Founder & Director

Ricardo Taborda

Ricardo founded BDR Properties to give UK investors a genuinely hands-off route into buy-to-let and HMO property — the service he wished existed when he made his own first purchase back in 2019.

Six years, over £1.5M in GDV delivered, and a national network of agents, builders and lenders later, that promise still runs the firm. Every deal is sourced below market value, refurbished in-house, tenanted with working professionals, and managed from day one — so clients own the property and nothing else.

Based in Cumbria with UK-wide reach, Ricardo works with a small book of clients on long-horizon portfolios: first purchase, then every two years, then every eighteen months, then every twelve. Long-term thinking, delivered short-term.
