This is OUR Story
Started by Accident. Now the UK's Largest Property Trainer
How it Started
Progressive was largely an accident: the founders only had intentions to build their own property portfolio. But once they achieved income and freedom in their 20s, people kept asking for their strategies and secrets. Fast forward to now and Progressive is the UK's largest, yet still most personal property education company.
Our Story
Progressive was built the hard way. Twenty years, a recession, and a full market cycle that took plenty of others down with it. What started as a company to buy and hold property for the founders became a property sourcing business as demand grew and their track record spoke for itself. Progressive has now sourced almost 1,000 properties for the founders and investors.
Progressive Innovated
Then Progressive innovated the education space. First came the UK's bestselling property book, opening property up to the masses. Now it's 800 training days a year across multiple income streams, many run from the Progressive HQ in Peterborough that the founders own outright.
From Property Ownership to Progressive Lets
From Property Ownership to Progressive Lets
Once the founders had sourced around 300 properties, Progressive Lets was formed in 2012, as a byproduct of owning and managing so many properties. Progressive Lets now manages nearly 1,000 properties, has a boutique sourcing arm, and manages many serviced accommodation and multi-let properties too; living the Progressive values of innovative and personal.
Property as a Mindset: The Birth of Progressive Success
Property as a Mindset: The Birth of Progressive Success
Property is not just a strategy, but a lifestyle. It is not just a skillset, but a mindset. Rob Moore began to specialise in the personal development side of property as Mark continued heading up their acquisitions. Mark is currently developing around 200 units for their personal portfolio, and Progressive bought a struggling personal development business in 2009, which they turned around, renamed “Unlimited Success” and grew into an 8 figure business by 2016. This company has now merged into the Progressive brand, now known as “Progressive Success”.

Our Vision & Values
We believe life is best lived as a progressive journey towards knowing, making and giving more. Empowering the greatness already within everyone. Making money whilst making a difference.
Progressive
We seek to continually move forward, improve, take on feedback and educate ourselves and the community for multiple streams of property income.
Innovative
We constantly strive for development. We research, test and then teach the most innovative strategies, being the first in the space. We blaze the trail.
Personal
Despite our ever growing reach, we commit to being open, accessible and personally involved in the (Progressive) property community. We care.
We are Progressive
We help investors across the planet build freedom, choice and profit, through property done properly. Here's what most people get wrong when picking who to learn from: they focus on the strategy first. But the strategy only works if the people teaching it actually care whether you win.
Most companies in this industry are a machine. You're a name in a funnel, processed, upsold, forgotten. We built Progressive to be the opposite of that, on purpose.
We're a community of investors who show up for each other. Support when you're stuck. Accountability when you need pushing. A reputation, built over 20 years, for genuinely giving a damn about the people inside it.
That's not a tagline. It's why our investors stay for years, not months.
If you want to be processed, there are plenty of options. If you want to become a portfolio-building investor surrounded by people who are already doing it, and who want you to do it too, you're in the right place. Welcome to Progressive. You're one of us now.

Why Progressive?
Where else can you go to a bank, get a loan for most of the value of a property, go to a JV partner for the deposit and refurb, go to a tenant to pay your mortgage and JV partner costs, and generate passive cashflow with other people paying all your 'debt?'
And where else can you create ‘good debt’ to invest, and have the government eat away at that good debt over time through inflation, yet the value of your property doubles every 7-10 years?
Certainly not in the stock market. Or in the bank. Or under the mattress.
Since 1952, according to the Halifax house price data, has doubled in value every 7-10 years, even taking into account major crashes.
In fact, since 1088 post Doomsday book, when Land prices were first tracked, land and property has doubled every 10 years at worst. That’s almost 1000 years of historic evidence.
Every single person in the Rich List: Times, Forbes, owns property. Many of them are in fact full time or part time investors
