Littleboy Developments was founded by David Littleboy who is, himself, a property investor. He first became involved in the sector when he bought and refurbished a series of historic properties in his native Yorkshire. Some he sold on; others he kept and still owns as income-generating investments.
As a result of the scheme’s success, he went on to build a strong presence in the buy-to-let market. Years of experience have given him a clear, first-hand insight into the needs and priorities of modern property investors. Consequently, Littleboy Developments now focuses on providing investment properties that meet a number of vital criteria:
Set in locations with proven rental demand
Property types and sizes that meet local market needs
Designs that are attractive and highly marketable
Clearly-evidenced potential for sustained capital growth
Prices that enable investors to make reliably high yields
Zero risk of lost deposits

Support Services
Matching investors with suitable opportunities is a vital element of our work. Consequently, our support services will always be tailored to the needs and circumstances of individual investors. However, they will typically fall into a number of broad categories, as shown below.
Property Consultancy
As experienced investors, we’re well placed to help you develop an effective property investment strategy. We’ll provide advice, research and any information that you need. We can support you whether you’re considering the market for the first time or whether you’re an ‘old hand’ looking to refine, build or restructure your portfolio. Whatever your circumstances, we’ll help you to decide on an action plan that suits your personal priorities.
Professional Introductions
and Recommendations
We have well-established links with independent legal and financial experts that have routinely proven their value to our investor clients.
To help with all contractual and conveyancing matters, we’ll be happy to introduce you to a trusted legal firm. It has a team that specialises in supporting buy-to-let investors, and its staff have a detailed understanding of all our developments. Consequently, they are perfectly placed to offer you a service that is fast, focused and efficient.
Similarly, we work regularly with a small selection of independent financial advisors and brokers. Where necessary, they will help you to secure appropriate buy-to-let mortgage deals on the best possible terms.
Letting Support
Our sister company, Littleboy Estates, specialises in property letting, management and maintenance. It provides a full turnkey service that seeks to maximise your rental revenues and ensure full regulatory compliance. It’s a great choice if you don’t want to have to handle routine lettings tasks yourself. It leaves you with more time free to spend on leisure, work and other priorities.
Identifying Buy-to-Let Opportunities
Some of the opportunities that we present to investors will be the work of developers with whom we have a long, well-proven working relationship. We may consider working with a new developer if the opportunity merits it. However, before we announce any new project to our clients, we will:
Thoroughly evaluate the property and local market conditions
Verify the credentials, track record and financial standing of the developer
Ensure that the developer agrees to our ‘all deposits held in escrow’ policy
Prepare information / literature for our investor clients
Information and Portfolio Building
Our support for investors does not end when we make the first sale. Where required, we will continue to support you – for example, by:
Providing construction updates to keep you apprised of progress on site
Providing information, research and advice to support further purchases and portfolio-building
