Christopher James Hartland
CEO
​
​In 1990's. Mr Hartland was involved in promoting docklands in the UK to investors based in the Gulf while he worked as an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA). He promoted docklands through a company called 'Morley Consultancy Services' who were based in Dubai. They were able to do finance, management and also letting as well as sales.​​
Mid 1990's to 2007, he involved in selling leisure homes in Spain through Oceanview properties and also worked providing mortgage support for clients investing in the UAE as well as mortgage finance. During his tenure, he also helped clients to purchase using offshore companies to avoid issues with '​Sharia Law'.

Mr. Hartland was heavily involved in promoting 'buy to let' investment properties in Prague from 2005 and sold these properties to international investors all over the world.

Prior to the financial crisis, he was not involved in selling property and concentrated on core skills as an IFA. In Late 2011, he founded Starwealth Consultancy Services (SCS) with partners in Manila to promote Wealth Management Services and Property Investments .

SCS aim to promote Manila as an alternative retirement destination due to the government having a policy which encourages people to retire in the Philippines and buy property.

The company in Manila not only offer quality services but also offers a complete solution for property investors from buying to property management and rental, resale, furnishing, maintenance and tax advise.

As well as advising clients with regard to property investments, he has also personally invested in all the above markets except in the UAE which was a market that he provided mortgage and financial support for but never sold property in that market.
​
Mr. Hartland has also been involved in property shows around the world from the UK to Shanghai and done many in the Middle East.
SCS has years of experience in helping property investors in the UK, Europe and the Middle & Far East. This experience we have used to create a 'one stop shop' for investors who want to benefit from the exciting opportunities available in the Filipino market. On the website we have put down as to why is now the time to invest in Manila and in particular Makati.
Over the years many investors have wanted to tap into these new emerging markets by investing into property but often the barriers created make it not worth the effort. This has been particularly true in many areas of Europe & the Middle East where the red tape and foreign language has led to many making bad decisions and losing money on their investment.
SCS understands that and has spent the last year researching the Filipino property market and others to make purchasing property in Manila a simple process. The government in the Philippines welcomes foreign investors and encourages foreigners to invest and retire in the Philippines. The language of business and contracts is English which makes it ideal for the international investor.
​
SCS is therefore able to help investors with the initial purchase of property, arranging finance and all legal issues associated with purchase. We are also able to provide a full property management and rental service with full maintenance and help with tax returns, bills and other areas associated with the property purchase.
​
SCS look forward to working with you to help you find your ideal investment property in Manila and we hope this will be the start of a long term relationship. Many of our clients have already bought with us in many different countries and we feel confident that Manila will be one of the most successful property markets we have ventured into.
