The Market
Northampton: the investor view.
Northampton sits inside the East Midlands, one of our active sourcing regions. Northampton sits at the heart of the logistics 'golden triangle' with a large distribution workforce.
The East Midlands is a steady, affordable, high-yield region that rewards investors who buy well. Nottingham anchors it with two universities and a large student rental market, plus regeneration around the Island Quarter. Derby's economy leans on major employers — Rolls-Royce, Toyota, Alstom — giving reliable professional and contractor rental demand. Leicester adds a diverse economy and two more universities.
If Northampton is on your list, tell us — off-market stock here is matched to investors on our list before anyone else sees it.

How the figure is reached
A deal with no contingency is not a deal. We would rather the numbers were dull and robust than exciting and fragile.
Northampton
How the work gets done
Stock is matched to registered criteria rather than broadcast. A deal that suits a cash buyer wanting a flip is the wrong deal for someone building a hold portfolio.
Northampton
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
First-time landlords are welcome. They get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Northampton
Compliance, plainly
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.
Northampton
Things we don't do
We do not advise on finance or tax. Those are jobs for a broker and an accountant. We will say so rather than improvise.
Northampton
Getting started
We would rather spend longer on the first conversation and less on fixing a misunderstanding later.

Your Questions
What investors ask about Northampton.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is a typical Northampton project?
Cosmetic through to full modernisation. Which end of that range suits you is one of the questions we ask up front, because it changes what we send you.
Do you provide surveys or valuations?
No. You should commission your own survey and your own valuation, and we would think less of an investor who did not.
Can I view before committing?
Yes. We would not expect anyone to commit to a property they have not seen.
What if I want to hold rather than flip?
Then we will match you against stock that suits holding. The strategy drives the sourcing, not the other way round.
