Zisk Properties
a brief intro
Property markets in general are slow to evolve, opaque and inefficient. While some countries like the UK are better than others, there is still significant scope to innovate and improve. Areas that need consideration include making transactions more efficient, faster, increasing security, reducing the number of parties involved in a transaction, and most importantly, reducing costs. Zisk Properties was founded precisely to tackle these challenges, with the aim to innovate while helping everyone to access properties with ease and convenience.
We want to outperform our expectations. By ensuring that we have a team of geniuses that are highly qualified and possess, both the plethora of requisite experience and knowledge, helps us to outperform the markets. Leading these with a financial, technical and real estate know-how, combined with decades of experience and out of the box thinking, we deliver on our promises.
We believe that honesty, transparency and integrity are non-negotiable. These founding pillars have enabled us to flourish throughout these years. Keeping our clients and investors at the forefront, we aim to build trusted relationships that stand the test of time. These qualities have helped us become innovators and keeping on developing new, unique solutions to solve real-world problems.
“Zisk Properties was established with a mission to develop innovative solutions to make property markets smarter, quicker and more accessible.”

Case Studies.
Yield
Challenge
Greg was unable to achieve a profit on his 2 block of flats, even with the help of a full-service property manager.
Solution
We restructured the financing deal, replaced the tenants offering higher rents and reduced management costs, increasing his net annual income.
Funding
Challenge
An EU-based 5-star hotel project with GDV of €30+ million was unable to secure new funding, with the previous funding loan interest being extremely high, resulting in bringing the project to a halt.
Solution
We refined the project strategy including reworking the financials, pre-sold 25% of the project to our investors improving the overall cashflow while reducing the funding requirements, secured new funding through our partners with significantly better terms. By 50% completion of the project, we had sold off the entire project.
Growth
Challenge
Phil wanted to build a diversified investment portfolio with £12.5 million to invest that was able to achieve high annual returns.
Solution
Through Zisk Investments, Phil was offered property investment opportunities, diversified across geography and type of return (high rental yields and high capital growth opportunities). Part of the portfolio was diversified into other higher risk, higher return asset classes including crypto-assets, resulting an overall return of over 50% per year.
