Most NHS staff have savings sitting in a pension, an ISA, or the bank, quietly doing less than they should. We find, check, and look after buy-to-let properties in Burton and Derby so healthcare professionals anywhere in the UK can own one, earn from it every month, and never take a single call from a tenant.
A gift to get your property journey started on the right track.

Your NHS pension is locked up and you can't touch it for years, so it can't help with anything now
Cash in a savings account barely keeps up with the weekly shop, let alone inflation
Stocks and shares ISAs go up, go down, and leave you second-guessing every news headline
Helen's been a paramedic for nearly ten years. She knows 48-hour weeks, rotational shifts, and being "just a number on a sheet" to people who were supposed to be on her side. Gareth's worked across IT, teaching, and logistics, and has watched the same ceiling from the other side of the NHS fence.
Between us, we've heard every reason people give for not getting into property, and worked through them.
So we built Kendo Property. We find the property. We check the numbers. We arrange the purchase, the tenant, and the management.
You own the asset, see the income come in every month, and spend zero weekends learning about buy-to-let. All we ask for is the decision.

Helen and Gareth. Helen's been a paramedic for ten years. Gareth's spent his career across IT, teaching, and logistics, with a long-standing interest in property from both sides of the family. Between us, we've lived the 48-hour weeks, the injuries refused as "not work-related," and the quiet dread of wondering whether the mortgage would still get paid.
We decided we didn't want to be numbers on anyone else's sheet for the rest of our working lives.
We started Kendo Property because we knew colleagues, friends, and family in the same spot. Hardworking NHS staff with money set aside, no time to learn investing, and no real plan beyond "the pension, I suppose." We wanted to build a way for people like them to own property without having to run it.
Everything we do runs on being straightforward. You see the numbers. You get the real picture, not the sales version. If a deal isn't right for you, we'll tell you.
Helen: 10 years on the frontline as an NHS paramedic
Gareth: Background across IT, teaching, and logistics
Now we are both running Kendo's operations and investor communications
Operating across Burton, Derby, and the wider Midlands, where buy-to-let still produces sensible monthly returns

A typical buy-to-let deal in our area comes in at roughly £65k. On the call, we'll walk through the exact figures for your situation so you know what you'd be putting in and what you'd expect coming back.
Property prices wobble, like everything else. The difference is, property pays you rent every month whether prices are up, down, or flat, and over any 10-year stretch in recent UK history the average has moved up. Stocks and shares can halve overnight. A house keeps being a house, and the tenant keeps paying the rent.
You won't be. Every property we set up is managed by a letting agent we've vetted. Tenants never get your number. Boiler calls go to them, not you.
That's the right question to ask, and it's the one we ask ourselves on every deal. We don't take on a property for an investor unless the numbers work at today's rates, today's rents, and with a sensible allowance for things going wrong. If a deal doesn't pass that test, we don't present it.
