Making your money work harder in the local market
Exploring property as an investment?
Get trusted advice and tailored strategies
At HMT, we understand that investing in property is
about more than simply buying bricks and mortar —
it’s about building a secure future. Whether you’re
an experienced portfolio landlord or taking your first
steps into buy-to-let, we’ll help you navigate
Cheltenham’s competitive property market with
clarity and confidence.
As a family-run, independent estate agent rooted in
Cheltenham since 1991, we’re uniquely placed to
offer both strategic advice and hands-on
management.
Market Insight
We’ve spent decades working with landlords, investors, and tenants across Cheltenham – from Tivoli’s period charm, to the family-friendly school catchments in Leckhampton, to the university-linked rental zones around St Paul’s. That means you’ll benefit from advice grounded in real, on-the-ground knowledge of where returns are strongest, not just data pulled from a spreadsheet.
Tailored Strategies
Every investor has different priorities — steady yield, capital growth, or a careful balance of both. We’ll help refine your goals and shape a bespoke plan that suits you. From buy-to-let flats to HMOs or student lets, our role is to connect you with the right opportunities that deliver the returns you’re aiming for.
Full Support
We don’t just help you buy the right property – we support you at every stage after the purchase too. Our lettings and management service covers valuations, compliance, marketing, tenant sourcing, rent collection, and maintenance. As your portfolio grows, we adapt our support to keep it efficient, profitable, and stress-free.
Building for the Long Term
Property investment is about more than the next purchase – it’s about creating a sustainable, profitable portfolio that continues to deliver over time. At HMT, we take the time to understand not just your immediate objectives but also your wider financial goals. Whether you’re planning for retirement income, building a nest egg for family, or creating a safety net for the future, we’ll help you.
