INNOVA PROPERTY

What INNOVA PROPERTY does

Innova Property is a Bristol-based, founder-led property development and investment company established in 2018 by Jake Colwill and Lucy Davies. The company acquires residential and commercial properties, typically below market value, and renovates, converts, or repurposes them into high-quality HMOs, blocks of flats, and residential units for working professionals, students, and the open market. Its core business model combines property flipping (Buy-Renovate-Sell), HMO rental operations, and BRR (Buy-Renovate-Refinance) strategies funded by private investors seeking fixed returns over typical 12-month terms.

The company monetizes across four streams: property development margins and HMO rental income (its underlying revenue base), turn-key portfolio building services for other investors (covering HMO turn-keys and commercial-to-residential conversions), and a 1-2-1 mentorship program launched in 2022. Distribution is direct-to-consumer and founder-led, with Jake and Lucy personally handling acquisitions, investor relations, and mentorship delivery. Growth has been entirely organic — the firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding — and the customer base consists of a small cohort of private investors, individual property sellers, mentees, and tenants, all concentrated in Southwest England.

Operationally, Innova Property operates without a proprietary technology platform; its competitive edge is grounded in a decade of local Bristol market knowledge, data-driven valuation using third-party property data tools, and a curated professional network of mortgage advisors, architects, and contractors. The firm has won three industry awards and is featured across multiple UK property publications and podcasts, which it uses to support investor acquisition and mentorship lead generation.
