Hello, I am Mike Chadwick . As your host of the Progressive Property Network in PPN Manchester & Cheshire, we would like to extend a warm welcome and invite you to join us at our monthly events.

Whether you are just beginning your investment journey or if you are a seasoned investor, the PPN Manchester & Cheshire Property Network will enable you to access national experts in property investment, the latest thinking and innovative investment strategies. Meeting with the right people is essential to building any business and this applies just as much to property.

Our network also aims to provide access to a broad range of property education delivered through the Progressive Property team. We will also share experience on what works well and what doesn’t, and members will be able to access support from each other to develop success habits that many investors have used to great effect over the years.

The PPN Manchester & Cheshire Property Network will enable you to be part of a vibrant local community that will help you create greater wealth and success for you and your family; and we will have lots of fun doing it!

He started life in Cheshire and subsequently has lived and worked in Washington, Madrid, Brussels and Cambridge as well as elsewhere in the UK.

His main focus at present is on buy to let, refurbishment and houses of multiple occupancy.

Sean Fitzpatrick is a full-time property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property. With a portfolio valued in the 7 figures and a knack for creative deal-making, off-market sourcing, and smart finance strategies, Sean brings real-world insight to every stage he steps on.

But his journey didn’t start in a boardroom—it started on an impoverished council estate in Northern Ireland.

A self-taught pianist, Sean earned his place at university through grit and determination. He went on to become a school teacher—but after years of working long hours for modest pay and missing precious time with family, he knew something had to change. That’s when he discovered Progressive Property—and everything did change.

Victoria is the founder and director of VMR Home Staging which has been maximising the value of their client’s properties since 2016. VMR Home Staging was launched when Victoria personally experienced the impact good presentation has on the value of one of her own properties. She knew through professional presentation that she could help other property owners and professionals achieve the same returns. Since then, she has developed trusted techniques and methods to present properties in their best possible light which results in properties selling faster, whilst achieving a higher price.

VMR Home Staging is now in its 8th year and Victoria has staged hundreds of properties across the UK (and fluffed-up literally thousands of cushions!). So whether it's furnishing and dressing a property for the sales market or creating standout interior decor, furniture packs and dressing for HMO’s and SA units, her mission is to maximise the value of property through tried and tested techniques. Over the years the VMR team has grown to include stylists and removal professionals that share the same mission, to create affordable, irresistible interior decor and styling solutions no matter the size of the property.
