My journey from 0 to 40+ properties in less than 5 years...
Before launching Dragon Investments, I spent 18 years in finance across London, Paris, and Singapore.
In the last 4 years, I built a 40+ property portfolio worth millions while working full-time in Singapore - so I know exactly what works for overseas investors.

Working in finance in Singapore
Before launching Dragon Investments, I spent 18 years in finance across London, Paris, and Singapore.
I was working 50+ hour weeks, generating a good income, but I knew I needed to invest.
I knew that the UK property market was great, but it felt impossible - living thousands of miles away on the other side of the world.
investment number 1 - 2022
It all Started With One Property Investment
This was the property that started it all. I leveraged a team of reliable builders, estate agents and finance brokers in the UK to make this investment possible.
now - 2026
I Used Systems To Add 40+ Properties to My Investment Portfolio
Fast forward to now, my investment portfolio is worth more than £6,000,000 and generates a rental income of more than £40,000 every single month.
The number one thing that allowed me to scale so quickly was my investment system. I have managed to build this huge portfolio, without stepping foot in the UK myself.
My Investment Strategy - The BRRR Method
The BRRR Method is a popular property investment strategy used commonly in the UK to grow a portfolio quickly while recycling the same pot of money. It is one of the most trusted and reliable ways to build a portfolio safely.
I used this strategy to add properties to my portfolio while recycling the same pot of cash over and over again.
Buy
Purchase a property below market value, often because it’s run-down, inherited, or needs work.
Investors usually use cash, a bridging loan, or a mortgage to buy it.
Refurbish
Renovate the property to increase its value and rental appeal. This could include adding a new kitchen/bathroom,
painting, flooring, plastering, fixing structural or cosmetic issues.
This refurbishment boosts the property’s market value.
Rent
Once the property is completed, it’s rented out to tenants.
This step provides a monthly income (cash flow) and keeps the property viewed as an income-generating asset, which helps with refinancing.
Refinance
We now ask the bank to revalue the property and refinance it based on its new, higher value.
From this refinance, you withdraw your initial investment (deposit + refurb costs).
In an ideal BRRR deal you get all or most of your money back and still keep the property, tenants, and rental income.
My Investment Area - South Wales, UK
South Wales is one of the most affordable regions in the UK. You can still buy 3-bed houses for £70,000–£90,000, with rental yields of 8–10% and forecasted 27% price growth between 2026–2030.
I was born and raised in South Wales and have built strong local connections in the property industry.
Huge Rental Demand
South Wales attracts a lot of rental demand with big cities like Newport & Cardiff. It also has a direct train to London.
Low House Prices
You can purchase properties in South Wales for as low as £70,000 and add value with refurbishment. Much lower than London or Southern England.
High Yield/ROI
Rental yields of 8-10% are common in South Wales. Property price growth is also forecasted 27% in the next few years.
South Wales vs London
Recent studies show that house prices are expected to increase by 27.6% over the next 5 years in South Wales. The UK average is just 22% and London is extremely low at 13%.

Building my portfolio changed my life...
From 2007 to 2025, I worked in finance roles across London, Paris and Singapore.
In 2022, while based in Singapore, I began investing in UK property to build passive income and a reliable asset base. Managing everything remotely, I built a portfolio of 40+ properties and left my finance career.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know investing abroad can feel daunting - here are the answers to the questions every Singaporean investor asks before they start.
How much capital do I need to start?
Most clients begin with £50,000–£80,000, which comfortably covers the purchase, renovation, and refinance of their first UK property. Once refinanced, much of this capital can be recycled for the next deal. The more capital you have, the faster you can grow your portfolio.
Do I need to travel to the UK?
No. The entire process - from sourcing to letting - is handled for you. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates from our UK team during renovations and handovers.
Can I get a mortgage as a Singapore resident?
Yes. We partner with mortgage brokers who specialise in expat and overseas investor lending. Many of our clients buy with 70–75% LTV mortgages.
How long does the first project take?
Typically 3–6 months from initial consultation to completed refurbishment and tenant move-in. Timelines depend on market conditions and project size.
What returns can I expect?
Our clients typically achieve 8–10% gross rental yields and 30–80% ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) depending on project scope and refinance valuation.
Is my money safe?
Absolutely. All transactions go directly through solicitors and regulated financial channels. You’ll hold legal ownership of the property from day one.
How do you choose investment locations?
We focus on South Wales, one of the UK’s highest-yielding regions. Edward and his team have refined a proven model for sourcing and managing houses that deliver strong returns and capital growth.
What makes Dragon different from other UK sourcers?
Unlike most sourcers, we focus solely on Singaporean investors and offer a full-stack service - sourcing, refurbishment, refinance, and letting - guided by Edward, who’s personally built a 42-property portfolio from Singapore.
Can you manage multiple properties for me?
Yes. Many clients build portfolios of 5–10 properties over time. Once the first property is successfully refinanced, we use released capital to fund the next purchase.
