Our story

Property should buy back your time —
not just fill a spreadsheet.

The Last Commute exists for one reason: to help property investors turn what they own into the freedom it was always meant to buy. Not a bigger pile of properties — a plan, a number, and the day you stop commuting for good.

How it started

It started with a number — and no property at all.

I'm Sean. In 2021 I began from a standing start: no investment properties, just a demanding job and a decision that the commute wasn't going to be forever. So I gave the vague hope a real shape — one number to aim at, and a date to hit it by.

From that zero base I built a seven-figure portfolio inside three years, and have since doubled it — it turns over a six-figure revenue today. But here's what most people get wrong: portfolio size and revenue aren't freedom. The only number that ends my commute is net profit, and I won't call it done until that hits six figures — around £10,000 a month. Right now it's still five. That's the number I track every month, and the one I'm aiming to reach by 2029.

So I built the system to get me there — to turn that number into a dated plan, track it honestly, and catch the money a growing portfolio quietly loses to creeping insurance, below-market income and slipped remortgage dates. It's already changing things: when a career setback put me out of work for several months, my property income carried enough of the load that I could choose to work two days a week instead of five. Not the finish line — but proof the plan works. That's exactly what The Last Commute is built to do for you.

What we believe

A few things we hold to.

01

Aim at a number

People who aim at nothing hit it every time. A vague hope of “comfortable” isn't a plan. A real number with a date is.

02

Tell the truth about your numbers

Drift hides; a dashboard doesn't. When you can see where you really are every month, you can't quietly fall behind for years.

03

Education, not hype

We share what we've done and the system behind it — we never tell you what to buy. Facilitator-led, peer-powered, and honest about what property can and can't do.

04

We'd rather say no

This is for people building a portfolio to hold. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you — a good fit beats a full room, every time.

What we're building

Software is the engine. The journey is the point.

The Last Commute is a guided journey toward financial freedom through property, built on three things working together: the plan that turns your aspiration into a dated target, the tracking that keeps it honest month after month, and the community — a facilitator-led, peer-powered mastermind of investors walking the same path.

It works for any portfolio you're building to hold — buy-to-let, HMOs, serviced accommodation, commercial, title splits or conversions. Membership is by invitation, and we're welcoming a small founding cohort now: the people who help shape the journey for everyone who follows.
