MMR Properties & Developments Ltd
Mateusz Rys
Property Investment & Management
At MMR Properties, we are your trusted partner in property investment and management. Specialising in Serviced Accommodation (SA), we offer two core services:
- Property Sourcing: We identify and deliver properties that meet our rigorous SA criteria, empowering you to make confident investment decisions.
- Property Assessment: We evaluate your existing property to determine its SA eligibility and provide detailed projections of potential earnings.
While Serviced Accommodation is our flagship focus, we recognise that not every property fits this model. With deep expertise across all property sectors—including HMOs, flips, and Buy-to-Let Refurbishments (BRRs)—we ensure every investment opportunity is maximised. Even if a property doesn’t qualify for SA, we’ll guide you to unlock its potential as a high-value investment.
MMR Properties & Developments Ltd is more than a property manager; we’re your partner in building wealth and creating exceptional spaces.
