Meet the Team
Thim Engel is a Company Director and co-owner of PolyHomes.
After a career as medical doctor, first in public services followed by 17 years in the pharmaceutical industry; in 2008 Thim established his own consultancy and interim management company, Developing 2Morrow’s Medicines (D2MM Ltd). He remains a registered physician with the General Medical Council.
7 years ago Thim and his wife, Polly Rawlings, started PolyHomes Ltd through which they have established a property portfolio of 10 rental properties worth in excess of £5M – consisting mostly of HMOs and which generates a regular cash-flow; Thim directly oversaw the development/reconfiguration of these projects himself.
As a sophisticated/HNW investor he has invested in a number of development projects managed by others.
Having achieved financial freedom, Thim is now in control of his own time and is keen to put his experience into good use by becoming involved in bigger property developments – both directly as a JV partner as well as by offering finance to others.
Thim comments: “I want to make a difference in a positive sense – be it towards people directly e.g. our tenants and our handymen, indirectly e.g. managing people/teams, or even more indirectly by developing new medicines which the population will benefit from.
I get motivated from adventures/exploring new avenues/newness in general; learning new skills; and to 'better' things in general. Also by working with and being among other people and from seeing the benefits of my contribution.
My most important values in life are integrity; reliability/credibility and making a positive difference; learn/improve matters; having trust in others; always seek the positive in relations with others; seek to establish win-win relationships; have fun, and love / care for / and listen to others. I firmly believe that anything is possible.
I regulary work towards maintaining my fitness, health and general wellbeing. I am passionate about travel, good food & wine. Also, culture, exhibitions, classical music, theatre and cinema.”

Polly Rawlings is a Company Director and co-owner of PolyHomes.
In her own words:
“I am passionate about being the best that I can be and have a deep seated belief that I am in the world to make it a better place for myself and others. I enjoy travel, cultural activities, exhibitions, music, theatre and cinema and particularly to share with others.
My deep rooted values are to make a difference in a positive sense – from small things each day to the bigger things, eg having enough to share with and support others.
I regulary read, study, attend seminars, workshops and presentations by motivational presenters. I specifically stretch myself mentally and physically to overcome challenges and to be more. I regulary work towards maintaining my fitness, health and general wellbeing.
My most important values in life are integrity, making a positive difference, learn/improve myself, always seek the positive in relations with others and have fun. I firmly believe that anything is possible.
I have previously worked as a Nurse/Counsellor, specifically with people with psychiatric and behavioral problems and in the field of addictions. I have also worked in the pharmaceutical industry, project managing clinical trials in multiple countries around the world.
For many years, I have found property investing appealing and intriguing and therefore left my last job in October 2011 to learn and understand property investing and to establish a property portfolio to help me create the kind of lifestyle I want and to take care of me into my old age.”
