination of our own funds and bank lending, we’re now opening the door to share selected opportunities with friends and family.
Jimmy and Mo met while Mo was studying engineering at Birmingham University. Budding entrepreneurs, they quickly spotted the potential of the city’s huge student market and began running club nights, which soon outgrew the student guild and moved into larger venues across Birmingham. In 1998, they launched a record and ticket shop that became a local landmark. Frustrated by the inefficiencies of distributing tickets and cash, they created one of the UK’s earliest e-ticketing systems - a solution that allowed them to sell tickets for any event, anywhere in the country.
Over the years, profits from their ventures were carefully reinvested into assets, beginning with their first student HMO in 2006. This steady, long-term approach laid the foundations of their property journey. Their company, The TicketSellers, grew to employ 32 people in the Jewellery Quarter before pivoting to a fully remote model during Covid. With experienced senior leaders taking over daily operations, Jimmy and Mo were able to refocus their time on property. Since then, they have invested heavily in education and networking, completing advanced property training such as Simon Zutshi’s year-long Property Mastermind, while also becoming actively involved in the Birmingham property community. Mo now helps run the monthly Birmingham pin networking event, staying connected to the latest market strategies and building relationships with trusted professionals.
In April 2024, they achieved a major milestone: the successful sale of TicketSellers to an Edinburgh-based company for a seven-figure sum. Much of this has since been reinvested into property, strengthening their position in the market and enabling them to pursue more ambitious projects. Today, their focus is firmly back on Birmingham, with a significant development progressing to convert a large house into a dedicated block of student flats.
Their combined experience - from managing a multimillion-pound turnover business to structuring and delivering property projects - means they are well placed to continue building long-term, sustainable value. As Mo puts it: “I’ve spent years managing the finances of a complex, fast-growing business, and those skills transfer directly into property, where disciplined financial management and clear planning are everything. While we’ve worked with many lenders in the past, we believe it’s far more rewarding if the benefits of our projects are shared with friends, family, and trusted contacts. If you’d like to learn more about what we’re doing, or simply have a conversation about our journey, we would be delighted to hear from you."
Over the past 20 years, we’ve bought, renovated, and managed more than 40 properties across the UK. Our current portfolio achieves over £11k net income per month with over £1.1m in equity as shown below.
We have always followed the investment fundamentals of strong capital growth and consistent cash flow with minimal voids. The current level of net income from our portfolio gives us a comfortable monthly buffer.
Equity comes from buying below market value and selecting properties that increase in value over time. This table shows the current equity in our portfolio, which is 100% available to act as security for bigger loans.
Our property projects are funded through a combination of our own capital and traditional lending, but we’d like to share profits with people we know and trust.
These are just 2 opportunities currently live, please get in touch if you'd like to know more.
The sellers of this dated flat have had 3 sales fall through due to the short lease and are now willing to accept a low cash price for the speed and certainty of the sale. We buy cash and add value in 2 ways: extending the lease and modernising. Once completed, a mortgage can be secured on the property at the higher value, allowing us to take almost all the investment money out.

Students expect top quality accommodation, and this property is tired. The owner doesn't want to invest and has struggled to sell. The opportunity is to convert this terraced house into 6 studio flats without buying the property, hence saving stamp duty and mortgage costs, which would make a traditional flip very expensive. When the modernised property sells, we benefit from the uplift in value.

This 4-storey townhouse sits on a busy high street in Brighton, moments from the famous 'Lanes'. Purchased as a Serviced Accommodation (Airbnb) investment with a commercial unit at the front, it has been transformed into a thriving business, generating well over £140k per year. With even more opportunity to increase occupancy and drive down monthly running costs, this shrewd investment could turn out to be our biggest success story.
As explained in the Studio Conversion Opportunity, luxury student living is essential to guarantee full occupancy and maximum revenue. We have owned Hope Place since 2011 and didn't hold back on this conversion, creating a property akin to a 5-star hotel. While the ROI on the refurbishment budget is a fairly meagre 12.3%, the property generates over £2,200 profit per month and has been future proofed against voids.
Different projects require different skill sets, so having long term relationships with a knowledgable power team is crucial.

Jimmy & Mo make investing feel personal, and I've enjoyed seeing the results of the projects I've invested in come to life.

We've been friends for many years, so trust is no issue, but when investing, the relationship is professional, and they want me to understand the numbers and talk through any risks.

I've had funds invested for several years, recycling over different projects. Receiving my interest as an annual lump sum is a great treat.

I loved how flexible the options were - when things got tight for me, I was able to access my funds with very little notice.
Curious about our process, partnership, or how we invest?
We’ve gathered the most common questions to help you feel confident and inspired.
We have a great credit rating and relationships with lots of lenders who rightly expect security, which we can offer. Given the low risk, we'd like to pay interest to our friends and family as well as the banks.
Each project / investor is different so our returns range from 8% to 12% (or even more for bigger projects), depending on level of security and length of loan period.
Our minimum investment amount is £10,000, but some projects require much more than that.
Each project will be different, but we will always agree on a time by which your funds can be returned. Usually 6 to 12 months.
Smaller investments are covered by personal guarantees. Larger investments can be secured against our exisitng portfolio or against assets within the project itself.
Every project undergoes extensive scrutiny to reduce risks. Buying below market value, having multiple exit options and using trusted partners increase success. Investments are covered by personal guarantees or security against our existing portfolio.
Our investors do get used to receiving a healthy return, so if we have further Opportunities at the end of your term, you're welcome to leave funds with us longer.
