A rental property in South Wales, found, bought and set up for you. Yours from day one, and you never have to visit it.
The first call does one thing: works out whether this is a fit. Nothing is committed and nothing is charged.
I'm Arbion Muca, a dimensional control engineer at Hinkley Point C, where I run setting out and survey on one of the largest construction projects in Europe. Finding the error in someone else's numbers before it becomes expensive is, quite literally, my job description.
I also run multiple limited companies. So I've sat on the same side of the desk as you: money accumulating in a business account doing nothing useful, and every option for moving it looking like either a tax bill or a second job.
AM Property exists to apply survey discipline to property. In practice that means:
Most directors I speak to are in the same position.
What you're trying to achieve, roughly what capital you have and where it sits, and whether what I do matches it. If it doesn't, I'll tell you on this call and we stop there.
Your time: 15 minutesWe agree, in writing, exactly what I'm looking for: budget, target yield, area, property type, condition you'll accept, and the timescale. That document is what I'm then held to. This is the point at which the commitment fee is paid.
Your time: 45 minutesAgents, auctions, off-market and direct approaches. I view every property myself and get refurbishment quoted properly before it goes anywhere near your inbox.
Your time: noneFull figures: purchase price, stamp duty, legal costs, quoted refurbishment, contingency, rental comparables, and what the numbers look like if it goes badly. If it doesn't stack up for you, we get on a call, work out why it missed, and I go again against the same brief at no extra cost.
Your time: reading itI handle the offer, the negotiation and the chase, and work alongside your solicitor and broker through to completion. Funds go through the solicitor. I never hold your money.
Your time: signaturesContractors managed, works signed off, property let and handed to a letting agent. You end up with a tenanted asset and a managing agent, not a project.
Your time: noneYou own the property outright, in your name or your company's. You are not investing in a fund, a scheme, or a joint venture with me.
A property purchase touches five or six different professionals. I already have all of them in place and working together, which is most of the reason this runs to timescale rather than drifting.
Specialises in limited company buy-to-let, including lending into an SPV. Knows which lenders will and won't touch your structure before you waste three weeks finding out.
Works on investment purchases day in, day out, and is used to moving at the pace a deal needs rather than the pace a residential chain allows.
The team who price the refurbishment and then carry it out. Quotes are written, scheduled and signed off.
For anything structural or anything the vendor is quiet about. If a property needs a full building survey before I'd recommend it, you get one.
Finds and references the tenant, then manages the property after handover. This is what makes it genuinely hands-free rather than hands-off until something breaks.
Sourcing, underwriting, negotiation, and keeping the five people above pointed in the same direction so you don't have to.
Use mine, or use yours. I'll recommend my team because they already know how I work and it keeps things moving, but you are never obliged to use any of them. Bring your own broker, your own solicitor, your own trades - I'll work with whoever you appoint. It's your property and your money, so it's your call, every time.
These are the numbers a property typically hits before I'd put it in front of you. Every figure is a target, not a promise.
Some properties need refurbishment and some are ready to let.

When the £1,000 comes back: in full within five working days, if I haven't presented at least one property matching your agreed brief within 60 days and you'd rather not extend, or if the vendor withdraws before exchange of contracts.
When it doesn't: if you turn down three properties that all match your agreed brief without reasonable cause.
Often yes, but usually through a separate company rather than your trading company, because holding investment property inside a trading business can create tax problems and most buy-to-let lenders won't lend to it. Your accountant will confirm the right structure for you. I'll work alongside them, but I don't give tax advice.
Two calls, fifteen minutes and forty-five minutes, plus the time it takes you to read the deal pack and sign what the solicitor sends you. Everything else sits with me.
No. I'll recommend mine because they already know how I work and it keeps the timescale honest, but you're free to appoint your own at every stage. I'll work with whoever you choose.
No. You buy in your own name or your company's, and funds go through the solicitor. I never hold client money.
I work to a 60-day window from the day we agree your brief. If I haven't presented at least one property that matches it by then, the choice is yours: your commitment fee back in full within five working days, or we look at what the market is actually doing and agree a new window together. Either way it's your call, not mine.
The arithmetic, mostly. Bristol's average house price was £355,000 in May 2026 against roughly £212,000 across Wales, and the terraced stock I target in Newport and Swansea sits below even that - so the same capital that buys one property on this side of the Severn buys two on the other, without rents falling away in proportion.
Demand holds up because Newport sits on the M4 between Cardiff and Bristol, drawing tenants who work in either city and live where housing costs less. Its population grew 9.5% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, the fastest of any local authority in Wales.
And I live in Bristol, half an hour from Newport. I view every property myself and I am on site while the work is done, which is the part that goes wrong when someone is sourcing an area from two hundred miles away.
Either works. Cash is faster and simpler. If you're borrowing, you'll need a broker who handles limited company buy-to-let, and mine does. You're welcome to use your own instead.
Void periods between tenants. Refurbishment costing more than quoted. Interest rates moving. Values falling. Tenants not paying. Property is not a guaranteed return, and I won't pretend otherwise.
No charge, no commitment, and no pitch. If it isn't a fit I'll say so on the call.
