“Helping our kids as well as ourselves”

Thomas and Kathy Clarke immediately saw the potential of a passive investment with Platinum Portfolio Builder. Looking to enjoy a slower pace of life having been self employed for much of his career, Thomas was already a Franchise Partner with Platinum Property Partners when Nick Carlile introduced him to Portfolio Buidler.

“It was easy to recognise the potential of a passive investment” explains Thomas “especially when you’re looking to work less not more. We have been really happy with the service provided by Platinum Portfolio Builder and very impressed with the team in Yorkshire. They are currently in the process of purchasing our third property.”

More than disappointed with the dire pension situation in the UK having paid into it all their working lives, Platinum Portfolio Builder presented a managed solution that would not only provide an income but also accumulate equity growth.

“For us it was the obvious choice” explains Thomas.  Having such a positive experience with Platinum Portfolio Builder, Thomas and Kathy also recognised the potential benefit to a young couple who were both working hard at fulltime careers. “Our daughter Samantha and husband Simon have also invested with Platinum Portfolio Builder and currently have two properties working for them in Yorkshire” explains Thomas.

Speaking of recommending Platinum Portfolio Builder to his daughter and son-in-law, Thomas says “for us the opportunity presented itself just at the right time, but had we known about it we would have invested sooner. It’s good to know that Samantha and Simon have been able to take advantage of passive investing so early in their lives without it interfering with their careers.”

Thomas went on to discuss the benefits besides the income and equity saying “it’s not been without its hiccups, but we’ve met some fantastic people and have a very friendly relationship with the team,  which makes all the difference. For Kathy and I our investment with Platinum Portfolio Builder means we can take things easier, spend more time together and have the income available to enjoy that time.”
