Vogue Abode Properties was founded in 2017 by husband and wife duo Neil and Simona Chaudhuri.
Their passion is for interior design and wanting to provide high quality student accommodation and create an enjoyable and inspiring environment to live in. They really care for their students’ wellbeing and that of their clients.
Neil’s background was as an England International and professional golfer. As well as representing the England Men’s Team, he competed on six different continents and played alongside some of the best players in the world.
After retiring from golf, Neil turned his focus to property. With his attention to detail and strong work ethic, Neil has helped Vogue Abode Properties grow from strength to strength. In a short space of time, Neil has had the privilege of being nominated for and winning multiple awards in property and is a regular guest on property podcasts and various property publications. Neil is also the former co-host of Birmingham pin which he helped grow to being the UK’s largest property investors network meeting.
Simona is the heart of Vogue Abode Properties. Her passion for interior design and creative ideas bring the properties to life and she advises clients on how to improve their properties and add value to them. Simona’s designs have really raised the bar of what’s possible in terms of student accommodation. She continues to work in the oncology department of a hospital in a role she loves as well as being a strong advocate for animal rights and animal welfare.
Between the two of them, they make a formidable and dynamic team and are helping to change the face of student accommodation in Leicester forever.

For this reason I requested the input of Neil based on his consistent success rate and expertise in this sector. The report that he structured and released for us was highly strategic and of the utmost value. The outcome of the report was a number of successful offers above and around the target price. Based on this experience, I couldn’t recommend Neil’s services in this capacity any higher.”- Daniel Hill – Property Entrepreneur, Managing Director of PPN UK

Neil – you are truly a master of your craft.”- Gary Sandford – Serial Entrepreneur, Leicester pin host, Director of Hulsford Property Group
“I have always created valuer packs for my properties, but I didn’t have a set way of doing it. I just sort of put loads of things together and hoped it would help! Working with Neil has changed all of that. Neil took the time to explain how valuers work and what they are looking for. He provided templates and examples and took me through each step. The process worked! The pack I produced helped secure a valuation almost 10% higher than what I was asking for (which was already higher than I would have been happy with). Thank you so much Neil for your help and support, I will be following your template from now on.”- Richie Miller – Gerisa Group – Purpose Built Student Accommodation Developer and award winning landlord
