"Stephen Blunston is a full-time property investor buying, rebuilding, and operating cash-flowing property and portfolios across the Midlands. His experience spans HMOs, serviced accommodation, supported housing, buy-to-lets, and multi-unit portfolio acquisitions, with a sharp focus on value-add deals and asset management.

Built from the ground up, Stephen’s approach is hands-on, commercial, and rooted in what actually works, not theory or hype. He shares the real lessons from buying at scale, fixing problems, and making property pay its way."

"Ciaran Durkin is a local property investor. He got a taste for property investment at a young age. His Dad is a builder so Ciaran grew up on building sites and lived in refurbs. He started investing in 2012 and went full time in 2018. He has a strong local knowledge, investing predominantly in Birmingham and the surrounding areas. His experience spans multi-unit freehold blocks, large HMOs, single lets, flips, and planning gain opportunities.

Most of Ciaran’s projects involve large scale refurbishments, often back to brick, and his preferred method of purchasing is direct to vendor, with the majority of his portfolio acquired off market."
