Inspiration for the company name came from Kings, who pass their wealth and property from one generation to the next, the adage that your home is your castle and Coin being money in your pocket. Honesty is fundamental – we deal with your financial wellbeing and we take that responsibility very seriously.

When our Managing Director, John Higginson started the business, it was initially through his own property investments. Friends saw him doing well and asked for advice. Seeing an opportunity to help, John ventured into developments, getting friends to invest and making them a lot of money.

GFC had a profound impact on John and his family. He personally lost a lot of money and saw his father’s retirement money slashed as a result of investing in shares. The experience taught him a lot and it’s something that drives the company’s ethos to help families protect their financial freedom for the future. The desire to help goes beyond clients, it's a value that transcends the entire business from the ground up, including helping staff when times are tough.

“Property never goes to xero, it can never go bust, not even in a downturn. Hang on and it comes back up” – John Higginson.

Having emigrated from the UK in 1988, Susan and Max Moore were looking to build a property portfolio to help with retirement. Having trouble with their rental property in 2012, a friend recommended KingsCoin. The couple developed an instant rapport with Neil McDonald, our Head of Investment & Property Management, who was able to rent the property quickly to quality tenants.  According to Susan, “Neil was always available, always on the phone with updates and fantastic with recommending quality, cost effective tradies. We trusted him implicitly.” 

Impressed with the KingsCoin service and looking to grow their portfolio, the Moores decided that investing in another property would allow some tax depreciation which they could offset against other rental income. They got in early to one of KingsCoin’s developments in Adelaide’s up and coming Western suburbs, ideally located near the city and close to the sea with easy access.

The lifetime rental guarantee gives them peace of mind knowing the mortgage will always be paid. With a great price in a key strategic growth area, the Moores know that over the next 5 years their capital will increase, allowing them to fund another property purchase.

Having just got back from a long holiday in the UK and Europe, the Moores are already planning their next trip to the US in a couple of years, planning to explore New Orleans and Texas. In their 50s, they are making the most of financial freedom whilst they’re fit and able and fully appreciate the opportunity to enjoy life already.

“Our experience with KingsCoin has been incredibly positive. The team pride themselves on honesty and transparency, work with integrity and are just genuinely nice guys - a combination hard to find these days” – Susan Moore.
