About Us
We're JACK
Jordan | Alex | Carss | Kyselak
Not that we knew much about it, but we met when we were babies at a baby group in Harrow, Greater London. Fast forward to today and we’re now business partners moving our way through the property industry, which all stems from our shared immense passion for property.
Jordan, our resident Project Manager, has over 10 years of experience in managing complex projects in the digital transformation and IT sector. Jordan’s expertise in planning and data analysis helps us identify the best investment opportunities and streamline our processes for maximum efficiency.
Alex, our resident Electrician, also has 10+ years of hands-on experience. Alex’s practical knowledge ensures all electrical needs are addressed, our investment properties are safe, compliant, and optimised for energy efficiency and cost savings.
Our company values are Quality, Creativity, Personability and Proficiency. Our track record is second to none, with our last projects uplifting an average of 44% in value from a refurbishment cost of on average 20% of the original property value.

BMV stands for Below Market Value — a term every investor keeps an eye out for.
It basically means they got a deal — picking up a property for less than it’s worth right now. That can be a game-changer for building profit from day one.
Whether it’s a motivated seller, an off-market find, or just smart negotiation — BMV is a concept worth knowing if you’re serious about investing.

Growing up around tools, sawdust, and sites — the move into property wasn’t a leap, it was a natural transition.
With a background in construction and project management, property investment became less of a gamble and more of a strategy.
🧠 Leverage your skillset. Play to your strengths. Every investor’s journey looks different — but it’s what you build with it that counts.

If you’re getting into property, you’ll definitely come across GDV — short for Gross Development Value.
In simple terms, it’s what your project is expected to be worth once it’s finished.
Knowing your GDV helps you figure out if a deal is worth it, how much you can borrow, and what kind of profit you’re aiming for.
It’s one of the first numbers investors and developers want to know — and now you’re in the know too.

📊 Purchase price: £130K. Rennovation cost: £30K. Revalued at £180K.
That’s a £50K uplift and £20k profit created through renovations — solid ROI on the first project. 💼
Funds recycled and moved straight into the next deal. This is how you build momentum and scale a portfolio.
🔁 Add value. Refinance. Repeat.

⏳ *Still waiting for the “perfect time” to buy?*
Some people have been sitting on cash for years, waiting for a crash that either never came or came and went.
If they’d bought 10 years ago, they could’ve doubled their money by now (in some cases!)
Property isn’t always a quick win — but it’s a long game with real gains. 💡
📈 Sometimes the biggest risk is waiting too long.

We touched on this in our last Reel—now here’s a deeper dive.
If you get any issues in your survey, a retention clause can help you move forward while still covering the cost of repairs.
It’s a handy tool that not everyone knows about—swipe through to see how it works, when to use it, and what to keep in mind. 🛠️🏡

💸 *“I bought it for £130K... then got £6K back after the sale!”*
When damp issues showed up after the offer was accepted, we used a retention clause to negotiate money back from the seller to cover repairs.
Why reduce the purchase price and only save £20/month on the mortgage and £1.5k deposit, when you can get £6K upfront to fund the works instead? 👀
Always leave room to negotiate — even after the offer is accepted.

📉 Base rate update: what does it mean for investors?
On 5th Feb 2025, the Bank of England reduced the base rate from 4.75% to 4.5% — a shift that’s still impacting the market today.
Lenders are reacting. Fixed-rate mortgages (especially for owner-occupiers) are starting to dip into the high 3s and low 4s. For us as investors, especially through Ltd Co buy-to-let products, rates are still higher — but the downward trend is clear.
🔍 While we’re unlikely to return to the sub-1% era, the market sentiment is shifting. And that shift means opportunity. With cheaper borrowing, buyer confidence tends to rise — which can push property values up, especially in high-demand areas.

Ever wondered why so many people turn to property as their go-to investment?
It’s simple — it gives you the best of both worlds: monthly cash flow and long-term growth. 📈
Here’s what makes property stand out for us:
• Passive Income – Get paid rent every month
• Long-Term Growth – Property values tend to go up over time
• Leverage – Use financing to build your portfolio faster
• Add Value – Renovating or developing boost your returns

Property Playbook: The Glossary 001 | BRRR = Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent
The process involves purchasing a property below market value, adding value through refurbishment, refinancing to release equity, and renting it out to generate income. It’s a powerful way to grow a property portfolio while recycling your initial capital for future investments. A strategy that has and will continue to work well for us 💸
Here’s a quick graph summarising our last video on how £100k can grow into over £500k through property investment. By investing £100k in a £400k Buy-to-Let, with an average annual property appreciation of 6%, the property value could reach £716k in 10 years. Add £90k in rental income over the same period, and your total capital in property becomes £516k. A smart, hands-off way to build long-term wealth!
