BROUGHTON FARM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT LIMITED

What BROUGHTON FARM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT LIMITED does

Broughton Farm Property Management Limited is a privately held landlord and property management firm operating exclusively in the Crewe and Nantwich area of Cheshire, England. Founded in 2016 after founders Joy and Paul Talbot sold their IT business to pursue semi-retirement plans, the company owns approximately 35 residential properties and manages an additional 12 properties on behalf of other landlords, bringing the operational portfolio to roughly 47 units. The business is family-run, with the founders personally overseeing tenant applications, viewings, property maintenance via an in-house trades team, and annual safety certifications (gas, water, electric).

The company operates a direct-to-consumer rental model with no intermediaries, no estate agents, and no third-party listing channels. Tenants apply via downloadable forms, complete referencing (proof of ID, affordability, right-to-rent checks), pay a deposit typically equal to one month's rent, and then pay monthly rent on the move-in day. The company's marketing footprint is minimal — a basic GoDaddy-style website with a property blog and gallery, plus a Facebook page used for reviews and 24/7 emergency tenant contact.

There is no technology platform underpinning the business; revenue is generated purely from monthly rental income on the owned portfolio and management fees on third-party landlord properties. Geographic reach is restricted to a single local catchment in the UK, with no evidence of digital expansion, multi-market operations, or institutional capital. The company has no parent organization, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, no partnerships, and no patents or certifications beyond standard landlord compliance checks.
