So who am I and how come I think I can help you...?
My name is Hanna Hunter. Some of my friends call me Hanna "House" Hunter! I think that's because I know a thing or two about how to solve property related issues and challenges, whether that's any of the following and most property things in between... 1. * > Vacant mixed use: commercial on ground floor with residential uppers - not shopping centre malls. 2. * > Standalone office block 3. * > Hot food takeaways shops (with uppers) 4. * > Industrial unit (max 500 Sq M) - Eg. old MOT centre - not on an industrial estate. Will also look at and consider any of the following: * > Derelict or dilapidated garages * > Vacant or disused plot of land * > A guesthouse/B&B * > A care or nursing home * > A block of flats * > An old (closed) pub ... in your neighbourhood
Send me a message, give me a call OR click below to book time in my diary to discuss how we can work together to create a mutually beneficial relationship.

Before I entered the world of property, I used to be a Programme Manager. I delivered several multi-million pound IT projects and programmes for a number of FTSE 100 companies managing a diverse range of local and international multi-disciplinary teams.
How I got here...
One day I had an epiphany. It was time to make a change in my life and I started by educating myself in various property investment strategies.
In October 2018, the government launched a Policy paper titled,
"Our Plan for the high street: Budget 2018 brief".
Having read this document I started educating myself on how to invest in local town centres.
This made me realise the opportunity. I starting to hear stories in the community about the death of the high street and I also realised that there were many retailers disappearing. My earliest recollection of this was C&A!
You too may remember C&A or even Woolworths. I remember going to Woolies on a Saturday many moons ago for everything from CDs, batteries to sweets to toys and more.
Today, the major supermarkets and the internet have taken over and Woolworths disappeared a few years ago.
Then there was Blockbusters, the place where we used to pick up a VHS video or two on a Friday night, order and collect Pizza and settle down in our house to "Film-night Friday". You will have noticed that although Blockbuster has disappeared, the pizza places and many like it are still here and thriving.
Fast forward 2019, the high street is going through a readjustment and a realignment which will ultimately lead to a positive metamorphosis.

But wait, Hanna!"
"the high street is dead!"
We say, the high street is simply evolving. The shopping (or retail) experience is maturing. Just as a child moves from baby to toddler to teen and on to adulthood, the market place, as we know it, is simply changing.
Amazon has disrupted the once solid frontier of UK retail.
Those who didn’t change have long left, Woolworths, BHS, Blockbuster, HMV, Toys R Us and many more. According to Retail Research, in 2018 alone 43 medium or large retail businesses went bust. This included 2,594 stores affecting 46,014 employees. That's a lot of stores and people affected by the new landscape of retail.
Today we see the emergence of the new high street, mainly made up of Amazon proof businesses.
It’s change or die!
If you’re feeling the pain from an empty commercial building or shop, high insurance and even higher business rates or whether you’re looking to off load your commercial portfolio, retiring or just fed up of dealing with tenants, your “property trash”, could be someone else’s “treasure”.
Whether you're high street includes Grocery, Fashion, General Merchandise, Health/Beauty, Entertainment, Home & DIY and Electrical stores, I look forward to exploring with you, how we can change the narrative.
