About Us

We are Smart Estates

We are Rob Perkins and Ellie Hewitt, and we are the team here at Smart Estates. We have been involved in property for many years, both together and before we met, as designers, consultants to the heritage industry, estate agents, landlords, and investors, and now we are free to devote ourselves exclusively to building our own multi-million-pound property portfolio and helping like-minded fellow investors derive excellent tax-efficient returns on their money.

Like many others, we have found the changes in legislation and taxation over the last few years quite punitive to our buy-to-let portfolio and we concluded we needed to dig deeper into the complexities of property. So we have invested a lot of time and money learning everything we can about property and how to build a profitable and secure portfolio in the safest possible manner.

This has now led us to concentrate on the hospitality end of the property industry, particularly large family holiday lets across the UK, and we are now in a position to seek outside finance from like-minded people who want a decent return on their money but may not have the time or inclination to get as involved.

What we do...

We specialise in large 8 bedroom+ holiday let investments in prime tourist locations on the East Coast, and convert them into 5-star holiday rental properties using our experienced team.

With the time, experience, contacts and educational backing behind them, we are always looking for investors and “Joint-Venture” partners to work with to generate above inflation returns on property investment projects. Does that sound interesting to you?
