The first deal I sourced where my client pulled every pound back out, I knew this was the work.
Eleven years ago I helped a new client through her first BRRR. A three-bed end terrace in Stockport. We bought at £132,000 with bridging covering 80% of purchase. Her cash covered the deposit, the refurb, the legals and the holding costs. Twenty-three weeks later the post-refurb valuation came back at £232,000. She refinanced at 75% LTV, paid off the bridge, and pulled out every pound of cash she'd deployed. Infinite return on investment. She texted me at 11pm: "Let's go again." I haven't looked back since.
Over the next four years I built the process that produces that result repeatably. Stress-tested numbers with contingency built in, not best-case spreadsheets. Three independent GDVs from agents who know the area. Refurb quoted by trades I've worked with for over a decade. Every property physically inspected. Every legal pack reviewed line by line.
Today I source for UK professionals across the North West and Greater Manchester. The standard holds because every deal still passes through my hands, end to end. That hasn't changed in eleven years and it isn't going to.
