AND... Overseas Investor Case Study - Gert Driesen

Our inspirational case study this month comes from Gert Driesen, a Dutch entrepreneur, property investor, and graduate of the Master of Real Estate programme at TIAS Business School.

Gert's journey into UK property started in 2020 after attending the Grand Property Experience, where the UK stood out due to its professionalism and potential for remote investing. Initially hesitant to invest in high-ticket coaching, Gert took initiative by rallying a small group of like-minded Dutch investors to explore the Welsh market, drawn by its low entry prices. While early partnerships didn’t materialise, he took the leap on his own—setting up a UK Ltd and buying his first property in Wales during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Like many remote investors, Gert encountered challenges: cultural differences with contractors, sourcing risks, and project setbacks. Yet, despite these early difficulties—including having to remove a builder mid-project—he gained hands-on experience and resilience.

After taking a step back from UK investing, a visit to a pin meeting in Amsterdam reignited his passion. Now, as a participant on Simon Zutshi's Property Mastermind Programme he’s combining academic knowledge from his Master’s with real-world experience. His focus is on high-end HMOs, with a clear intention to avoid past mistakes by building a strong local network and embracing the cultural nuances of working in the UK property sector.

Gert is a great example of persistence, learning through doing, and how setbacks can lay the groundwork for more strategic and successful investing.

We also have our two constant speakers, who are present at every Global pin Meeting for their knowledge of expertise, networking and questions: 

Overseas Finance - Bruce Mainwaring

As foreign nationals or ex-pats it’s important that you have your finance in place and that you put yourself in the position that you are the “preferred buyer”. It’s even more important that you receive the correct advice, help and support from a trusted and reputable finance firm. Meet Bruce Mainwaring our Global pin Buy to Let mortgage specialist online each month for a finance update to keep you updated with the knowledge that you need to know.

AND... UK Property Market - Chris Dowty

It’s important to know your market. Meet Chris Dowty our Global pin resident UK Property Expert online each month for a UK Property Market update. Each month he will share his knowledge to make sure that you are armed with the most up to date information. He will also show how you can easily get access to off market investment properties and make sure that you go away with the tools that you need to execute and take action in your next steps on your own UK property journey.
