Jeroen wanted to invest in the UK property market.

But there was one problem…

He was based in The Netherlands and had no idea where to start.

✅ He didn’t know the best areas to invest in.

✅ He had no connections with UK agents or deal sourcers.

✅ He had concerns about managing a property refurbishment from another country.

Most people would have given up.

But Jeroen knew the UK market offered better returns than the Netherlands, and he was

determined to make it work remotely.

How It Started

Jeroen came across my content online and reached out.

He told me what he was looking for: a hands-off investment in a high-yielding UK city with strong rental demand.

He didn’t want the hassle of flying back and forth, dealing with agents, or managing renovations.

So I leaned on what I do best, helping overseas investors build profitable portfolios without stepping foot in the UK.

The Process

I got straight to work, leveraging my agent connections, market knowledge, and sourcing

system to find Jeroen the right deal.

Step 1 – Finding the Perfect Property

I pinpointed Liverpool as the ideal investment location due to:

• Low entry prices compared to London & Manchester
• High rental demand from professionals & students
• Strong yields & long-term capital growth potential

After filtering through multiple deals, I secured a property that fit Jeroen’s criteria, a below-market-value, high-yielding buy-to-let in a strong rental area.

Step 2 – Negotiating the Best Deal

Since the property wasn’t yet listed, we had the upper hand.

I negotiated a discount off the asking price and ensured Jeroen secured a great deal.

Step 3 – Managing the Refurbishment

The property needed some light refurbishments to maximise rental income.

I handled everything:

✔ Organised local contractors

✔ Managed the refurb remotely with progress updates

✔ Ensured a high-quality finish within budget

Step 4 – Letting the Property

Once complete, we placed the property on the market and secured a reliable tenant within 10 days.

The result?

• 8%+ rental yield
• Fully hands-off investment
• A high-cash-flowing property in Jeroen’s portfolio

Why This Worked for Jeroen

Jeroen was able to invest in UK property remotely without the stress, knowing he had:

✅ A trusted team handling everything for him

✅ A profitable property secured at a discount

✅ Strong monthly cash flow

He didn’t have to fly over, deal with agents, or manage contractors, he just saw the numbers, made a decision, and let us handle the rest.

This deal worked because of relationships, knowledge, and execution.

I’ve built a network of agents, landlords, and contractors that allows me to find off- market, high-return deals and deliver a hands-off investment process for overseas clients.

If you’re outside the UK but want to start investing, it’s possible.

You just need the right people in your corner.
