Before founding Birchmore Ltd, David Henly built over 17 years of experience across the commercial, international, residential, and PBSA (Purpose-Built Student Accommodation) markets.

This extensive background and network formed the foundation for a company focused on delivering trusted, high-quality property investment opportunities.

Birchmore Ltd was officially founded by David Henly with a clear vision: to unite multiple property sectors under one roof, offering buy-to-let investors access to a diverse portfolio of UK and international opportunities.

The company opened its first office in Antrobus House, Petersfield, beginning with a small team of three. 

From the outset, Birchmore was built on the principles of transparency, client care, and long-term investor success.

Birchmore Ltd became officially registered with The Property Ombudsman (TPO), the UK’s only authority overseeing property transactions.

As Birchmore deals exclusively in property, it operates outside the scope of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates financial products rather than property investments.

This registration reaffirmed Birchmore’s commitment to professionalism and integrity.

To date, Birchmore has never received a single complaint via The Property Ombudsman, a testament to the company’s standards and client-first approach.

In the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic, Birchmore identified a rare opportunity: many experienced professionals in the sector were seeking new challenges after furlough.

The company took this moment to recruit senior-level talent, strengthening its leadership and service offering.

This period also marked the opening of a second office in the Aldershot Enterprise Centre, Hampshire, operating alongside the Petersfield branch to meet increasing investor demand.

After steady expansion and a growing client base, Birchmore celebrated its first £10 million in completed property transactions, marking an important milestone in the company’s success story.

Just six months later, Birchmore doubled that figure, surpassing £20 million in total completed transactions, driven by high demand in the Residential and PBSA sectors.

Following successive growth in the Residential and PBSA markets, Birchmore expanded again, this time to Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

The company opened its third active office in Castle Hill House, High Street, strategically located to serve both investors and high yielding regional markets.

A larger back-office team was recruited to enhance aftersales and sales progression, improving client experience and operational efficiency.

Birchmore reached £30 million in completed transactions, reinforcing the company’s reputation as a trusted and consistent performer in the property investment sector.

By mid-2023, the Aldershot office had outgrown its space, reflecting continued growth across the southern teams.

Listening to staff and anticipating future expansion, Birchmore selected a new, larger premises at Westmead House, Westmead, Farnborough.

The new Farnborough office,  more than three times the size of the previous location,  provided the perfect base for continued growth in a highly commutable, professional environment.

Another major milestone: Birchmore crossed £40 million in total completed property transactions, reflecting consistent delivery and long-term investor confidence.

Following another successful year, Birchmore expanded once again by opening a second office within Castle Hill House, Huntingdon, allowing for a larger team and improved operational capacity.

This milestone reflected Birchmore’s ongoing commitment to growth, stability, and excellence in service delivery.

Birchmore celebrated reaching £50 million in completed property transactions, representing consistent annual growth and a strong track record of success for both the company and its investors.

Now operating from multiple offices and serving investors nationwide and Internationally, Birchmore Ltd remains dedicated to its founding principles of integrity, expertise, and transparency.
With a spotless record with The Property Ombudsman and a proven history of growth, Birchmore continues to set the benchmark for professional property investment services in the UK.
