Dave,
I know of Morris Properties in Leeds, but not the others. Are you looking to purchase properties in the Leeds area?
I am an independent developer and investor who has a property portfolio in Yorkshire. I have been through all the experiences you are considering.
I have started a small personal service - (dealing directly with myself) in which I will not only guide you through all elements including HMO licensing, tenancy deposit schemes, Hips, insurances, finances etc, but also source you a property, have improvement works completed on it right through to placing it with an agent if required.
My costs are completely transparent, which I guarantee to recover by reduction in the asking price.
If you want to talk further outside of this forum please drop me your contact details on an e-mail to
richard@mostyn-jones.freeserve.co.uk.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes
Richard
