Our story

It’s easy to see the success of No1 Property Guide in the thousands of renters we’ve helped move from renting to owning, using the proven no or low deposit home system we’ve perfected over the years. But that’s just part of the story. The real key to our success lies in our unwavering commitment to making homeownership achievable for everyone.

My passion to help as many clients as I can to own their own home, pushes me to work harder and ensures I provide the best outcome to every client, every time.
- Darren Walters

When Darren Walters founded No1 Property Guide, the housing market was tougher than ever. Property prices were soaring, and for many renters, saving for a deposit felt impossible. The traditional home-buying system wasn’t designed for them. If you didn’t fit the mold, you were stuck renting with no way out. The time was right for a change. And Darren made it happen.
