Sally Sutton started her buy-to-let career at a time when many landlords were ending theirs.
After a brief dabble with property investment in 2014, Sally and her husband Nick decided to try again in 2024 and this time, they went all in.
They sold the family home to raise their start-up capital and moved into a rented property in Stockport, Greater Manchester, with their eight-year-old daughter Jaime. It is a “sacrifice” says Sally, while they build the business.

Using a limited company, rather than purchasing in their own names, Sally and Nick bought their first buy-to-let property, a two-bedroom terraced house which they converted into a three-bed house in multiple occupation (HMO).
