ABOUT US
Scott and Charleine's love and passion for properties began many years before they met. With both having a strong military background, after serving a combined 38 years in the Royal Navy, they are well respected award-winning business entrepreneurs within the local community.
Having previously won the best business awards in Plymouth for 2013, 2014 and 2016, there was no doubt that the launch of Ocean City Living was going to be a huge success.
As soon as Charleine was old enough to place an offer, she purchased her first house in Plymouth, aged 18, and after completing a full refurbishment, she met her future husband.
Scott had purchased and refurbished 3 properties prior to meeting Charleine in 2005, and they both sold their refurbished properties for a good profit margin to purchase their first home together.
Many of us know the joy of walking through the doors for the first time, and the happy times that can follow over the years. They spent 6 very happy years in their first home together, and when their children followed, inevitably the time came to move on to a bigger property. They both knew they didn't want to sell, but to keep their first property together as an investment for their future and for their children.
It's more than fair to say that they have grown an addiction in the property market ever since, and this was clear to see when Semi-Finalist candidate Charleine appeared on BBC One's "The Apprentice" in 2015 and shone hugely in the property task set by Lord Sugar.
In 2016 they purchased their second rental property together, followed by another one shortly afterwards in 2017 and many more since.

Having always managing to find the perfect tenants and haunted by the stories from various Landlords, it was clear to them what others were doing wrong. They were rushing, maybe not taking the time to check all possibilities and impulsing on the first tenants that walked through the door. One thing's for sure, it is a renters market. We could probably have your property let within a few minutes and brag about it. But at what cost to you in the long run? Unpaying tenants, damaged properties, inefficient financial stability of the tenant. The list is endless.
