Our Story

AURA Investments was founded by Ben Richards in 2011, who has previously worked with architects, engineers and one of the largest property development companies in the South East of the UK – the Berkeley Group. Ben helped add 10’s of millions of pounds to the bottom line of some vast property development schemes in SW London.

His team have also worked in-house for property developers running feasibility studies and development appraisals, together with carrying out some of their own investments and developments. This is why AURA bring a ‘Maximising’ and ‘Optimising’ mindset to all of our clients’ property development schemes. 

Ben also co-owns an Architectural firm named ‘AURA Architecture & Interiors’ (www.aurahomes.co.uk) and a property development business named ‘XP Property’ (www.XPproperty.co.uk) to understand the entire property development life-cycle and commercial aspects of any design that AURA create.

His network of construction professionals, agents, financiers and designers is a huge asset that he can bring to your property development project. He’s even brokered a cash injection of £270,000 to help one of his developer clients.
