Gold Leaf Property Investments

GLPI was formed by Michael Ewer in 2000. We specialise in improving the value of property - whether that be through improving lease terms and efficient management, or redevelopment and refurbishment. Our main focus is on commercial property, but our portfolio is a mix of retail, office, industrial and residential. We typically expect to hold properties for no longer than three years. We pride ourselves on having an established reputation for being straightforward in our dealings.

GLPI core strategy has remained the same throughout the 12 years that we have been trading, and that is to seek out and exploit opportunities in the property market that are unnoticed by others.

The company has its roots in short term office space, and a small part of our portfolio still reflects that (further information can be found at our partner web site, Ultra Flexible Office Lettings). During the early 2000s, we purchased several mixed retail/office properties and converted the open plan office space into small, standalone office suites that were subsequently let on short term, all-inclusive licences.

This avenue proved to be highly successful, but ultimately it was not what we wanted to do. Moving forwards from an established base, we began to broaden our horizons. From 2002 to 2006 we established a more diverse investment strategy, centring on development and improvement potential.
