Who you’ll work with

Hi, I’m Luca.

I’ve spent the last eight years in property, and I’ve been lucky enough to work every part of it — sourcing the deals, running the legal process, arranging mortgages, managing tenanted properties and optimising portfolios once they’re up and running. That end-to-end grounding is the backbone of how BlackRidge works today: when I tell you what happens next, it’s because I’ve done it myself.

I started at a local firm in my home town of Manchester, selling to UK residents — learning the market street by street. From there I worked my way up to global markets, helping investors from the US, Africa, the GCC and beyond buy UK property with confidence. In 2023 I moved to Dubai, and I’ve worked across the Dubai and UK markets ever since.

BlackRidge is built around a simple promise: you get a dedicated point of contact who knows your name and your goals, and a team that stays with you from the first call to long after completion.

Manchester — where it started

Joined a local firm in my home town, selling property to UK residents and learning the fundamentals on the ground.

Going global

Worked my way up to international markets — guiding investors from the US, Africa and the GCC into UK property.

2023 — Dubai

Relocated to Dubai to be closer to my international clients, working across the Dubai and UK markets.

Today — BlackRidge Global

Manchester roots, Dubai base: honest sourcing with one point of contact, end to end.

One point of contact, a full team

A dedicated point of contact — backed by a vetted panel of specialists.

You always have a dedicated point of contact who knows your name and your goals, from the first call to long after completion — and behind them, a full team. Every purchase is delivered alongside an established network of independent professionals we know and trust — so nothing is left to chance.

Solicitors & conveyancers

Property-specialist firms handling contracts, searches and completion — including for overseas buyers purchasing remotely.

Mortgage & finance

Brokers who arrange buy-to-let and specialist lending, including for expat and non-resident investors.

Lettings & management

Agents who tenant and fully manage the property, so your income stays genuinely hands-off wherever you are.

Surveyors & inspection

Independent surveys and building checks, so you know exactly what you’re buying before you commit.

Tax & accounting

Property-savvy accountants for structure, NRLS registration and Self Assessment.

Insurance

Landlord, buildings and rent-guarantee cover arranged where you need it.

Our approach

We bring you deals that stack up — and tell you when they don’t.

Most investors lose months chasing listings, second-guessing the numbers and trying to read areas they’ve never set foot in. We do that work instead: sourcing on and off market, stress-testing the figures, and only bringing forward the opportunities that genuinely hold up.

We’d rather lose a deal than sell you a bad one. That’s the whole business.

Our fee is paid by the developer or selling agent, never by you — so what you pay for a property is what you’d pay going direct, and we’ve no hidden reason to steer you toward one deal over another. Our incentive is the same as yours: get it right, so you come back for the next one.

What we stand for

Three things we won’t compromise on.

Honest numbers

Every deal comes with the real return — net of costs, not a flattering headline yield. If it doesn’t work, we’ll say so.

One point of contact

You deal with one person from first call to completion — wherever in the world you happen to be based.

Your goals first

We source to your strategy and risk appetite — not whatever happens to be easiest for us to sell.

Working with us

A partner, not a portal.

With BlackRidge you deal directly with the person sourcing your deals — from the first conversation through to completion and beyond. No call centres, no handovers, no being passed around a sales floor.

It means faster answers, straight talk, and someone who genuinely knows your goals — whether you’re investing from down the road or the other side of the world.
