About Estate Plan

20 Years in Corporate Housing. Now Working for You.

I've marketed 500+ serviced apartments, built digital platforms for the industry, and invest in what I recommend.

Most property sourcers understand bricks and mortar. I understand bookings, algorithms, and occupancy optimisation. That difference matters when you're evaluating deals.

As Marketing Director at Roomspace, I built the digital presence for 500+ serviced apartments across Brighton and London. Before that, I grew up in the industry through The Apartment Service - a family business later acquired by Silverdoor.

I founded Website for Bookings, providing digital marketing for the serviced accommodation sector. Over the years I've worked with SA operators, booking agents, and industry bodies including ASAP (Association of Serviced Apartment Providers).

This combination - operational understanding plus digital marketing expertise - comes standard with every deal I source. I don't just find properties; I know what makes them perform.

More recently, I've built AI-powered systems for deal analysis and marketing automation - tools that evaluate opportunities faster and more accurately than traditional methods.

Today, I own HMOs, BTLs, and serviced apartments across the South East. I only recommend deals I'd invest in myself - because I often do.
