Back in 1996 and the early days of buy-to-let, sales manager Dave Everett decided to take the plunge and invest in property. Seeking the advice of Lawsons and then opting for their fully managed service, his has been a real success story.

With property price increases, Dave (55) and wife Wendy were able to release the equity growth in the first house, giving them the deposit for the next purchase. Ten properties and ten years later, they have amassed sufficient wealth to head off to warmer climes and a slower pace of life.

“The most amazing thing is that aside from having made each of the purchase decisions along the way, I’ve had very little to do with it” says Dave. “Lawsons gave me all the investment advice, found the right tenants, guaranteed and collected the rent and paid me once a month for their trouble!”
In addition to the monthly income, the property price increases mean that their equity has grown exponentially giving returns that you just couldn’t get elsewhere. Having recently completed on their dream villa in Spain, Dave and Wendy are now down-sizing their portfolio and looking forward to a more leisurely lifestyle.

“I always wanted to retire early and just enjoy life with no mortgage worries and no concerns about income. By making the right investment decisions, buy-to-let has been a self funding scheme for us and is allowing us to live the dream” Dave added. “Lawsons have been crucial in this equation and I genuinely wish everybody else making these decisions the same success that we’ve had.”
