Total Property Group Founder Pat Harper Invited to Share Expert Views with The Times

Total Property Group is proud to announce that its founder and director, Pat Harper, was recently invited by Jane Hamilton, Appointments Editor at The Times newspaper, to provide expert commentary on the UK’s ever-evolving property development and investment landscape.

The invitation marks a significant milestone for both Pat and the Total Property Group brand, which has long been recognised for its strategic insight, hands-on experience, and trusted guidance within the UK property sector.

 “It was a pleasure to be asked by The Times to contribute to their feature,” said Pat. “There’s a growing interest in regional regeneration, property investment, and alternative strategies outside London. I was glad to offer a grounded perspective on what’s really happening in the market and what’s coming next.”

Trusted Voice in a Complex Market

In her role as Appointments Editor, Jane Hamilton regularly speaks with business and investment leaders across the UK. Pat Harper’s inclusion reflects his strong track record advising investors, developers, and first-time landlords across regions, including Liverpool, Manchester, and North Wales.

Pat’s commentary example:

 “If we’re serious about fixing the housing crisis, we need to stop treating property investors and developers as a punch bag. We need to start recognising them for what they are, a vital part of the economy,” Pat Harper, founder of Liverpool’s Total Property Group, said. “It’s strange that development isn’t seen as a proper career, especially when the country urgently needs more homes. Done right, it’s one of the most practical and impactful careers you can pursue.”

The evolving expectations of modern tenants and homeowners

His insight featured alongside other notable figures in the UK housing and investment space, helping readers of The Times better understand the risks and opportunities facing investors in 2025 and beyond. Read the full article in The Times Newspaper here.

Raising the Profile of Regional Investment

Total Property Group has built its reputation on highlighting undervalued and high-growth opportunities in regional markets, areas often overlooked by mainstream investors. Pat’s interview with The Times reinforces the Group’s position as a thought leader, particularly for those interested in property investment developments, build-to-rent opportunities, and value-added property strategies.

 “We’ve always believed in providing our clients with not just access to great projects, but also real education and insight,” Pat added. “This opportunity with The Times helps shine a spotlight on some of the most dynamic property shifts happening outside the M25.”
