⚽ A Luxury Letting Story Like No Other

If you’re searching for footballer letting agents or wondering “Who is the footballer turned billionaire who played for Brentford, Birmingham City, and Aston Villa?”, you’re in the right place.

At Partridge Homes, we don’t just rent homes — we move lives. For over a decade, we’ve been helping footballers, entertainers, and content creators relocate smoothly to the West Midlands.

This story is a brilliant example of what we do best: spotting potential early, providing five-star service, and building relationships that last far beyond the move itself.


🎥 When Matt & Summer Were Just Starting Out

Let’s go back four years. Property videos on YouTube were just beginning to take off, and a young couple called Matt & Summer were quietly creating cinematic tours of luxury homes.

Their attention to detail, presentation, and style stood out immediately. We knew they had something special.

When Partridge Homes was asked to handle the relocation and marketing of a footballer’s Birmingham home, we wanted Matt & Summer to film it.

That footballer was Jota Peleteiro, the Spanish midfielder who played for Brentford, Birmingham City, and later Aston Villa.

Our team managed Jota’s relocation from start to finish — finding the right home, arranging the move, and producing a video tour that showcased the property perfectly.

At the time, Matt & Summer weren’t yet famous. But we saw their talent early. Today, they’ve filmed luxury properties in London, Dubai, and Los Angeles, working with brands and developers around the world.

It’s fair to say — we knew their potential before the rest of the world did.


💼 From Footballer to Billionaire Entrepreneur

Now, let’s talk about Jota Peleteiro — the footballer who turned his passion and discipline into a billion-pound business empire.

After successful spells with Celta Vigo, Eibar, Brentford, Birmingham City, and Aston Villa, Jota retired from football in 2022. But instead of stepping back, he stepped up — launching one of Europe’s most innovative biofuel companies.

That company is Groinn. Its mission? Turning agricultural waste into clean, sustainable fuel.

Since its creation, Groinn has grown rapidly. It’s already valued at more than £600 million, with forecasts predicting a value of over £2.9 billion by 2026.

Key Highlights

  • ⚽ Played for Celta Vigo, Eibar, Brentford, Birmingham City, and Aston Villa

  • 🌱 Co-founded Groinn, a cutting-edge biofuel and agri-tech firm

  • 💷 Company valuation: £600M+

  • 🌍 Working with governments in Spain, Portugal, and Northern Europe

  • 💡 Visionary approach to green energy and sustainable investment

Jota’s transition from the football pitch to the boardroom shows what’s possible when focus meets opportunity.

At Partridge Homes, we’re proud to have played a role in one of his early chapters — helping him feel at home in Birmingham while he focused on success both on and off the pitch.
