“Neil is one of those people that instantly makes you feel at ease in his company and so it comes naturally to build confidence and trust. Unlike so many people in the property market today, there are no easy schemes or get rich quick stories from Neil, but just practical, solid advice and guidance from someone that has rolled up their sleeves and learned what to do and what not to do as he implemented his plan to become a successful property investor. I first met Neil four years ago when, as a mentor he helped to start me off with my own property investment strategy. Since that time his unlimited energy, crystal clear sense of purpose, extensive knowledge and passion for achieving success in both property and personal development have been a constant inspiration to me. I am also very happy to count Neil as a true personal friend, always ready to help”.

“Spending time with our mentor, Neil Mansell was invaluable during our two day mentoring program. Although we have experience of property purchasing and renovation, Neil’s huge experience in the field of HMO’s, enabled us to learn the critical factors particular to the acquisition and running of this type of property. This gave us the confidence we needed to be sure our first HMO purchases were likely to be profitable, and therefore a good investment going forward. Neil is a great mentor and the quantity and quality of information we absorbed during the two days is remarkable. Thank you Neil!”

“I have known Neil for over 5 years, during which time I have watched him progress and develop rapidly, both in the property business and in his personal life. He’s bright, focused, dedicated and diligent in his work and has become, without question, one of the UK’s leading experts in the HMO property investment market – someone I often go to myself for advice and to talk over ideas. On a personal level, Neil is a pleasure to spend time with and his understated manner belies a quiet intelligence and wicked sense of humour! I have great admiration for the way he constantly challenges himself – from hiking up mountains to running marathons (not something I’d attempt!) – and would highly recommend him as a very capable businessman and property professional.”
Sarah Walker, Freelance Property Writer & Editor
“I have known Neil for a number of years and he has been a valued and committed client of mine since 2007 as well as an integral part of our training community. He has never missed a scheduled training session and always gives 100% in any task he is given to complete. Whether that be a set of weights in the studio, a round of boxing training on the pads, completing the Reading Half Marathon, the 3 Peaks Challenge or even The 26.2mile London Marathon! He is intelligent, motivated, focussed and modest. Neil plays down his many achievements in business, sport and life and is generous with his time having advised and discussed property matters with a number of my clients. Within the last year I have been involved in the setting up of a local mastermind group of which Neil is also a founding and pivotal member. Through our regular meetings Neil helps me and the other four members enormously and is a pleasure to work with on every level. He brings a wealth of broad knowledge and experience to the table and his input is always insightful and thought provoking. All in all Neil Mansell is a great client, colleague and friend……although you wouldn’t want to wind him up in the boxing ring or on the gokarting track!!!!!”

“I met Neil when he was doing a presentation about the Thames Gateway. I asked for his support and advice – he worked hard to help me find new premises for my business and even supported me applying for planning permission. He has always been very professional, polite and very knowledgeable. I would definately work with him again and recommend him to other businesses.”

“Thanks for all your help and cooperation in the past and all the very best in your new position in the future. If Essex Districts and Boroughs had even one other BDO in your position like yours at Maldon the county would really start to move forward, and I really hope to be working with you again sometime.”
