A short story about us
Property Developers IQ exists for one reason: to make property development achievable for anyone willing to learn.
Today, as active developers we’re committed to teaching others through our experiences, both the wins and the setbacks.
Our backgrounds shape everything we teach:
Jonathan, moving from an accounting career into full-time development and investment, and
Kieron, who began as a subcontractor and grew into a main contractor leading multi-unit developments.
Together, we combine two sides of the industry — finance and construction — to create one complete learning system. That is why we created the Property D.E.V.E.L.O.P. Formula: a clear, step-by-step process that any aspiring developer can follow with confidence.
This same mission drove us to launch the UK's No.1 Property Development Podcast - Property Developers Playbook - bringing transparent conversations, expert interviews, and real development insights to thousands of listeners.
