The People Behind It

A property family.
Not a faceless firm.

We're a tight-knit team of property professionals and former footballers who back this model with our own time, money and reputation. When you invest with 3 Property NE, you're investing alongside us.

"

We didn't build 3 Property NE to be a faceless investment company. We built it because we genuinely believe the North East offers the best property investment returns in England — and we wanted to bring people into that with us. We invest our own money here. Every one of us. That says everything.

— The 3 Property NE Team

Meet the Team

Three owners.
One shared mission.

Phil Reed
Co-Founder & Property Director
Phil Reed
★ Investor & Owner

Phil is the property brain behind 3 Property NE. A former estate agent with over 15 years in the North East market, he identifies every deal, leads all acquisitions and maintains the relationships that give the business access to off-market opportunities before they reach the open market.

His deep knowledge of North East property — which streets, which property types, which refurbishment strategies deliver the best returns — is the foundation the whole business is built on. Phil has personally overseen 100+ successful transactions.

Andy Carroll
Co-Owner & Founding Investor
Andy Carroll
★ Investor & Owner

Andy Carroll is one of the North East's most recognisable sporting figures — a former Premier League striker who played for Newcastle United, Liverpool and West Ham, among others. Born and raised in the North East, Andy backs 3 Property NE not as a celebrity endorsement but as a genuine investor.

Andy put his own capital into this model because the numbers made sense and because he believes in the region. He is proof that the hands-off investment approach works for people who are busy, who don't have time to manage properties, and who want their money working hard for them.

Matty Pattison
Co-Owner & Founding Investor
Matty Pattison
★ Investor & Owner

Matty Pattison is a former professional footballer and proud North Easterner who spent time at Newcastle United during his playing career. A founding owner of 3 Property NE, Matty brings the same drive and competitive edge to property investment that he brought to the pitch.

Like Andy, Matty invests his own money in the business because he has seen first-hand what the North East property market can deliver. His involvement is not cosmetic — he is a genuine owner who believes in the model and the region.
