Just what I was looking for..... Amazing!!

I started my investment journey with Emergence just before the COVID pandemic. What a great hands off experience it has been. My main point of contact was/is Tom Mills and he and his team are the most helpful, proactive and knowledgeable people you can have on your side. The support starts from the very first time a property is sourced and you still get that support after the completion.
I have never actually met Tom or attended any of their days out, but I have spoken to him numerous times.
Having sourced a couple of properties through Tom maybe now I should meet the team lol.
In all seriousness, I recommend this team very highly and look forward to working with Emergence Property for years to come.
Maybe I shouldn't praise them so highly as there will be less properties for the current investors Hahaha

Flawless execution, amazing service

Purchased our first property through Emergence and all went to plan with the refurb and achieved higher than expected rent. Amazing customer service and delivery. Flawless execution from all the Emergence team.

Tom Mills and Emergence Property are the best

Tom Mills and Emergence Property have been fantastic. We have previously had a few bad experiences with other companies but we have had our faith restored with Tom. Always replies promptly to any queries, does exactly what he says he will and on time, also keeps you informed every step of the way.
I would recommend this company all day, everyday. They are brilliant!!

Reliable and Professional Approach

Tom from Emergency is a honest and reliable person to work with. Him and his team are quick to respond to my inquiries. He is good in sending detailed reseach and enough to make a decision. Ofcourse, I make my due diligence, they tally with his details. He deliverd within the expected budget and timeline once the project started. Most essentially, he provided weekly update on all progress without any chasing from my side. I hope to work on more project with Emergency Property in the near future.

Emergence Property Review

Tom Mills and Oliver Whitaker are very trustworthy and honest businessmen. I have built a relationship with them over the past year or so and I have complete confidence in them and their company. I have had support and guidance from them whenever it has been required, their service is very personal and reassuring. I would have no issues recommending them to others or working with them again in the future.

This was my first time in investing in property and after doing due diligence, I opted to use the services of Emergence. From the initial contact right through to completion, communication and information has been excellent and exceeded my expectations. I can’t recommend Tom and the team enough and I look forward to working with them again in the near future.

Reliable,attentive,efficient service. highly recommended

I am a property investor based in Asia. I have been investing in properties many years however very few agents like Tom who can impressed me with the great service and professionalism.

He responded to every of my inquiry quickly despite we are living in different time zones. He gave me a comprehensive market analysis for each property which is very important to the investors who are not familiar with the area, always constructive opinions.

He listened to what I wanted and tailored-made a property investment plan fits my requirement. So far I am very satisfied with his services.

Highly recommended to the ones who looking for property investments in North East part of England.

Reliable,attentive,efficient service.

Superior professionalism

For me the litmus test has been the Covid period. When everyone was dreading communicating with investors, Tom consistently kept us posted on the property developments. No rosy picture was painted, fact was presented as is with an optimistic mindset. I haven't had a chance to meet Tom is person but very confident to work with him. How the person behaves in a moment of crisis says a lot about them and for me Tom has far surpassed my expectations. He'll build an empire and will make sure others around him benefit too.

Genuine review of my investment journey.

I networked with Tom just over 12months ago and I instantly clicked with his business model. He is very calm and cool in his approach and these were good signs for me. Secondly, his team's knowledge of the areas of investment seem to be of a great potential as others have somewhat shown interest in similar parts of the country. Overall, there has been a effortless rapport built up bringing trust into this relationship of providing investors like myself assurance and that continuous business can be achieved to bring great results.

Excellent hands free property investment

Being a hands off property investor, I extensively researched turnkey property companies, able to source, assist with the purchase, project manage the refurb and help with getting a tenant in. Thankful I came across Tom and Ollie at Emergenceproperty, who ticked all these boxes.

From start to finish, property sourced to refurb and tenanted went right to plan in 6 months.

I will most certainly be working with Tom and Ollie over the next 5 years as I build up my retirement portfolio.

If you are considering property investment, I would highly recommend a call with these guys first.

Hands Free Investment

Tom & Ollie are 1 of the better property packagers around. They are a very professional company that are helping me build my portfolio up North. I have recently purchased 2 properties with them and wouldn't hesitate to get another one. Ideal for 'hands free investment'.

Hand off property investment company

I live and just completed my first mini HMO in Crawley West Sussex. I wanted to invest in the North as the yields are double than south and the prices affordable for a middle class person. However the travelling distance and the days I had to spent to keep going up there and view properties would cost me a lot so I had to find a good company to assist me with my investment.

Emergence property was the best decision I ve done at that time. They are a hands off property investment company. They sourced me a property and refurbished to a good standard which currently generates 11% gross yield and got rented in 2 days. With 75% loan to Value mortgage I will be able to release 90% of my initial investment.

They are professional and they have a passion about property.

Emergence property is the solution If you live south and want to invest in the North where yields are double and your money can work harder.

I am planning to build a huge portfolio with Emergence property.

Unparalleled service!

Tom and Ollie provide a truly unique experience for anyone wanting to invest in high-yielding properties with a “hands-off” approach. Extremely knowledgable and professional, they gave me confidence from day one that I was making a wise investment.
I am currently in the middle of purchasing three properties which were sourced for me by Tom and the refurbs will be project managed by Ollie. Judging by the results I’ve seen from their previous projects, I can’t wait to see the finished products!
To anyone wishing to invest in property who doesn’t have the time or market knowledge, I would strongly recommend you contacting the guys at Emergence Property... you won’t be disappointed!

One of my best decisions

Came across Tom and the team after wanting to invest in property but at the same time had no experience and a bit hesitant at the best course of action. Having my own business anyway that i wanted to devote my time to, i wanted a hands-off investment whilst at the same time delivering good returns. We spoke on the phone and the key things i wanted was realistic figures and deals, and above all, good communication as the areas emergence property work in are futher away than a quick drive in the car to see how things are going . Since our call Tom has delivered exactly that, weekly updates, photos of prospective deals with breakdown of costs and a genuine sense that he knows exactly what he's talking about. Update so far, we have purchased our first investment property through his sourcing which was seamless with a second on the way!

Thoroughly recommend
