DS CREATIVE PROPERTIES LTD

What DS CREATIVE PROPERTIES LTD does

DS Creative Properties Ltd is a UK-incorporated private limited company (Company No. 16546631) founded by Tessa Kar as an extension of her marketing, branding and design practice, operating primarily in West London and surrounding areas. The firm positions itself as a one-stop property services provider for homeowners and landlords, offering an integrated suite of professional services spanning the full property lifecycle: property sourcing and buyer matching, professional photography and photo editing, 2D and 3D floor plans, interior design and project management, EPC assessments, EICR and heat alarm installation, gas safety CP12 and boiler servicing, refurbishment and building development (rear extensions, loft conversions, new builds), tenant finding and contract creation, inventories, end-of-tenancy cleaning, advertising material production, and consultancy for independent sellers.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for a property services business: top-tier cameras and lenses, professional photo editing suites, 2D/3D floor plan design software producing scaled drawings with party wall and heat loss perimeters, and trade-account supplier relationships for renovation materials. Sector-required certifications — The Property Ombudsman, Safecontractor, Elmhurst Energy EPC Assessor approval, ICO data protection registration, and NICEIC Gas Safe — underpin the compliance-oriented service lines (EPC, EICR, CP12). The team comprises qualified in-house and ad-hoc contracted professionals covering interior design, Gas Safe heating engineering, NIC EIC electrical work, carpentry, window fitting and general building.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and quote-based, with revenue generated as one-off professional services fees across each service category plus transaction fees on property sourcing/buyer matching. Customer segments span individual homeowners (primary), landlords (primary), property investors (secondary), and estate agents (secondary). Geographic focus is regional (West London and surrounding areas), with acquisition driven by the company website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok), referrals, and free non-obligation consultations under the WEB10 promotional code. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm markets "low, competitive prices tailored to your needs." No external funding, parent company, or institutional investors are recorded; the company is founder-owned and bootstrapped.

Broad incumbents

• Purplebricks: National hybrid/online estate agency offering sales, lettings and related conveyancing services. Comparable as a broader incumbent competing for the same homeowner/landlord transactions DS Creative Properties supports, though with a much wider geographic footprint and scale.
• Hunters Property Group: National UK estate and letting agency network with branch coverage beyond London. Comparable as an incumbent multi-service residential property provider, though larger and more geographically diversified than DS Creative Properties.

Emerging players

• Nested: Tech-enabled London estate agency offering modern seller services including advance cash offers and accompanied viewings. Comparable as a London-focused disruptor in the same homeowner sales and marketing services space.
• Strike: Online estate agency offering flat-fee sales and lettings services across the UK. Comparable as a digital-first competitor targeting homeowners with low-cost alternatives to traditional full-service agents.

Direct peers

• Chase Evans: London-focused estate and letting agent offering sales, lettings, property management and associated services. Comparable because it serves the same Greater London landlord/owner base with a bundled property-services proposition.
• Marsh & Parsons: West London-headquartered estate agency and lettings business. Comparable due to overlapping West London geography and a similar mix of sales, lettings, and property management services for homeowners and landlords.
