Having worked in the letting industry for almost a decade in Glasgow, I watched year on year the demand outstrip supply for quality affordable rental property in the city. A pattern emerged of professionals and students fighting over the same property. What did they want? They had the same requirements; stylish, good location and easy travel connections. These types of properties flew out of the door every time with no void periods and strong rents. It was obvious our property portfolio needed more of these specific types so I embarked on souring new properties for our current landlords confident I could renovate and furnish them to a standard that attracted good quality tenants that looked after the property year on year.
That was 8 years ago. I now have a client base of returning investors entrusting me with their hard earned investment to complete the full package of sourcing, buying, renovating and furnishing. My long standing team of tradesmen, estate agents and letting experts ensure I can offer a timely, value added and efficient service. All too often investors would jump at buying a property in excitement in the wrong area and leave it poorly renovated or furnished. For it to be a solid investment the full process has to be implemented.
I've said for years, "Happy tenants equals happy landlords." I've watched tenants get super excited when they go to view one of my purchases and rush to reserve it. I love what I do and relish in the tried and tested process investors and landlords have relied upon.
Experience. Experience. Experience.
We’ve been through all the property heartaches that cost time and money and an awful lot of stress and whilst investing in property is a risk like any other investment, you’d rather be guided by an expert that’s already made the mistakes.
“All the glitters are not gold.” All too often “investment properties” proposed by agents are packaged up in such a way it builds your excitement but it takes an expert to be able to strip it back and see what is really on offer.
Our experience in letting gives us a wealth of information about the city and where the best places to buy are. The better the tenants, the better the investment is.
Integrity is everything. Our heart and soul goes into every property we source, renovate, furnish and ultimately let. Our client base has been built upon recommendations and referrals. We live and breathe this process and still enjoy the excitement of purchasing properties for our clients.
We work within your budget and will give honest feedback on what can realistically be achieved. Our investors from the UK and Overseas trust us to manage their money effectively and have returned on several occasions to continue to grow their portfolio through us.
"I used Kelvingrove Property Sourcing services to find a property to rent out as an investment. The sourcing was efficient and stress-free. After one week, I was sent options and costings. Jay made sure, the flat was stylishly furnished at a moderate cost, furthermore, all safety checks were completed before putting the flat on the market.
I can recommend this service for anyone who looks to invest in a buy to let property or to buy a home. Not only does Jay possess incredible expertise of the housing market, but with her list of contacts she makes sure properties are up and running in no time at all."

I have worked with Jay for the past 5 years as an advisor, helper, sourcer, fixer etc for adding to my property portfolio in Glasgow. Jay is always professional and helpful no matter what the situation. Her knowledge or the property market in Glasgow is excellent and sets her head and shoulders above her peers.
The types of property Jay can source suits all budgets and the yields are great. Jay has project managed 1 - 2 bed conversions and also simple do'er upper's for me and this has been totally painless through her professionalism and experience.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Jay.
