Property investment firm targets ambitious portfolio expansion

A newly established property group based in Leeds but operating nationally already has a portfolio of 26 properties worth £6m.

Evolve Property Partners comprises eight entities dedicated to assisting investors in all aspects of the property world.

It was founded and owned by George Burns, James Smethurst, and Tom Goldthorpe, who collectively bring over a decade of property experience to the table.

Over the next 12 months, the trio say they plan to expand their portfolio further, while continuing to sell extensively renovated homes.

They have noted that the current market suffers from a shortage of good family homes, with “overpriced” new builds dominating the landscape.

To address this gap, their business aims to purchase dilapidated properties and transform them into high quality family homes, either for sale to the residential market or for rental purposes.

A spokesman for the business said: “To ensure our renovated properties meet the highest standards, we collaborate with a team of skilled architects, contractors, and designers.

“This approach not only revitalises neglected homes but also enhances the overall quality and value of the properties.

“We also collaborate with investors through various partnerships, offering models such as an earn-and-learn approach or a hands-off strategy for those who prefer a more passive role.

“These partnerships are designed not only for investors but also for individuals aspiring to build a profitable property company.

“We’ve developed effective systems and strategies that empower anyone to create, build, and grow a successful property business.

“These methods will soon be available through an educational platform designed for others to replicate Evolve’s strategies.”
