Why WJL

Most people want the returns property offers. Few have the time to chase them.

Sourcing the right deal, running the numbers, managing a refurbishment, finding tenants, knowing when to sell — it's a full-time job, and an expensive one to get wrong.

WJL Property does it for you. With 20+ years in Bath & the South West and design, build and investment under one roof, we turn capital into property that performs — and stay your single point of contact the whole way through.

What we do

Everything from first viewing to final sale

Four services that cover the whole investment journey — take all of it, or just the part you need.

01

Investment Consultancy & Sourcing

We learn your goals, then find and appraise the right opportunities — on and off market — with full due diligence, so you buy well from day one.

02

Acquisition, Design & Refurbishment

Our in-house design and build expertise is the edge. We acquire, refurbish and reposition property to lift both yield and capital value.

03

Asset & Lettings Management

Hands-off ownership. We tenant, manage and run your property — including serviced accommodation — so the investment performs without the day-to-day.

04

Asset Liquidation & Disposal

Releasing capital or restructuring a portfolio? We handle sale, disposal and exit strategy to secure the best result at the right time.

1-to-1 Property Investment Programme

A six-module mentoring programme for first-time investors who want to learn to do it themselves — covering sourcing, goal planning and market strategy, guided personally by Will.

FAQs

Questions investors ask

What does WJL Property do?

WJL Property is a property investment consultancy in Bath. We source, refurbish, manage and sell investment property on behalf of investors — handling the whole process so you can earn returns from property without doing the legwork yourself.

Who is WJL Property for?

We work with two kinds of investor: experienced landlords growing a portfolio, and people who want the returns property offers but lack the time, contacts or know-how to do it themselves. Will Long is your single point of contact throughout.

What areas does WJL Property cover?

We focus on Bath and the wider South West of England — including Bristol, Bradford-on-Avon and the surrounding towns — a market we have worked in for more than 20 years.

How much money do I need to start investing in property?

There is no fixed minimum — it depends on your goals and strategy, which we map out together in a free initial consultation. Our projects have ranged from sub-£130k serviced-accommodation flats to developments worth over £500k.

What returns can I expect on a property investment?

Returns vary by project and market conditions, and past performance is not a guarantee of future results. As a guide, our completed case studies include gross yields up to 19% and capital uplift up to 85% on a single refurbishment. We model realistic figures for your budget before you commit.

How is WJL Property different from an estate agent?

An estate agent sells you a property and steps away. WJL combines investment consultancy with an in-house design and build team, so we source, appraise, buy, refurbish, let and — when the time is right — sell, adding value at every stage rather than just brokering a deal.

Can WJL Property manage the property after I buy it?

Yes. We offer hands-off asset and lettings management, including serviced accommodation, so your investment performs without you having to handle tenants or day-to-day issues.

Does WJL Property help with selling or exiting an investment?

Yes — asset liquidation and disposal is one of our core services. We plan the exit strategy, manage the sale, and can restructure a portfolio to release capital at the right time.

What is the 1-to-1 Property Investment Programme?

It is a six-module mentoring programme for first-time investors who want to learn to invest themselves, covering deal sourcing, goal planning and market strategy, guided personally by Will Long.
