UK property, held in your name
Keep your capital in UK property, without the tenants, the evictions, or the 2am phone call. You hold the title deed; a specialist team handles the sourcing, the refurbishment and the lease. You see every number before you decide.
A conversation about whether it fits, not a pitch. No obligation.
The routes
Both put capital into real UK property. Which one fits comes down to whether you want to own the property outright or hold a defined position.
Own the property outright.
You buy a UK property in your name or company, let on a long lease to a local-authority operator. We source it, refurbish it to standard, and place the lease. You hold the title; the income arrives under the lease.
Invest into the MRM Group Fund.
The MRM Group Fund is a pooled investment for certified high-net-worth and sophisticated investors, paying a fixed return from MRM's UK property operation. Its terms are a restricted financial promotion, shown only once you have verified.
How it works
Every stage of the model, from the property being sourced to rent reaching your account. MRM runs the first three steps; the last two are yours to hold.
Each property is bought below market value and improved through refurbishment, so the value is built in at purchase rather than added by marketing. MRM sources the deals that meet this test and passes on the ones that do not.
Conveyancing, surveys and the refurbishment are managed end to end. This is the stage that takes time: purchases and refurbishments run in months, not weeks, and can overrun. It suits capital that can be left in place.
The completed property is let on a long-term lease to a local authority or housing association. That institution takes on the tenant and the day-to-day management, in place of an individual private tenant.
The property is registered in your name at the Land Registry. You own the asset itself, not a certificate, a bond, or a claim against another company. This is the distinction the failed schemes in this sector blurred.
Rent is paid under a defined lease, with a named lessee and a fixed term, provided for review before you commit. It is contractual lease income, not a promise of a fixed outcome: leases end, and terms can be renegotiated at renewal.

Illustrative, not a promise. Projections are not guaranteed; property values can fall, refurb can overrun, and a lease can end. Take independent advice before committing capital.
Book a callWhy this is different
Home REIT and Alderley cost ordinary investors real money. Both failures came down to the same two structural weaknesses, and this model is built to remove them.
Evidence
Each opportunity comes with the evidence behind it. Before any capital is committed, you review:
A valuation from an independent RICS surveyor, not an in-house estimate.
The lease itself, redacted where required, showing the named lessee, the term and the rent.
Photographs of the property as purchased and as refurbished.
The purchase price, the refurbishment spend, and how comparable past deals have performed.
A completed deal is walked through on the introductory call: a specific property, with its actual figures.
Where this sits
How direct ownership through MRM compares with the options most people weigh it against.
No option removes risk. Property values can fall, and property is not a liquid asset.

The operator
Manny Odunsi
Founder, MRM Group
MRM Group is led by founder Manny Odunsi, who has spent over a decade sourcing, refurbishing and letting UK residential property. The firm works on a simple principle: the operator is the risk, so every deal is documented and every figure is shown.
The structure is designed to stand on documentation and legal title, not on trust in any one person.
Answered
The questions raised most often about this model, including the ones prompted by the failures elsewhere in the sector, answered directly.
It sits in the same category, which is why it is the first question to address. The failed schemes shared two features: the lease sat with a thinly capitalised middleman rather than a real institution, and the property was sold well above its bricks-and-mortar value. Both are verifiable in any deal: the identity of the lessee, and an independent valuation. Here, the lessee is a named local authority or housing association, and an independent RICS valuation is provided before purchase.
It cannot, and no such claim is made. The return comes from buying below market value and adding value through refurbishment, and an institutional lessee reduces void and arrears risk. It does not remove risk: property values can fall, refurbishments can overrun, and leases end.
Yes. You hold the legal title. Hands-off describes who does the work, not who owns the asset, and conflating the two is what caught investors in the failed schemes.
The lease is held by the local authority or housing association, not by an individual tenant. Under the lease, the institution is responsible for the rent and for the condition of the property. That structure is what removes individual-tenant risk.
Time and liquidity. Conveyancing and refurbishment run in months, not weeks, and property is not a liquid asset. Releasing capital means selling, which takes time. The model suits capital that can stay invested; it is not suitable if you may need quick access to it.
