Meet Louis

You deal with me, not a sales team


I bought my first house in Bedford in 2009, an unrefurbished wreck I tried to let myself. I learned the hard way, not on a course. Seventeen years on, I still walk the sites and meet investors in person. Over that time, I've worked with hundreds of investors.

I also offer monthly mentoring for investors who want guidance from someone who has been doing this since 2009.

Today the team has 50+ staff and 900+ projects behind it.

Read the transcript

Welcome to Lattuca Invest. I'm the company owner, Louis Lattuca, and my goal is to make property investing simple, trusting and profitable.

You may have been thinking about property investing for a long time but actually not taking the steps. You may have been on seminars, you may have been on property Facebook groups, you may have had ads to your Instagram and other social media sources, you may have been watching Homes Under the Hammer for a long time, you know, and decided that I want to invest in property, but not knowing what steps to take. What area do I invest in? Am I getting a good deal in that area? How do I speak to agents? How do I get a good, below market value property? All you're seeing is what's on the likes of Zoopla and Rightmove or other online sources.

Well, I'm here to tell you that most of the time, if you're looking online, it's too late. Property sources and people with deep networks in those areas would have taken the gems already.

What I do, using my network of property sources and agents that I've been working with for a little over 10 years now, is we buy below market value properties, such as probates, repossessions, distressed sellers, people that are getting divorced or need to free up some cash and need to sell their properties for below market value. I come along and present you with a deal that's well below market value, with an overview of how much that refurb will cost and how much to expect after a revaluation.

So for example, let's say we pick up a property for X amount and we spend X amount refurbishing that property. I know before we've even got to that stage that that property, on true market value, refurbished to Lattuca Invest standards, will be worth 30, 40, 50 or even sometimes as much as 70% more. That's a pretty good return on your money, anything between 30 and 70% post-refurb. I also know what that property will rent out for, and I know that you can get far better returns than you would get from most.

I always make sure to buy properties that are in areas that are always rentable and sellable, no matter the market conditions. You need to be prepared for every scenario. Markets go up and down, and I make sure to protect my investors as much as I protect my own portfolio.

I hand-hold you through the whole process from start to finish: recommendations of solicitors, mortgage brokers, insurance brokers, taking pictures and videos along the way of the refurb to make sure that you're updated constantly, especially if you, you know, live far away from the investment and can't come to regularly see the progress.

After we've got to the refurb, we have a professional revaluation and then get the property rented to our partners. That could be private rent, or it could be a government deal that I have going on: housing, social housing or immigrants, at market rent or even, in some cases, above market rent.

So again, it's about building a relationship with you to make a profitable and trusting property portfolio investment, you know, strategising whatever it is that you want out of your property portfolio. Is it to cash flow, or is it a quick return?

If you're interested to get to know a little bit more, just hit the contact box, send me a message and I'll book you in for a call and we'll discuss more. Thanks for dropping in.

This was my first property let with Louis, and the experience was absolutely seamless from start to finish. Communication was brilliant throughout – any issues were dealt with straight away, and was kept regularly updated at every stage. The property was let after the very first viewing and even achieved above the asking price, which is a real testament to Louis and the team's hard work.

I've had work done by Louis and the team. Full flat refurbishment, done to an excellent standard and finished before scheduled. Very easy to deal with and the team can be reached quickly if there are questions or changes of plan required. They provide a quality ongoing property management service as well which makes life a lot easier for the remote landlord. Thoroughly recommended👍🏾

    Being new to property investment, i very much needed some hand holding and guidance. Louis did this with me from the start of my journey with him. I was reassured by the fact that he wouldn't work with me until i'd met him and his team to see what they do. Having spent a day with him in Wales I was confident that I was in safe hands. House sourced and refurbed and now re-financed it's ready to Let and i'm ready for property number two! Thanks Louis 😁

    With my hand on my heart I can honestly say that without Louis and his service I would have never achieved such fast, reliable, stress free results - becoming a landlord, making my money working for me, creating passive income, clever decisions on investment, building work, refurbishments and so on. Having a super busy life, with a full time job, family commitments and much more, he enabled me to follow my ambition with ease. I fully trust him, his team and often use his advice. Louis managed to plug me in with no prior experience or knowledge. He and his connections, contacts, right people, here and there were my huge blessing. It has been more than a year of a huge success, hence the deep gratitude. I look forward to the continuation of my successful journey with him.

    Louis and his team have been fantastic throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is exceptional, and they consistently deliver results that exceed expectations, including achieving strong refinance valuations after completion. Highly recommended.

    By far the most stress free and valuable service available today. I would not hesitate to recommend this to family and friends, in fact I have passed on the details to many people already, all of whom are having the same great service and results that I have had.

Property investing in South Wales: what to plan for


Wales has some of its own rules for buying and letting a home. Here is what to plan for, and how our property investment South Wales service fits in. This is general information, not financial or legal advice.

  • Land Transaction Tax

    Buying in Wales means Land Transaction Tax, not Stamp Duty. Higher rates apply when you buy an additional home, such as a buy-to-let.

  • Rent Smart Wales

    Landlords of rented homes in Wales must register with Rent Smart Wales, and either be licensed themselves or use a licensed agent.

  • Energy Performance Certificate

    A rented home needs a valid EPC that meets the legal minimum rating before it can be let.

  • Budget for refurbishment

    Older Valleys terraces often need work before letting, such as damp treatment, roof repairs, leak and plumbing repairs, new flooring and decoration.

How we help

We source the property, price and carry out the refurbishment, and can maintain it once it is let. Investors can book a free on-site tour day to see properties and sites before committing.
