Northern Property Partners Avis 

I have worked with NPP to help expand my portfolio without the usual headache that comes with a property purchase! At times, I have forgotten I am purchasing simply because I don’t have to do anything which for me has been ideal as I am also buying other properties more local to me and I can be hands on with them whilst NPP have done their bit allowing me to grow my portfolio faster.
I have also been able to say to them what sort of property I am looking for in order for them to help find further properties for me as I would be happy to work with them again.
It has certainly taken the stress out of purchasing property!

I've had a great experience working with Abbie and the team at NPP. Abbie kept me updated throughout the sales progression process and was always on hand to answer any questions, helping everything move along smoothly.

A big thank you to the NPP Sales Team as well for finding me a fantastic investment property, which is now fully tenanted. The whole process has been straightforward and professionally managed from start to finish.

The service and results have given me the confidence to continue investing with NPP, and I'm now in the process of purchasing my third property with them.

I'd happily recommend NPP to anyone looking for a professional and reliable property investment company.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES deal with this company. I
fell for their marketing after following for a while on social media. Please do not lose your hard earnt savings!

I was robbed of £6,500+VAT by NPP. I am now aware the average sourcing agent in the NE & NW charges half this. Please be warned they are so far removed from their claim 'an end-to-end service with every stage of the journey handled by our experienced in-house team – from sourcing and acquisition through to refurbishment, letting and management. The result is a hands-off investment experience'

The property was sold to me in their sales leaflet and by Grant verbally as secured at £8,000
under market value. This turns out to be completely untrue and deliberately mis- leading. The
property had been advertised at the same price in 2024 and couldn’t / didn’t sell.

Their sales / promotional leaflets, and Grant vehemently, sold Burnley as having strong rental
yields and growing appeal among tenants. I have since found this to be completely untrue. The
rental Agent E&M Properties and my Surveyor confirm the market has been weak and saturated for over 12 months, with no sign of improvement.

The property was sold as fully tenanted, it wasn't and a second room became vacant during the 7 month debacle, before I pulled out. I asked on 3 occasions in writing for confirmation the property was full tenanted and never received a reply from Abbie. Both rooms remain empty to this day, over 6 months later!! Average voids for a HMOs are 5-15%!!

The property and investment was proposed to me as a fully tenanted turn-key investment in a
good state of repair. In actual fact, the survey I commissioned showed the property had numerous problems and was in a poor state of
repair. The sale’s leaflet photos were deliberately mis-leading and completely un-representative
of the state of the property.

Their ROI suggestion for each property is complete fantasy. The property I dealt with was likely £10-15K overpriced and because half the rooms are empty and un-rentable it's likely a purchaser would struggle to break even each month. That is not a hands-off investment.

Their service is dreadful, they manage nothing and leave you to chase them as well as your solicitors.

NPP have an answer for everything, but will admit zero liability. They will try to justify all this with the market is outside their control, or this is a characteristic of investment stock and is not necessarily reflective of market value.

They have refused any refund and I am now going to take them through the small claims court.

PS. avoid 89 Nairne Street, Burnley

Please use anyone other than this company!!! Don't pay any sourcing agent more than 50% upfront with the remainder on property purchase.

NPP have been fantastic to work with from start to finish. I find the whole team very knowledgeable and approachable and they're brilliant at finding deals that other companies cant. Highly recommend!

I've met with Naomi Tilsley a few times at a few different properties in the Barnsley area.

I am an estate agent and she is always a pleasure to deal with. Friendly and professional when I have dealt with her over the phone and in person. Hopefully we continue to deal with each other in the future!

I’ve recently worked with Meg at NPP and couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. She approached me about one property, which quickly turned into three. I was looking to sell quickly and she made a straightforward, fair offer that worked perfectly for me.

Throughout the process, Meg was clear and professional, and everything was handled efficiently and without any hassle. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and would highly recommend speaking with her to anyone considering selling.

Meg was an absolute star from start to finish and Sian helped progress my BTL deal efficiently. Cannot recommend them and NPP highly enough.

Worked with NPP now for over 5 years. Georgia and the team go above and beyond to assist with all questions / queries. Hoping to complete on my 4th property through them in December and looking to purchase many more!

I work alongside Georgia and the team at NPP. They are an excellent bunch of people who really do work hard for their clients. Ensuring sound investments with a smooth process. One thing that impresses me most is the relentless pressure that they put on solicitors to get things completed. Something that often needs to happen. Great work guys and girls!

