Invest in Property

In principal we wish to help you find suitable buy to let properties via our contacts, ideally with considerable 'instant equity'.  Please note we are not a ‘property sourcing’ agent , we do not 'mark up' purchase prices or perform back to back increased priced transactions, or package property deals up, if we assist you in negotiating a purchase, you will be purchasing the property direct with complete transparency via the agent and seller concerned, at which point the selling agent and solicitor would undertake the necessary identity and money laundering checks with you as per current legislation. We do not provide financial investment advice, before considering investing into buy to let properties we recommend you obtain your own professional advice.  

 

As a general guide to our considerations, there are some key drivers factored into our search for suitable properties for our clients, specifically we look to avoid properties where ;


  • You can’t add value
  • The discount is false
  • The resale market is limited
  • Capital growth is non-existent
  • They are too complicated to manage well
  • You can't realise your gain
  • They have sky high service charges
  • They are difficult to finance 


You drive the level of involvement you wish to have in regards to pre viewings and negotiations.  
Rest assured we have a vested interest ensuring you make the right buy to let choices, we wish to build solid long term working relationships with our landlord investors to grow their property business, and we understand to achieve this landlords need to see the desired end result with a successful and profitable let.  

 

Once you have a successful completion and following any refurbishment, our lettings agency will handle the tenant finding process swiftly from there, please refer to our Landlords Services for further details on this.
