Find Your Fit
Which property strategy fits you?
Flip to sell, refurb to rent, or buy and hold with serviced accommodation income — each works for a different kind of investor. Here's an honest comparison, and where we can help with each.
Three Routes
The strategies we source for.
Flip to Sell
Buy tired or unmodernised stock off-market, do the works, sell at the new value. The margin is made on the day you buy — which is exactly why off-market access matters.
Refurb to Rent
Keep the uplifted asset and let it — a standard tenancy for simplicity, or room-by-room as an HMO where the numbers and licensing stack up.
Refurb to SA
The buy-and-hold route with the strongest income: refurbish, then hand it to our team to run as serviced accommodation — the exit no pure sourcer can offer.
Honest Comparison
Capital, effort, income pattern.
Flip to Sell
Fastest capital cycle and no landlord obligations — but the whole return rides on buying right, controlling the works, and the market holding while you refurbish. Selling costs and tax eat careless margins.
Refurb to Rent
Steady income plus the uplift stays on your balance sheet. Simpler than SA day-to-day; the ceiling is local market rent, and HMOs add licensing and management weight.
Refurb to SA
Nightly pricing typically out-earns a single let — up to 40% more — but it's an operating business. Hands-free only because our team runs it: pricing, guests, cleaning, compliance, monthly statement.
Figures discussed with investors are market-typical illustrations, not guarantees or financial advice. Property values and income can go down as well as up. We always recommend independent legal and financial advice before you buy.
Which Fits You?
A quick, honest self-check.
- Want your capital back fast and enjoy running projects? Flipping suits you — tell us your works appetite when you register.
- Building a portfolio and want the uplift to compound? Refurb to rent — standard let for simplicity, HMO for yield if you'll carry the licensing.
- Want the strongest income without running anything after the works? Refurb to SA with our team managing is built for exactly that.
- Not sure? Tell us your budget and goals when you register — “open to recommendations” is a perfectly good answer.
Every strategy has its own guide, from BRRR and flips to HMOs and buy-to-let.
