Property investing can feel overwhelming — full of jargon, conflicting opinions, and choices that can either make you money… or cost you thousands. That’s exactly why we created Frater Property Partners. We’re a family-run property investment company built on real experience, real lessons learned, and a genuine passion for helping people grow their wealth the right way.
Let us introduce ourselves properly.
Meet the Team Behind Frater
We’re James, Jess, and Chris — a family business built on trust, experience and a shared belief that property should be accessible, empowering, and profitable for everyday people.
Chris and Jess are husband and wife, and they bought their first rental property over 10 years ago.
James is Chris’s brother (and Jess’s brother-in-law), and he has spent over 5 years working for some of the biggest companies in the property game, advising clients on buy-to-lets, market trends and long-term investment strategies. He has helped hundreds of clients purchase tens of millions of pounds worth of property in a way that is as hands-off as possible.
And like so many investors starting out, our journey wasn’t perfect.
Where It Started: The Honest Truth
Our first ever buy-to-let wasn’t a dream start. It was mismanaged, we didn’t get the right advice, and we quickly realised how easy it is to make mistakes when you don’t know what you don’t know.
But instead of walking away, we did what most people don’t:
We took the bull by the horns, educated ourselves, and learned exactly how to invest properly. Those early lessons shaped everything we do today. They gave us the experience, empathy, and determination to help other people avoid the same pitfalls — and build something much stronger.
And since then, we’ve built a successful portfolio of our own and helped clients do the same.
What Frater Property Partners Does
Frater Property Partners is a family-led UK property investment company dedicated to helping investors strategically build and scale high-performing Buy-to-Let (BTL) portfolios. Our operational philosophy, built on transparency and the principle of investing alongside our clients, ensures we present only the most reliable, de-risked opportunities in the market.
We offer a complete, end-to-end hands-free investment service that covers every stage of the property investment journey:
Strategic Portfolio Planning & Education
We understand that a long-term property investment strategy is the foundation of success. We provide comprehensive educational resources and strategic planning services to ensure every investment aligns with the client’s financial goals and risk profile.
- Portfolio Forecasting: We work with investors to model realistic portfolio growth scenarios and financial outcomes before any capital is deployed.
- Expert Education: We offer free, unbiased educational content through our YouTube channel and insights, covering complex topics like Buy-to-Let tax changes, leverage, and capital appreciation—ensuring our clients are educated investors.
High-Quality Property Sourcing & Due Diligence
Our core service is sourcing off-market and exclusive BTL deals, primarily focused on the North West property market and specific Tier 3 growth locations (e.g., Huddersfield, Stockport) where affordability and regeneration are driving superior returns.
- Targeted Hotspots: We identify high-growth locations that offer both strong rental yield and sustainable long-term capital appreciation.
- Exclusive Deals: Through collective purchasing power and industry relationships, we secure off-market opportunities and new-build developments that are typically unavailable to general investors.
- De-Risked Opportunities: Every opportunity undergoes rigorous due diligence that checks legal, financial, and structural viability, reflecting our core philosophy: Would we invest our own money in this?
End-to-End Acquisition & Support
We act as the client’s single point of contact, managing the entire acquisition process to provide a seamless, time-poor professional solution.
- Buying Process Progression: Our dedicated team supports the investor through every step of the purchase, from initial reservation to completion, handling common barriers and legal complexities.
- Power Team Network: We save investors time and money by providing access to our pre-vetted network of trusted partners, including specialist Buy-to-Let mortgage brokers, property tax accountants, and conveyancing solicitors. This removes the risk and hassle of building a professional support network from scratch.
- Hands-Free Investment Model: We facilitate fully managed solutions that cover furniture provision and reliable property management, enabling our clients (including Ex-pats and time-poor professionals) to truly benefit from a passive income stream.
Frater Property Partners is positioned as the expert partner for UK property portfolio growth, committed to transparency, education, and securing high-yielding, low-risk BTL assets.
Why We Do What We Do
Quite simply: We love helping people create financial security through smart property investing.
James has spent years in the industry, working with multiple property businesses and advising hundreds of investors. He brings deep knowledge of:
- The best places to buy
- Emerging hotspots
- How to structure your investments
- What returns you can realistically expect
- How to align property with your long-term goals — whether that’s £2000 a month passive income or a full retirement plan
Combined with Jess and Chris’s lived experience as investors, we’re able to offer advice that’s not just theoretical — it’s practical, honest, and proven.
What Makes Us Different
There’s no guesswork. No gimmicks. No hard selling.
We keep our ear to the ground daily — following market trends, government announcements, rental demand shifts, regeneration zones, and the real data that drives performance. We also have strong relationships with reputable new-build developers, giving us access to:
- Exclusive discounts
- High-yield new builds
- Opportunities not available on the open market
We only offer properties we truly believe in — the kind we would (and often do) buy ourselves. If we don’t believe the yield is strong enough, or the capital growth within 5 years looks weak, we simply won’t recommend it.
We back quality, not quantity.
