Property with Purpose
Welcome
Property is not the preserve of the rich and well-connected, or at least it shouldn’t be. I am on a mission to get people into homes that wouldn’t normally be within their reach. Call me crazy, but I believe that everyone, whatever their income, deserves a decent roof over their head. Here’s what I do:
Property mentoring
I have learnt, the hard way, how to be a success in the property world, so join one of my mentoring programmes to benefit from all that hard-earned wisdom. I save you time and money and give you the confidence to make the right decisions, accelerating your progress.
Developing homes for first-time buyers
I’m proud to be making new, affordable homes accessible to first-time buyers. My latest development, Fountain Gates in Croydon was built on reclaimed land and provides homes with Help to Buy.
Housing disadvantaged young adults
Buying and renovating houses, along with my business partner and Step Ahead services, I provide decent and stable homes for disadvantaged young adults often in the care system, helping them find their feet.
Property management
I also offer project management and coaching for your short-term property projects, as well as helping match partners for joint venture partnering.
What drives me
I’m a big believer in doing what I can to help lift others. On a mission to be a positive role model for young people, I’m showing them what can be achieved if you are determined. Starting out I had zero property experience, didn’t come from a wealthy background, or have connections. Yet now I’m an award-winning property entrepreneur with a portfolio of properties and an ambitious development just round the corner from my old school in Croydon – and I couldn’t be prouder.

My nephew as seen in this picture at Martha Brae in Jamaica turned 18 at the weekend.
Hungry for speed as a skater, I wanted to provide some words of wisdom as a gift.
We can all take something from these words (not just those who are in/want to get into property).

COMPLETED!
There is nothing like an auction win completing. Our deal did on Monday. A six week race to the finish line with all guns blazing but we got there. This purchase is particularly sweet because it’s in my home town and is my local post office with two residential units above it. Who knew that […]

Broken
The planning system is broken Croydon is our patch. We build, renovate, refurbish homes in and around the area so believe we know it well; serve and support it well too.

Are Eco Homes Too Ahead Of Their Time?
Sustainability has become the focus of some developers throughout the past years, with many projects being proposed and some even being actually built.
