Using rent-to-rent to build a stronger retirement plan in West Sussex

Watch the video below to find out how.

Simon and Celen Sullivan had carried the desire to start their property journey for a long time. After growing up in East London, living in Essex for almost 30 years, and later moving to Littlehampton on the south coast, they had spent most of their lives working various jobs, raising their family, and building a life together. Married for 38 years, with two daughters and two young grandchildren, they reached a stage where they wanted to build something new for their future. Their pensions were not where they wanted them to be, and they wanted to create a retirement fund that could give them more financial security in the years ahead. Rent-to-rent gave them a practical way to start building income from property without needing to buy a house first. Since joining SSO, Simon and Celen have secured two rent-to-rent deals and started proving to themselves that it is not too late to build something new. For them, this is not just about property. It is about seizing the opportunity, putting in the work, and creating a stronger future for themselves and their family.