Dealt with Grant who was unbelievably helpful and helped me secure my first BTL as a first time investor. Sian from sales progression was also a fantastic help in this process too!

NPP were fantastic from our very first call right through to sourcing a deal that suited us perfectly. Georgia, Amber, and Ellie provided an excellent end-to-end service. When an issue cropped up, Georgia and Amber kept us regularly updated and went above and beyond to make things right. Truly great customer service, we couldn’t be happier with the support we received.

Really happy with the service, Amber is efficient and easy to work with would defo recommend this company,

Thanks

A great company to work with, Meg is a true asset to the company, amazing service from start to finish.

Absolute pleasure working with Meg, always responsive and helpful and we are delighted to work alongside you! Would highly recommend Meg and team at Northern Property Partners.

Purchased 3 great properties via NPP which all went through smoothly - Comms were great.

External quotations for works were expensive so maybe shop around for those.

NPP have helped me purchase multiple properties and are great for a completely hands off experience. From finding the property to doing a refurbishment including the interior design and furniture. They have also introduced me to great mortgage brokers and property management agents for the properties.

They are very responsive and helpful at all stages.

5* Customer service. Very professional end to end and genuinely have thought of everything.

NPP are a prime example of getting exactly what you pay for.

Communication throughout the process was fantastic. Very friendly and helpfull. Anytime I had any questions/ queries the team got back to me straight away. Being new to investing in property and working full time they did all the heavy lifting.

My experience with NPP has been mixed—there were some positives, but also several areas of concern.

It started with an introductory call with James, who explained the advantages of becoming a Platinum member. On the second call, after we decided to proceed, I felt that James was more focused on getting me to sign the contract and transfer the fee rather than answering my questions. I was pressured into signing the contract during the video call, without sufficient time to read it properly. Immediately afterward, I transferred the funds—around £8,000—during that same call.

Once the contract was signed, James began sourcing properties for me. The first 2 options I was shown were quite run-down, with visible damp and other issues. After reading the contract more carefully post-signing, I discovered that NPP would only offer up to three properties, and if I rejected all three, I could lose my fee. That added a lot of pressure to accept one. Eventually, he found a third property in Barnsley that looked good visually, so we decided to proceed.

We instructed the solicitor and broker that NPP recommended. The lender later rejected the mortgage, requesting a specialist surveyor’s report due to damp issues that weren’t apparent in the photos. This was extremely frustrating—especially considering the price I paid. I expected their "expertise" to filter out unsuitable properties.

When I raised this with James, he said I would need to cover the cost of the specialist report. At that point, I would have pulled out, but the contract essentially forced me to move forward or lose the fee. I paid for the report, which confirmed significant damp problems. James acknowledged the issues and offered me a second property that was in much better condition, which I appreciated.

However, when applying for a mortgage on the second property, the lender again rejected it because it was a private sale. The broker found another lender, but this time the valuation came in £10,000 below the asking price, as they considered it a 3-bed instead of a 4-bed (one of the bedrooms was too small to count). This was disappointing, especially since the NPP deal sheet listed it as a 4-bed with an “instant equity” of £5,000. Again, I felt stuck due to the contract, so I negotiated with the seller and paid an additional £5,000 myself.

Even then, when I wanted to conduct a house report for peace of mind, NPP pushed back hard—likely due to pressure to close the deal. I insisted, and they had to wait for the report to be completed.

Now for the positives:

James and Bryony did respond to problems and offered me a second property when they could have simply kept the fee.

NPP Developments was genuinely good. I made some changes to the property (new bath taps, shower screen, washing machine, etc.). Their costs were fair and the quality of work was solid.

In the end, I secured a good property in Leeds. It’s rented out for £1,000/month (instead of the £1,100 stated in the deal sheet), but I’m still happy with the purchase and I believe in the future this property can increase price easily.

Conclusion:
While I appreciate the effort James and Bryony put in to help me move forward, the overall process felt rushed and overly pressured—especially around the contract and property conditions. I hope NPP improves their due diligence and client support to ensure a more transparent and less stressful experience in the future.

A good all round experience with a team who are clearly knowledgable and well drilled.

We will be using them again.
Special thanks to Bryony for keeping on top of everything.
