MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Dan Cartlidge, the founder of Atomic Estates.


With a passion for property and a strong drive to help others achieve financial freedom, I created this company to make property investment accessible, profitable, and stress-free.


Whether you're a first-time investor or looking to expand your portfolio, my goal is to connect you with high-quality, high-return opportunities that align with your ambitions.

OUR ORIGIN STORY

🏡 From Investor to Deal Sourcer – The Story Behind Atomic Estates


When I first started looking into property investment, I believed it was something reserved only for the already wealthy - a closed club where you needed deep pockets just to get started. I couldn't imagine myself breaking into that world. But back in 2020, I stumbled upon an opportunity that changed everything. That moment planted a seed of curiosity and determination, and it got me thinking: What if I could make this work? What if this was the path to financial freedom I had been searching for?


So, I took the leap and bought my first property. It wasn’t just an investment; it was a crash course in courage, learning, and perseverance. From that point forward, I became relentless in my education - studying the market, crunching numbers, building connections, and figuring out exactly what it would take to build a successful property portfolio. Along the way, I learned a powerful lesson: if you focus hard enough on something, even the seemingly impossible becomes achievable.


Fast forward to today, and I now own a strong portfolio of buy-to-let properties and a house in multiple occupation (HMO), in addition to our family home. It’s been an incredible journey, and through it, I’ve discovered something even more rewarding than growing my own portfolio: helping others do the same.


That’s why I decided to create Atomic Estates Limited. I’ve become extremely skilled at finding great property deals - so many, in fact, that I can’t take them all on myself. But I know there are people out there who dream of investing in property, who want to secure their financial future but don’t have the time, knowledge, or experience to know where to start. That’s where I come in.


My mission is simple: to help others invest with confidence, knowing they’re acquiring properties that meet the highest standards of quality and profitability. Every deal I source is one I’d be proud to add to my own portfolio. Each property must pass a rigorous set of criteria to ensure it delivers maximum return with minimal risk for my investors.


Here’s how:


  • Solid Cashflow: Every property is stress-tested to ensure it can withstand all market conditions and provide consistent income.


  • Great Capital Appreciation: These are properties with the potential for significant long-term value growth, laying the foundation for generational wealth.


  • Instant Equity: By negotiating below-market-value purchase prices or identifying refurbishment opportunities, I help investors secure properties with built-in value from day one.


  • High Rental Demand Areas: I focus exclusively on locations with strong tenant demand to ensure properties remain consistently let to high quality tenants.


  • Trusted Management: I partner with the best agents to provide secure, long-term property management.


Over the years, I’ve also built an extensive network of industry professionals - mortgage brokers, solicitors, builders, and more - who form a trusted power team for my investors. When you work with Atomic Estates, you gain access to all of this expertise, so you can invest with the confidence that every aspect of your property journey is covered.


I’m proof that financial freedom through property investment isn’t just for the wealthy; it’s for anyone willing to take that first step and commit to the journey. I’ve made it my mission to pave the way for others who want to follow this path, turning dreams of financial freedom into reality - one property at a time.


If you’re ready to start your journey, Atomic Estates is here to guide you every step of the way.


Together, we can make the seemingly impossible, possible.
