Our Story
Our Story & Expertise
ResiGains Limited was founded in early 2019 by Jonathan Gains, drawing on his deep expertise in the rapidly evolving Build to Rent (BTR) sector. From 2015, Jonathan served as Commercial Director at LIV Group, one of the UK’s pioneering BTR management operators. There, he played a central role in negotiating management agreements for major clients across multiple schemes, overseeing thousands of letting units. He was instrumental in elevating operational standards, introducing quality management practices, and spearheading digital innovation - including the development of a proprietary resident services app and portal.
Before transitioning to the BTR space, Jonathan held senior management positions in corporate investment and asset management, with leadership roles at Citibank and LV= Asset Management. This experience gave him a strong foundation in institutional financial and operational strategy, which he now applies to the unique requirements of the Living sector.
ResiGains is supported by a broad and well-established network of senior professionals across the BTR and wider Living sectors. Through these connections, ResiGains is able to draw on the expertise of trusted associate partners, assembling tailored teams where required to deliver comprehensive solutions for each client’s needs. This collaborative approach ensures that clients benefit from a depth of sector knowledge and a diversity of perspectives, reinforcing ResiGains’ commitment to delivering results that go beyond individual expertise.
Driving Innovation & Growth
Since its inception, ResiGains has broadened its service offering to include the development of Integrated Management Systems that align with multiple ISO standards, as well as providing strategic IT consultancy for BTR and Co-living operators. The company has established and continues to manage the ISO 9001 quality management system for the UK’s leading BTR operator, and advised on IT strategy for the 2025 launch of a flexible living portfolio in Madrid, supporting both short- and long-term stays. ResiGains has also managed client-side tender processes to appoint operators for flagship BTR schemes, and led successful tender responses for prominent third-party management firms.
In addition to his work at ResiGains, Jonathan is a co-founder and non-executive director of TFAS Enterprises Limited, a digital lead generation and financial services business. This entrepreneurial experience gives him first-hand insight into the challenges faced by SMEs, particularly around resource constraints and agile decision-making - perspectives that inform his practical, results-driven approach to consultancy in the Living sector.
Global Perspective, Local Insight
Jonathan’s consultancy at ResiGains is shaped by extensive international experience across the Living sector, including over a decade in the USA, hands-on work with a leading flexible living operator in Madrid, and site visits to innovative residential assets throughout Europe.
This global perspective enables Jonathan to identify best practices and emerging trends from diverse markets, translating them into tailored, forward-thinking solutions for UK clients. By bridging insights from the US, Spain, and other European markets, ResiGains delivers consultancy that helps UK clients stay ahead in the rapidly evolving Build-to-Rent and Living sectors.
