Investment Property

Investment Solutions knows that buying the right property is crucial to our client’s future prospects. For the last 5 years the directors of investment solutions have been investing in property themselves. Through our network of contacts we can help our clients identify prospective investment properties. Historically Investment solutions have warned clients about new build properties due to low yields, over supply, and high prices. While supply is still an issue new builds are now looking more attractive due to the developers being more realistic with their prices, and as such this increases the yield of these properties.

This coupled with the fact that maintenance costs being lower in the short and medium term now means that they are now a more attractive proposition. Our stance of buying second hand property in established areas with good rental and price comparables still stands however. The bread and butter of property investment, the terraced and semi-detached houses, still prove to be the easiest to let and have the lowest tenant turnover. More recently however we have been recommending low cost 4 and 5 bedroom properties as the demand by families for larger affordable homes continues to grow.

This has also been compounded by the fact that the change in the way Local Housing Allowance is paid has increased the rent on these properties substantially. Understanding these issues Investment Solutions has helped our clients increase their rents on these properties by 50%+. HMO’s are also another way for increasing rental yields. HMO’s are no longer the preserve f the student landlord. For many years HMO’s or shared houses have provided low cost accommodation for many in the south of the UK.

As property prices increase and affordability decreases this trend of living in a shared house or HMO is spreading up the country. Investment solutions have helped clients buy HMO’s and shared houses in place where previously there has been no such accommodation. The fact that they are the only provider of this sort of accommodation means a steady supply of tenants and a rent that covers all costs and up to 50% is left over as profit.

With property investing many people understand that the way to create wealth is to hold those properties for the long term. Even those that bought over priced property at the height of the property market will see capital appreciation over time. The big winners however will be those who bought at the right price in the first place. At Investment Solutions we have helped investors identify and negotiate the best price on investment properties and continue to offer these services.

After an initial consultation with a Investment Solutions consultant we will work with you to buy solid investment property in locations of your choice. Remember property investment is a business and not personal, we see many clients come to us wanting to buy properties near good schools, in nice areas i.e. properties they would live in. However these may not be the sort of properties in your area that work as an investment. It may be that local authority flats are the only properties in your area that work as a self funding investment. At Investment Solutions we will act as your voice of reason and try to protect t you from the wrong investment decision.

Property will remain one of the best long term investments you can ever make. If you look at the Times rich list you will find that is the rich didn’t make their money in property they certainly buy property to hold their wealth.
