Sourcing Buy To Let
Potentially, every house on the market today is a ‘buy to let’ property and every property that has tenants in it was arranged on a ‘buy to let’ mortgage. Given that we are, by the nature of our company, at the heart of the ‘buy to let’ sector we are in a superb position to obtain for you not only the proposition of your choice – but also of your expectation.
Choice is a very salient point as we have now seen the model of Off-Plan Development based ‘buy to let’ packages to be the unworthy investment that they are. We do not believe that it is wise nor prudent to pay for something in which a developer and an estate agent have colluded to sell a property for investment in which a large proportion of the future growth potential has already been absorbed. In many cases the immediate cash return from renting the property will not even cover the mortgage. Such investments are short term and short lived.
There is a simple defence against these ‘smoke and mirrors’ style operations and it’s this. Before you make any decisions you need to ask yourself two pertinent questions. Why are you investing and what are your investment options. Even a cursory glance at a dubious proposition with the emotion, fear and sentiment removed will show it up for the white elephant that it truly is.
Why?
A correctly assessed investment will provide one or both of the following. It can provide a stable source of regular income and as time passes your investment may increase in value. You may wish to invest in property instead of loading up your pension scheme. Pensions have performed very badly in the last few years and property investment is now one of the best forms of tax efficient capital growth.
What are your Options?
It is important to remember that our success is based upon your success. The service that we offer is not only fully integrated but also grounded firmly in long term objectives. In the past we have noticed that the process of sourcing an opportunity, the immediate realisation of any potentially added value and the long term asset management process have all been fragmented.
We tell you everything that we need to hear - others will only tell you what you want to here.
Choosing the right agent to source and manage your property is critical and what could be a better indicator of intention than to work with people who are building up their portfolios alongside yours. The experience, training, knowledge and business models that we use for ourselves we apply to you. If we would not proceed with an investment – why would we want you to? Why are we not taking advantage of our own deals? Well, we are. One at a time – ad infinitum. We make the last deal work before moving onto the next one.
At Let-Me, we take pride in every deal and that pride coupled with our long term ethos and integrity is what you will be investing in.
In many instances a property will become available and the capital growth opportunity will be on many different levels. A property in poor condition may become available and it may be from a distressed Landlord who must sell at all costs. By obtaining such a property and making an immediate sensible investment it is possible to release an instantaneous profit from the increase in equity. This has the benefit of not only releasing immediate cash but that cash can be used to reduce the loan cost and increase monthly rental return yields. Finally, if the equity is kept in the property then the yield on that equity is increased exponentially. This entire process is referred to as ‘gearing-up’. We would like to remind you that we have a flourishing Property Management department and that facility has been actively used to turn round properties ready for rental in very short spaces of time and to a high standard. At any given time we extend that service to our investors. Our in-house contractors and our sub contractors regularly turn carbuncles into high rent and low maintenance investment rental hot tickets.
The most popular use of increased equity, by far, is to take the lump sum released from a previously successful deal and use that money to obtain the next property. This is the foundation of long term capital growth and the only caveat that we will offer here is that you should only move onto the next deal once the previous one has been fully stabilised. In the event that you achieve a portfolio of multiple units it is our experience that a single rash, ill considered and badly managed investment will cause a financial shift that can place undue pressure on your other positively performing properties.
We will provide a barrier between you and the consequences of any ill considered formulas that you may be tempted to follow. Whilst we will not actually break your fingers to prevent you signing up to an albatross shackled around your neck we will strenuously countenance against the action. There are very few negative decisions that can’t be altered by the application of a short sharp rational explanation of the dire effects of a certain course of action. If that doesn’t work we always keep a bucket of cold water in the corner of our conference room.
From our perspective the process of sourcing a ‘buy to let’ property begins with a full understanding of the clients requirements from where we can then put forward a set of applicable options. Once you have been assigned a dedicated consultant that person will be your single company contact as most people do not like being past from pillar to post. Development budgets, income projections and end values are all handled by your Let-Me Project Manager.
Our approach to sourcing property is pro-active and we use innovative designs and methods to bring your investment to the market in a form that that meets demand. Our process is tailored to release the maximum fiscal potential for our investors from the original property acquisition, design and refurbishment all the way through to its rental and property management. Optimum returns from integrated services are best described as Let-Me’s basic principles and operating ethos. We would like to think that you will come to value us as much as we value you.
