Smart Property Investment with Purpose and Impact
Property investment was never just about finances for us - it was about flexibility, security, and smart choices.
Before buying our own home, we invested in two student HMOs in Huddersfield, spotting an opportunity in the more affordable Northern market while renting in the South.
Amid career changes, relocations, and raising two kids, we built a portfolio of nine properties housing 34 tenants. Now based in the Peak District, we focus on high-quality student and residential accommodation in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
For us, Holm Oak is about more than property - it’s about creating homes, making smart investments, and helping others do the same.
At Holm Oak, we believe property should work for everyone - our tenants, our investors, and the communities we invest in.
We are passionate about providing high-quality, well-managed homes that enhance people’s lives, while helping individuals explore smarter ways to grow their savings through property-backed wealth strategies.
Our approach is built on professionalism, transparency, and a long-term commitment to sustainable, values-driven property development—creating homes and investments that stand the test of time.
At Holm Oak, every project is an opportunity to create lasting impact - for our tenants, our investors, and the communities we invest in.
Through thoughtful renovation and commercial-to-residential conversions, we aim to:
At Holm Oak, we focus on transforming underused spaces into high-quality, modern homes that meet real housing needs.
We have been growing our student HMO portfolio since 2009, and today we own and manage six high-quality HMOsin Newcastle-under-Lyme, serving the student community at Keele University.
Why Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Keele University, located just three miles away, is a top-ranked institution with over 12,500 students—yet there are no plans for additional on-campus housing. With a thriving town centre and Purple Flag-accredited nightlife, Newcastle-under-Lyme remains the preferred off-campus accommodation hub, creating strong rental demand and a growing need for well-managed student housing.
At Holm Oak, we’re committed to long-term growth and impact. As the property market evolves, we continue to seek opportunities to revitalise underused buildings, diversify income streams, and create well-designed, sustainable homes that meet changing housing needs.
