How We Work

This section of the site shows you how we work as a company. The following information shows what we do, what we can offer and how we structure and promote our UK and Overseas property investment deals.

What we do

• Offer fully refurbished properties in high growth areas of the UK
• Structure Low Money Down Deals
• Fully manage many of the properties that we source on an ongoing basis
• Recommend carefully selected overseas deals
• Work with a number of brokers to provide creative finance solutions for investors
• Build a number of developments throughout the UK at any one time

Why High Yielding UK buy-to-lets?

We look for properties

•In high growth areas
•In areas facing strong rental demand
•With a gross yield of 6.5% +
•In areas undergoing or with scheduled regeneration
•Typically under £100,000

Example of a UK buy to let

For a breakdown of the figures involved with this or any other property on offer, please call us on 0845 652 4343 and we will be happy to discuss these with you.

Return on Investment

So in year 1 are looking at a return of £1,164 from rent alone which represents a 17.4% return on capital employed.

If selling after year one for £60,000 you will have made £1,164 from rent and realise the £9,500 equity you have in the property (£10,664 in total) so you will have realised a return of 159% on capital employed.

If the property appreciates by 10% in year one you will have made £1,164 from rent, realised the £9,500 equity you have in the property and profited from the £6,000 capital growth (£16,664 in total) you will have realised a return of 249% on capital employed.

Now this does not take into account selling costs and assumes capital growth but demonstrates the power of buying a low value property with strong cash-flow at below market value prices.

• This is an example of a typical BTL we source
• Currently buying, refurbishing and selling 3 -5 per week
