About

I'm Ollie Ryan,
UK property investor.

I graduated from the University of Leeds with an engineering degree and entered into construction, working at prominent main contractors and architecture firms, starting out in super prime residential in central London.

That background gives me something most property investors don't have: I understand buildability, regulations, and how to manage a refurbishment the right way. I know what things should cost and how to hold a build team accountable.

I work with a small group of investors at any one time — keeping things personal, and delivery focused. When I'm not busy delivering property you'll find me on the weekend watching the rugby with a Guinness or trying to escape for a week of skiing in France.

How am I different

Not a platform.
Not a funnel.

Most property investment companies are running volume — webinars, funnels, junior sales reps, a process built to scale rather than to serve. That's not what this is.

No Webinars. No Sales Funnels.

That's the industry standard. We do things differently — you reach out, we have a real conversation, and we work together only if it makes sense for both of us.

01

Every property is chosen for you

We don't do mass volume. Each deal is sourced with a specific investor in mind — your capital, your goals, your timeline. Nothing generic, nothing off-the-shelf.

02

You deal directly with Ollie

No junior sales rep. No account manager. You get my direct number and WhatsApp from day one. Questions get answered by the person doing the work — always.

03

Hands-off or genuinely involved

Want to leave it entirely to me? Done. Want to understand every decision as we go? Also done. I take on investors who are curious, not just passive capital.

04

Real knowledge transfer

If you want to understand how deals are sourced, analysed and negotiated, you'll come away having actually learned something. That's a rare offer in this space.

What you get

The advantages of working
with someone who knows the trade.

Negotiated purchase price
Every deal is negotiated hard — years of sourcing experience means I know what a property is worth and what it should cost. That saving goes straight to your return.
Knowing what makes a good deal
Not every cheap property is a good investment. I assess areas for rental demand, capital growth and refinance prospects — so we only pursue deals that stack up on every metric.
Discounted build team
I work with a trusted network of tradespeople. Because of the ongoing relationship and volume of work, I negotiate better rates than a one-off landlord ever could — keeping your refurb budget lean.
Construction experience on your side
An MEP and construction management background means I can spot problems before they become expensive, scope refurbs accurately and hold contractors accountable. Most investors don't have this — you do.
Trusted third-party specialists
You benefit from my established relationships with specialist brokers, solicitors and letting agents — people who know property investment inside out and deliver at every stage of a deal.
Ground-level property knowledge
Interested in learning as you go? I'll walk you through every decision — how I found the deal, why I offered what I did, how I scoped the build. Real education, not a weekend seminar.
How to get involved

Three steps from
conversation to deal.

No lengthy onboarding. No automated emails. Save my number, drop me a WhatsApp and we'll take it from there.

01
Drop me a WhatsApp
Save my number and send me a message. Tell me a bit about where you are and what you're looking to achieve. I'll reply personally.
The starting point
02
Committal fee & brief
If we're both happy, a small committal fee confirms we're serious. We agree your brief — location, budget, target return — and the active search begins.
Search begins
03
Deal presented & approved
When I find the right property, I present the full numbers. You say yes or no. No pressure either way — the property has to work for you.
Your decision
£50k
Minimum capital to get started This covers a typical purchase deposit, refurb costs and purchase fees for a BRRR deal. If you're working with more, we can discuss structuring across one or multiple properties.
Fee structure

Transparent fees,
no surprises.

I charge two fees per deal — a sourcing fee and a build management fee. No ongoing retainer, no cut of your rental income, no performance fees.

I earn when I deliver. The sourcing fee is paid on completion of purchase. The build management fee is paid on completion of the refurbishment.

Why this structure? My fees are tied directly to the work — finding the deal and delivering the refurb. Incentives stay aligned. I don't get paid until you have an asset.
Sourcing fee
2% of purchase price
Covers market analysis, deal origination, viewings, negotiation and purchase progression. Paid on legal completion.
Minimum fee: £3,500
Build management fee
10% of build cost
Covers full project management — contractors, timelines, budgets and sign-off. Paid on practical completion of works.
What's not charged
—No ongoing management retainer
—No cut of rental income
—No performance fees
—No hidden charges
Who this is for

The right fit
matters both ways.

This isn't for everyone. But if you see yourself below, let's talk.

You have £50k or more to invest
Savings or equity sitting idle that you want working harder than a cash ISA.
You want hands-off simplicity
No interest in dealing with tenants, contractors or maintenance yourself.
Or you're genuinely curious about property
You'd like to understand the BRRR model in practice and pick up real knowledge along the way.
You value a direct relationship
You want to deal with the person actually doing the work — not get passed around a team.
