Property investments
for busy working
professionals.

Off-market property opportunities with a fully connected power team — from acquisition to tenant-ready completion.

What We Do

We underwrite real estate investments by sourcing direct-to-vendor deals not found on Rightmove.

Every property comes off-market. A power team of vetted professionals takes your project from rundown to tenant-ready — so you don't have to do anything.

How We Underwrite

Every deal is measured against a 13% IRR floor.

01

Yield & IRR modelling

Nottingham's overall gross yields sit at an impressive 6–8%, while local HMO conversions deliver 9–13% depending on room count and finish. Every deal is strictly modelled to a 10-year IRR above 13% by factoring in below-market-value purchases, refurbishment uplifts, and projected rental growth.

02

School catchment quality

School quality serves as the single strongest predictor of long-term capital appreciation and tenant stability in family BTL investments, which is why we strictly target properties within Ofsted-rated "Good" or "Outstanding" catchments. Our focus centres on targeting postcodes for their excellent primary and secondary options.

03

Crime rates & neighbourhood safety

Because professional tenants like medical staff and teachers are acutely sensitive to neighbourhood safety, every target postcode is cross-referenced against Nottinghamshire Police data to strictly exclude streets with above-average ASB or violent crime. Prioritising lower-crime areas prevents the severe tenant churn and extended vacancy periods that ultimately destroy real-world yields.

04

Transport & commute access

Every property deal assessment heavily weights proximity to a mainline station or the NET tram network — which serves 8.5 million passengers annually — ensuring locations sit within a 15-minute public transport commute of QMC, City Hospital, or Nottingham city centre. Properties within walking distance of these vital tram stops command a measurable rental premium.

05

Infrastructure & regeneration

By actively tracking planning applications, Section 106 agreements, and confirmed infrastructure spending across Nottingham's £4 billion city-centre development programme, we identify high-appreciation corridors before they are priced into the market. Key projects: Broad Marsh regeneration, the £1.5 billion Island Quarter, and proposed HS2 Eastern Leg connectivity links.

06

Tenant demand depth

Nottingham possesses an exceptionally deep pool of AI-resistant tenants with stable incomes, including over 17,000 QMC employees, roughly 6,000 City Hospital staff, and 9,500 local teachers. Professional medical tenants in Nottingham boast an average tenancy length of 2.8 years — compared to just 1.4 years for the general market.

The Process

Your investment.
Five phases.
One disciplined process.

From the discovery call to keys in hand. Each phase has its own pace — and we never rush a deal to hit an arbitrary deadline.

01
Week 0 — 2

Discovery & Brief

A focused conversation about your capital position, time horizon, and strategy fit. If both sides want to proceed, you receive a written brief for sign-off — specifying exactly what we're sourcing for, so there's no ambiguity later.

02
Week 2 — 3

Capital Verification

Proof of funds for cash buyers, agreement in principle for mortgaged buyers. £500 engagement fee paid — refundable against your first sourcing fee. Active sourcing begins.

03
Week 3 — 12

Active Sourcing

Off-market introductions, vendor leads, agent relationships, direct mail. Deal packs every 2–6 weeks as properties matching your brief come up. You decide yes, pass, or tell-me-more on each one. No deal pack ever comes with pressure to commit. 50% of our sourcing fee is due when the deal pack is sent to you.

04
Week 12 — 22

Offer to Completion

Once you accept a deal, we negotiate with the vendor. Operators introduced — mortgage broker, solicitor, surveyor. From here, you and your operators run the completion. The remaining 50% of our sourcing fee is due on completion.

05
Ongoing

6m & 12m Check-Ins

Project and property managers introduced. Six-month and twelve-month check-ins to confirm the property is performing against the underwriting. If anything went sideways with an operator, we want to know — that information shapes who we introduce next.

Real Questions

The actual hesitations investors have.

Why only Nottingham? What if I want Birmingham or Manchester?
+

Then we're not the right partner — and that's an honest answer. Our edge is specifically in Nottingham, specifically , because the founder is in-person here. If your strategy is multi-city, you want a multi-city operator. Other excellent sourcers operate in those cities. We're not trying to be everyone's sourcer.

How is this different from a buyer's agent?
+

Similar role, narrower focus. Buyer's agents typically work across price ranges and buyer types in whatever geography they cover. We work exclusively with property investors deploying £50k+ in Nottingham. Same fundamental relationship; different specialisation.

What if I want to view properties in person before committing?
+

Welcome and encouraged. We expect serious investors to view at least once before exchanging contracts. We coordinate viewings; you travel up; you see the property. What we don't do is repeat viewings with extended family or neighbourhood walks — that's project manager territory.

What if you can't find anything matching my brief?
+

It happens. If after 90 days of active sourcing we haven't found a deal that matches, we have an honest conversation. Sometimes the brief flexes; sometimes the market isn't right. If neither side wants to continue, the engagement fee is refunded in full. No lock-in.

How do you actually source deals?
+

Mixed approach. Direct vendor relationships built over time (local owners selling off-market). Agent relationships in Nottingham where we get first call before listings go online. Targeted direct mail to specific streets. Network referrals from solicitors, accountants, financial advisers. Roughly 60% of what we source is genuinely off-market.

What's the engagement fee, and when is it refunded?
+

£500, paid after the brief is agreed. It's refundable against your first sourcing fee at completion. If we don't find anything within 90 days and we mutually agree to end the engagement, the full £500 is refunded.

Do I have to use your recommended operators?
+

No. Our introductions are exactly that — introductions. You choose who to work with. We make these introductions because we know the operators personally and stand behind them, but you're free to use your own.

What if I have property to sell, not buy?
+

We have a separate vendor stream for off-market sourcing — for owners of Nottingham investment property who want to sell privately to one of our investors. Different process, different fee structure. See sell.theresidency.co for full details.

PLACEHOLDER 08 — FOUNDER

The Founder

Based in Nottingham,
by deliberate choice.

I founded The Residency Co. because I wanted to do property sourcing the way it should be done — with proper rigour, in-person operator relationships, and an honest fee model that doesn't make sense for either side unless we both win.

I'm based with deliberate, regular access to Nottingham. I meet every operator personally before they enter our network. I read every application. I write every brief.

"This isn't a marketing line. It's a structural decision — and it shapes every deal we source."
If This Fits

A 30-minute conversation.
No engagement fee at this stage.

Just an honest discussion about whether what we do fits what you're trying to build. If it doesn't, I'll tell you directly and point you toward something that might suit better.
