District 34Reviews 

No matter what stage you're at in your buying process, as long as you're committed and driven, you NEED to sign up to District 34. There is always something you'll need clarity on and John & the team are ALWAYS there for any questions. My favourite thing is that all the advice given is completely tailored to you & every single little aspect of your life. You will walk away from your meeting or private club meetings/events feeling so empowered and motivated. So if you don't want to rent for the rest of your life, sign up!

I signed up with no idea where to start in regards to buying a home as a first time buyer. Having a one-to-one with John really helped me to understand what I need to be looking out for and he provided me with resources that will aid this. The resources available are amazing!

I have recently joined District 34 and had my 121 with John, I found this really helpful, John was really understanding and I am confident that i will be able to purchase my first home this year!

District 34 have helped me understand a lot when it comes to purchasing a property. Very honest and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend signing up to them as they like to help where they can and understand where you are at financially and what you can do.

John was extremely helpful and informative in regards to our options during our 1-2-1. It has allowed us to narrow down our search and be put in contact with a mortgage advisor who will be able to help us further- can not recommend more!!! It is definitely worth it to know you have the support there and honest opinion and facts provided by John!

The team at District 34 are intelligent, friendly and helpful. I came into this with little to no knowledge of property and first time buying and now I feel as though I'm very much on my way to having everything that I need to buy my first home. Thanks team!

I came across District 34 through a friend and I can honestly say that my life has been changed ever since coming across this organisation. Notably, I must give a shout out to John for my life-changing 1-2-1 with him. He really took the time to understand my current situation and mapped out a plan on how District 34 will help me. The sheer passion on the property market was infatuating and I left that meeting feeling empowered knowing that the possibilities of getting on the property market are very real.

Simply put, I would recommend joining District 34. It is literally one of the best decisions I have made thus far in 2020.

My girlfriend and I have recently joined the home buying group and have learned so much about the home buying process since doing so.

We are now feeling confident about our savings goals and have a clear view about our affordability.

The District 34 team are super helpful and the other members of the group are all keen to help each other and share valuable information. It’s a no brainer

Don't hesitate to sign up - John Lim is amazing! Completely personalised no-jargon life saving advice, whatever your situation. I felt like a real adult who can actually do life after one conversation - priceless! :D

John from District 34 helped me buy your first home in Islington in 2016. Got an amazing price as part of a bulk deal with a dozen other buyers and I am very happy with my purchase. John is now helping me on the hunt for my second home. Great property brain!

I am looking to buy my first property next year and since joining District 34, they have helped show me all the buying and financial options I have which I didn’t know existed, in addition to showing me a range of areas which I hadn’t considered before.

They are doing remarkable things in the proptech space in an ethical way. The analysis that John Lim is able to do with the data is detailed and unique to each first time buyer. In addition to showing how it is possible to get on the housing ladder, the philosophy and ethos of the team is commendable and they are building a positive and empowered community.

The District 34 concept is fantastic, revolutionary and sorely needed for the rent-generation. They're helping us fly the nest and leave the landlord and I couldn't recommend them more!! Join the club ;)

Bought my home through John and was very impressed with his knowledge of the area including future plans. He has clearly well informed and utilises facts and statistics when discussing property/land instead of the 'general feel' like a lot of other people do. Certainly my property has gone up in value and til today John remains easily contactable and is very approachable. Highly recommend to go to him if you have a query about property and more so if you are a first time buyer!

I managed to buy my first home through John on the District 34 team. It was off-plan as part of a bulk deal, so it was at a price that I believe was cheaper than through any other route. Certainly the value has risen and I've been living in it for over 4 years now. And while a good deal is what you always look for, what I appreciated most was the transparency and guidance through the financials and the purchase process - especially as a nervous first time buyer.

We are grateful to John and the team at District 34 for helping us with the right information to help achieve our goal of moving into our first home.

District 34 is like a breath of fresh air - they provide hope and support during the journey of buying a home which seems out of reach for many people. The use of stats and detail when searching for affordable properties is a definite pulling point. John from District 34 is very knowledge and trustworthy. There is access to some great resources and you get to share your experience and learn from others who are going through the home buying process. I would recommend them!

John from District 34 assisted with my first home purchase as part of a bulk deal in London SE8. He managed to directly secure a bulk discount from the developer, passing down significant savings for his clients (which would have been unlikely for individual buyers to receive). Additionally, he provided data analytics demonstrating the purchase to be of deep value. His analysis has proven to be correct and in line with the market since. Very pleased with his service!

Lastly, and most importantly for a homeowner or investor, from my experience, John does not provide advice as an agent with only the transaction in mind. He backs his recommendations with hard data analysis, which is an important value-add for his clients.

District 34 is a shining beacon of hope for young people in an age where buying property seems like an impossible task. The founder, John Kim, is an exceptional man, with great knowledge and even greater charisma.

His platform isn't selling property or loans, but rather making the process of saving to owning very simple and affordable by already utilising products on the market. District 34 simply is about making the saving journey more realistic as well as highlighting what to watch for in the market.

I'd highly recommend for any young people about to finish uni to sign up district 34, open a LISA and start saving. There's no time like the present, and with district 34, there's no better company to have.

I've been apart of Distrcit 34 for a couple of months now and finally took the leap to join the home buyers club and take it a bit more seriously.
The data alone that John uses is worthwhile, as it gives an impressive insight to properties with everything we'd require with a click, no need to have to continously scroll.
It's also encouraging to see so many others in the same boat as myself, that we're all taking a stand towards that property ladders, that it's all real people and that it's more than possible.
And then there's the other resources. I'd like to think of myself as quite thorough at researching from my line of work but even sometimes it's hard to understand things with loads of jargon and information from different places. District 34 gives us two templates when joining home buyers club to input 3 simple things and yet it gives you so much information on your position and statues and will work as great motivation. I also thoroughly appreciate the jargon busters, discussions and opinions we can have in webinars (usually events pre-rona) just so things can become clear and digestible way before I've commited to something I can't get hold of.

Sorry for rambling but my honest review is go for it. If you're serious about home ownership there is only good that could come from this, no matter if you can do so in 12months to 3 years.

I’m in the process of house hunting (first time buyer) so got in contact with District 34 after attending one of their free webinars 2 weeks ago. During a consultation with John (one of the co-founders), we ran through my housing needs (e.g transport links, gyms, flooding risk etc...) and he used his magically data tool to help me locate areas that fit my requirement. Honestly, I’ve never come across a tool that’s been so helpful in helping me decide potential relocation spots (I had 10 locations in mind beforehand and I’ve been able to narrow this down to 2 areas). Purchasing a home is a substantial investment, so it’s nice being able to see data backing my purchase decision - giving me the confidence I need to move forward in this process.
