About Neil

I’m a property investor and business owner with over 20 years of experience across residential and commercial property in Essex.

I’ve built and managed a multi-property portfolio, operated a lettings business and worked across acquisitions, sales and refinancing through multiple market cycles – including the 2008 financial crash and the post COVID market highs in 2020 – 2025.

That experience shapes how I think about risk & long-term decision making.

How it started

I started my property journey in 2005 while still working full time, building my portfolio alongside employment before transitioning into running my own property business full-time.

That journey – from employee to investor to business owner – is what shapes how I think about risk, decision making and long-term strategy today.

I worked with a mentor from day one who helped to advise, guide & encourage me to take action towards my own goals and targets.

Experience across the property & business landscape

I’ve operated across multiple sides of property and business, giving me a broader perspective than most investors.

• Property Investor & Landlord across residential and commercial assets
• Former Owner of an Estate Agency Business
• Owner of a Lettings Business managing multi-property portfolios
• Business Transfer Agent selling pubs, bars, hotels, care homes and nurseries
• Franchise Partner & Mentor with Platinum Property Partners

Earlier in my career:

• Business Development Officer within local Government
• Worked on Inward Investment & Business Retention projects within the Thames Gateway regeneration area.
