What I specialise in

Comprehensive expertise across the full property lifecycle — from acquisition through to exit.

Multi-unit blocks

Freehold or long leasehold blocks across the North West. Ideally vacant or part-occupied — though tenanted blocks considered where the numbers stack up. If it works, I can move quickly and discreetly.

Property Portfolios

Tired of managing a portfolio? Looking for a clean exit? I work with investors who can acquire multiple properties in a single transaction — no chain, no fuss.

Land

Land with planning potential, within development boundaries, or suitable for specialist housing. I work with developers and housing associations who move on the right sites.

Straight advice, honest figures.

Born and raised locally and now based in Ramsbottom, I have lived and breathed property for two decades. My journey began in the mid-2000s, building a residential portfolio from the ground up before securing my first mixed-use investment in 2007.

When the financial crisis hit, I pivoted into property sales, specialising first in distressed assets and then broader agency work. I climbed the ranks from sales consultant to managing teams across the North of England, eventually taking a struggling national agency branch and transforming it into a highly profitable operation.

The traditional corporate model lacked excitement. Seeing the potential in the early days of online agencies, I struck out on my own. Over the past few years, my focus has shifted sharply to commercial, investment, and development properties, with a special passion for multi-unit blocks across Greater Manchester.

Right now, the landscape is shifting. With surging demand for office, logistics, and distribution spaces, a national drive to rebuild the industrial sector, and a chronic shortage of new housing, there has never been a more thrilling time to be in commercial property.

Today, I work directly with owners and investors to make things happen. I am always open to discussing off-market opportunities that fit your strategy. I believe in giving straightforward, honest valuations, building lasting relationships, and leveraging my strong network of well-funded buyers across the region.
