Salford-based estate agency Mr Investa, which specalises in buy-to-let property, has commemorated its first year in business with the launch of its innovative new virtual reality 1-1 consultation service.

Mr Investa, which aims to help landlords find tenants as well as manage properties for them, has sold more than £5m worth of property nationwide since launching last year.

Mr Investa founder Ryan Hughes commented: “Despite founding the company during the pandemic, we have surpassed our initial projections and already have an enviable and established client base.

“Having created huge waves in the buy-to-let market our new technology allows our clients – from footballers and TV personalities to landlords across the country – to view a dozen properties in the comfort of their own home or office in minutes without having to travel and in a world where time and privacy are the most precious commodities.

“Our properties are all completed and tenanted generating immediate income for the new landlords whilst still producing an income for the seller during the sales process presenting unique opportunities for our clients.

“No one else can currently offer the resources that we do. Being based at HOST Salford, Media City, dubbed the fastest growing Digital and Tech hub of Europe, has enabled us to take advantage of the latest technology available and apply it to the property industry.”

Hughes says that his firm plans in the next 12 months to triple the size of its in-house team whilst they continue to grow their social media following the launch of the Mr Investa live streaming channel.

Hughes added: “This sector of the property world is going to change dramatically in the next two years.  We are fiercely ambitious, adopting the latest innovations in PropTech to the benefit of our clients.

“We are creating a new buying and selling experience for buy-to-let landlords and simplifying the process with the aim of becoming the online portal for the buy to let market.”
