Dr KK Yau

Director

After graduating from the University of London in 1982, KK went on to complete a Ph.D. in Cambridge. This is where he started his home ownership journey in the UK and also began to invest in property with friends. In 1987, his family moved to Sale, Manchester for his new job with GEC. He was responsible for the engineering of power plant projects worldwide. Thus, he is familiar with building structure and maintenance. He continued investing in properties in Manchester, laying the foundation for property investment and management.

KK, who is keen on property investment, took an important step in 1997. He jointly purchased a hotel in Altrincham, Manchester. He personally took charge of the hotel's refurbishment and subsequent maintenance, and operated the hotel for 10 years. During one of the peak periods of the property market in 2007, the hotel was sold to a developer.

Experience in property also creates opportunities for KK to serve the society. He has always been concerned about housing issues for Chinese people in Manchester. From 2008-2016, he was invited to serve as a board member for the Tung Sing Housing Association, dedicated to the housing needs of Chinese people and improving their quality of life.

KK’s family now has more than 30 properties in various districts of Greater Manchester/Warrington and they take care of the letting, maintenance, and refurbishment themselves. Having lived in Manchester for more than 30 years, KK is familiar with properties, local environments, education, and tradesmen working on building projects and maintenance in the North West.
