Very impressed with Emergence from the outset. Being an expat abroad you're inundated by property companies selling UK property but hard to find a reliable one in my experience, so was glad to find Emergence.
Tom was very helpful throughout the process and made sure everything ran smoothly.

Tom and the team are polite, professional and friendly. I really appreciated the honest support and guidance, which I could tell was backed up by their years of experience.
I highly recommend them!

I followed Emergence Property for a while before completing my first deal. From start to finish the experience has been excellent.
Tom has been responsive, proactive, keeping communication clear and consistent throughout and will give you clear advice without sitting on the fence.
Their local expertise in the North East stands out — they know the right areas, pricing, and rental dynamics and the business model is key to the success.
I always do a separate extremely conservative analysis and the deals always stack up. For anyone building a portfolio remotely, they’re a trusted partner who’ve clearly “been there and done it.”

I have worked with Emergence for quite awhile now and purchased a couple of properties. What can I say!? Tom and his team have been absolutely outstanding with their service! From sourcing the property, refurbishing and letting, they guide you and keep you updated throughout the process. Tom kept me informed about the property refurbs, with pictures and regular updates. Tom is efficient and is always available when you need him. He is great at answering any questions and made me feel at ease with the whole experience especially when a lot of money is involved. I would highly recommend Emergence for a hands off service in property investment.

This is the second property I have acquired through Tom Mills. The service from sourcing the property, through to refurb and letting is faultless. I would highly recommend.

This is my third property purchase with Emergence spanning a 5 year period. As always a professional experience throughout and everything has progressed smoothly at all times. Tom was always on hand to answer any questions I had or provide support wherever required.
It's a pleasure to work with people you can trust and rely on in equal measure.
I look forward to many more projects with Emergence in the future!

I now got my first investment property with him and it was smooth from the beginning. Communication was great, I got regular update throughout.

Thank you, Emergence Property, for a fantastic experience! From sourcing the property to managing the renovation and passing it on to the letting agent, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. I will be in contact soon ready to purchase my next investment with you.

I am extremely pleased with the outstanding service provided by Emergence Property. From sourcing the perfect property to managing the renovation works and coordinating with the letting agent, they handled everything with professionalism and efficiency. The team kept me updated throughout the entire process, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
The renovation was completed to a high standard, and the property was promptly handed over to the letting agent. I highly recommend Emergence Property.

After an inheritance we were uncertain what to invest in. We had been interested in property for a while and were recommended to speak to Tom.
We can’t recommend Emergence highly enough, Tom had a long chat with us going through the options and proposed a plan. At no point did we feel pressured, he was just very helpful.
We decided to take the plunge and have been really pleased with the whole process. Emergence found us a great rental property in a good location, they handled the full refurb (that came in on what we budgeted) and found us a tenant. Now, nearly two years later we are so glad we invested. We have a great tenant and had no nasty surprises re repairs or any other issues.
We can’t recommend Emergence highly enough.

From sourcing the property and throughout the refurb and on to the letting out of the property, Tom and his team have been excellent. The whole process went smoothly with great communication. We especially loved the weekly updates with photos sent from Chloe to see how the project was progressing. Living overseas, we needed someone to deal with all aspects of the investment and Tom did just that! We highly recommend Tom and the Emergence team – thank you!

Reply from Whittaker Property Group
As I am based overseas, having a team on the ground to manage the end-to-end process of a buy-to-let refurb was of paramount importance. The team at Emergence were honestly amazing in keep me abreast of the project progress, quality control, site management and also sharing their expertise on crucial decisions. I will definitely be back!! Thank you, Tom and the Emergence team.

This was our first property investment and I can recommend Tom and his team highly. From start to finish the process was seamless and through the process it has introduced us to some great contacts which will help us going forward.

Reply from Whittaker Property Group
If I could sum up the experience in two words it would be stress free. This is what I was looking for, an investment opportunity where I did not need to worry about or deal with a thing, and Tom provided exactly that for me and I'm on track to accumulate 3 properties in just over 6 months because of the speed Tom provided. Very grateful!

I met Tom when he was doing an online seminar during covid. The presentation was clear and informative. So when lockdown eased I booked in an investors day to go meet him and the team, they took us around a few projects they had on and discussed how they could work with me to achieve my financial goals. After sitting down and creating a plan we got working on out first project in Northumberland. Being a distance away as I live in Manchester was never an issue, I was updated each week on the progress with a phone call/text messages and photos showing the quality work that had been done.
The project is now complete and on the market ready to rent out. It's a lovely home ready for someone to move into.
Really enjoyed working Tom and the team, when the refinance completes we will definitely using the funds for another project with Emergence.
