Hi. I’m Chris Nelson and I started my property journey in 2005, leaving a successful career working in the management of a large charity that looked out for the rights of people and worked with Government to ensure citizens were treated fairly and legally. The charity was the Birmingham Citizens Advice Bureaux.
I retrained as a domestic energy assessor and home inspector to offer EPCs to vendors and landlords, and to supply Home Information Packs to Estate Agents, but in 2010 moved the focus of the business to offer innovative solutions to the ever increasing problem of home reposessions.

It was on the announcement of the Section 24 income tax changes that I decided that there must a solution to the seemingly impossible situation private landlords found themselves. Six months of research and development with accountants, solicitors and coffee helped develop that solution - the 60/40 plan.
On many occasions I have been asked how I can offer this service and keep going, as it is unique in what it does. The answer is simple. Rather than make a quick killing by buying a few properties for a hefty discount, I would rather partner with more landlords and share in the long-term benefits of property, so we are all better off.
I am based in the Nuneaton area of Warwickshire, but the way I have structured the 60/40 solution means I can and do offer the service anywhere in the UK, as wherever possible, the tenant, managing agent and rent remains constant throughout the process.
