LH1 Global, Leading International Property Consultants, have undergone a recent creative expansion and rebrand. This is an exciting time for the successful husband and wife entrepreneurial duo: they’ve just opened a new office in the UAE taking their business reach even further. Since its inception in 2017 by founder Benjamin Hunter, LH1 London has since developed into LH1 Global and has successfully delivered prime projects throughout the UK in major cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Derby and Ashford. The business sees no sign of stopping and has accrued a development pipeline over over 1,500 units – all set to be launched in the upcoming 12 to 24 months.
LH1 Global currently operates out of UK offices, but its new Dubai premises will be the firm’s international base and will be led by the company founder Benjamin Hunter. The location will benefit from its own dedicated team sourcing and securing exceptional global property investment opportunities to compliment the UK offering. The core focus of LH1 Global’s international arm will be on emerging markets that offer exceptional capital growth in the short to medium term.
Rayna Hunter has been appointed as CEO and is taking over the full-time management of the UK operation. Rayna was first appointed in 2017, joining from a highly successful PR & Events firm she had established for over a decade. Rayna’s transferable skills, passion for property and leadership qualities quickly saw her become Head of Global Sales and later Managing Director in January 2021.
Commenting on the rebrand and expansion of LH1 Global, Founder, Benjamin Hunter, said: “When I set up LH1 London the first objective was to create the UK’s leading international property consultancy, specialising in the off-plan sales and marketing of prime city centre residential developments.
“We wanted to tap into the international audience that was typically focused on London and demonstrate the potential of other UK hotspots with excellent capital growth. This has been achieved and now is the time to move onto the global stage and take our trusted and proven model to overseas developments.”
Rayna Hunter, CEO of LH1 Global, commented: “I am delighted to accept the position of CEO for LH1 Global and have great plans for the continued growth and future success of the company. I am privileged in my role embracing an industry I find challenging and exciting, plus I have the benefit of a great team behind me. I joined LH1 after building a successful PR & Events business, which has proved vital when using my communication skills in a traditionally male dominated industry. “
“I am proud to be leading this business as a female executive, which aligns with our business sentiments that are based on traditional fundamental values. We pride ourselves on our excellent working relationships with our International Partners and remain intent to uphold our principles and build on now long-established relationships to strengthen our position as the market leader within our sector.”
LH1 Global has grown into a market leader, with the largest network of Investment Property Agents, IFAs and Family Offices throughout the world, enjoying distribution channels in over 30 countries and exclusive access to high-profile investors.
Marketing developments typically range in size from 50 to 500 units, and LH1 Global has built a reputation of selling out projects in record time, often attracting a mixture of purchaser demographics, including domestic buyers, international purchasers, investors, funds and local owner occupiers.
