What VR Property Gateway does

VR Property Gateway is a Glasgow-headquartered, founder-operated UK property services firm delivering an integrated stack of sourcing, development, lettings and ongoing management for individual buy-to-let, HMO and serviced-accommodation investors. Its five core products are Buy-To-Let Bespoke Sourcing (three tiers priced £2,499–£5,499 with guaranteed 8% gross yield and 12% ROI thresholds), SA Management (15% + VAT of rental income covering dynamic pricing, guest comms and multi-platform advertising), HMO Management (guaranteed monthly rent to landlords at 0% commission via rent-to-rent subletting), Project Management (turnkey renovation and HMO conversion with in-house construction oversight), and an investor platform ("Invest with VR PG") accepting £10,000 minimums over 6–24 month terms. Recent deal flow spans Glasgow postcodes (G40, G2, G44, G13, G14, G20, G53), London, Sheffield, Nottingham, Paisley and Renfrew, with sample acquisition prices of £48,000–£140,000 generating £850–£1,100/month rent and 17–148% PA ROI on marketed deals.

The business is a founder-led private limited company (Company Number SC741499, Scotland) with a named team of three — Director Vibha Mahajan (9 years' experience, personal 45-property portfolio since 2014), Jayant Mahajan (data and business analytics background from Durham University, 8-property BTL portfolio focused on HMO conversions) and Aashna (business development, Dubai real estate brokerage background) — operating without disclosed external funding, institutional investors or parent company. Revenue derives from one-off sourcing fees, percentage-based SA management commissions, guaranteed-rent arbitrage on HMOs and project/development fees, with a long-tail customer base of individual investors reached through website, Calendly, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Mailchimp channels. Operational credentials include FCA credit-broker regulation, Property Redress Scheme membership, ICO data protection registration and PI/PL insurance, but no proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, patents or trademarks are evidenced.
