BLACK CAT PRINCIPALS

Martin Barratt (Managing Director) Janine Tijou (Property Director)

Martin Barratt (Managing Director) and Janine Tijou (Property Director) have many years experience working in the property and planning industry, helping to showcase future built environments. Since 1999 they have worked with the UKs largest planning consultancies, developers, land and property buyers and sellers and also with a host of of smaller independent developers and investors throughout the UK.

Black Cat brings that combined expertise to the table to help sellers explore options beyond the traditional sale, while sourcing and structuring well-considered opportunities for investors (regardless of portfolio size). We focus on value-creation, renovations/refurbs, and creative deal structuring.

Step 2

Receive Introduced Opportunities

Step 3

Review, Inspect and Proceed

If an opportunity is of interest within our sourcing network then investors can carry out their own financial and legal due diligence prior to proceeding with the purchase.

The Black Cat Ethos

We believe successful property investing starts with disciplined purchasing. The most resilient portfolios are built by buying well, focusing on strong locations, and aligning every acquisition with a clear long-term strategy. At Black Cat, we carefully identify, select and package opportunities where the numbers, the location and the value-creation potential work together, so that investors can make informed decisions with confidence.

Our sourcing activity focuses primarily on Wolverhampton, Birmingham and Coventry where the location, price and value-creation potential all align. That typically means we look at refurb/resell and also rental properties in strong performing existing areas (in terms of yield, risk and ROI) but also in areas that are undergoing significant urban redevelopment and transformation as part of local area planning initiatives.

Black Cat Delivers Bespoke, Curated Opportunities

Based On What Matters To You

Review opportunities, arrange viewings and carry out your own due diligence before deciding whether the investment aligns with your strategy.

The Old Way

  • General Agents:  Compete with hundreds of other investors for 'average' on-market mass deals.

  • Auctions: Get caught up in a bidding war, paying more than you need to and losing out on valuable equity. Auction purchases often require rapid commitments before investors have time to evaluate the property fully.

The Black Cat Way

  • Specialist Introducers: Targeted opportunities tailored to your specific requirements as advised by you

  • Properly Packaged: Comprehensive overview of each opportunity to assist you in helping make an informed decision on whether it is right for you.
