Who are we

Founded in 2017, NW Living was created to build financial independence for our family through property. We transform tired properties into high-quality homes and high-yielding investments.

At NW Living, we specialise in creating high-end homes and profitable investment opportunities. We’ve built a £4M+ portfolio, focused on professional HMOs and supported living. Our expertise spans from single-unit flips to larger-scale commercial-to-residential conversions, always with a strong focus on quality and long-term sustainability.
