About
From one Glasgow flat to four disciplines.
Every strategy we offer is one we learned by doing it with our own money first.
How we got here
KVRE started in Glasgow in 2011 with a single buy-to-let. Fifteen years later the portfolio runs to 92 units across Scotland, London, the Midlands and the North West — single-lets, two blocks of flats and six-unit HMO conversions.
We bought before we sourced, converted before we project-managed, and managed our own stock before we took on anyone else's. That order matters: every service we sell is one we have run at our own risk first.
The blocks of flats were a step up in scale — twenty flats taken on across two transactions rather than one unit at a time, and bought at auction, where the contract binds the moment the hammer falls and completion follows within weeks. Due diligence, funding and legals all have to be finished before the lot is called, because there is no renegotiating afterwards.
How we work
Deals are underwritten against the same criteria we apply to our own purchases. If we wouldn't buy it, we don't pass it on.
Projects are managed end to end — architect, builder, licensing, letting and refinance — with weekly updates and a spend tracker against plan. You see the same numbers we do.
Investors own their assets outright. No joint venture, no equity share, unless that is specifically what you came for.
Milestones
First Glasgow buy-to-let. The start of a Scottish single-let portfolio that still forms the core of the business.
Portfolio reaches 41 units across Scotland, managed in-house across Glasgow, Renfrew, Paisley and Lanarkshire.
Expanded into London, taking on established HMOs under guaranteed-rent agreements and running them end to end.
Began partnering with investors on joint ventures — blocks of flats, HMO developments and commercial-to-residential.
First block of flats bought at auction in joint venture — twelve self-contained flats acquired freehold and fully let, in a single transaction.
A second block secured at auction. Portfolio reaches £10m across 92 units.
