While you need to pay our fees upfront and show proof of funds of approximately £35,000 to enable us to secure a property on your behalf, most of the funds are not required until exchange of contracts, which usually take place around the end of month 5.

We offer an End to End service for remote investors, using our years of experience in the market to source the perfect property and then manage the process of purchasing, refurbishing and renting the property out. Our focus is on delivering an exceptional service and making the process as hassle free as possible.

The answer to this question is quite simple – Expertise and Time.

Why else would you pay anyone to do anything for you? If you have an issues, or if something goes wrong after our service is complete, we are on hand to help you resolve it – even if it is years later.

The key question to ask yourself is: Is it worth the risk of getting it wrong?

Although our process has been thoroughly mapped, there are many moving parts that all have to coordinate to ensure a smooth purchase – agents, solicitor, vendors, mortgage lenders and valuers to name a few. As a result, the timescales may vary quite a bit.

Typically, from the moment you decide to proceed with the investment to your first rent payment could take 6-8 months.

It is not a requirement to visit the property throughout the property investment process, and many of our clients may not have the time to make the journey once the property is tenanted. They consider the distance to be an asset, rather than an issue, as they can then consider the financial viability of the property investment without getting emotionally attached to it. That ultimately makes for a better, more hands-free investment.

If you decide to visit, you can take advantage of 2 options:

1. We regularly run city tours to help potential clients feel comfortable with the area and understand the types of properties we are purchasing. The cost is £595 per person including VAT. We show our clients a selection of properties that we are currently purchasing for clients or that are currently being marketed for sale.

2. The second option is for people who would like to see what they have agreed to purchase. Once clients have been onboarded and agreed to proceed with the purchase of a particular property, we are happy to accommodate a viewing of their property before exchange of contracts.

Unfortunately, it is rarely possible to view the property before agreeing the sale as good properties don’t tend to stay on the market long. In getting the best deal, speed is of the essence, hence we collect all the purchase documentation during the onboarding phase.

When we started the business, we were looking for a cities that could give us a great rental return, as well as the potential for above average capital returns over a 20-year investment period.

Northern cities, such as Leeds and Sheffield, offer just that.

We use a management partner to let and manage the majority of our own, as well as our clients’ investment properties. They have been in the industry for a number of years and have a proven track record of achieving the best rents, finding quality tenants, and ensuring a hassle-free experience for our clients.

We have vetted and trialled over 20 managing agents in Leeds since we began investing, and intimately understand the value they add to ensuring both yours and our property investments are safe and profitable.

However, for your peace of mind, we conduct an annual review to make sure they are the best match for our clients’ needs, and are always on hand to help if there are any issues after our service has completed.

We always have our pulse on the market, and so we guarantee the amount at which we expect the property to be initially rented for.

Our management partner is excellent at collecting rent and offer a full management service to ease the burden on our clients.

They also offer Rent Guarantee Insurance for £20 per month, which is very good value should you wish to further de-risk your investment.

Our service management fees vary depending on the service you choose and the number of properties you purchase.

The 3 Property, Full-Service package is our most popular, as it allows our clients to have a well-diversified mini portfolio, where typically, the rent on a single property covers the mortgages on 3 properties.

Our fees are:

1. Inclusive of VAT – there are no additional taxes to add

2. Fixed – they will not increase even if you get a better return than we expected

3. One-off – we do not take an ongoing fee from our clients

We source properties to help specific clients achieve their financial goals. As a result, our fees are due up front before we start the onboarding process to ensure that our clients are fully committed to the process before we start working on their behalf.

Our service to clients completes after the property has been tenanted, the rent has been received, and there have been no teething issues with the property or the tenant over the first month. We then do a formal close-off of the project and hand it over to our managing agent to look after for you.

We are always available if there are any issues down the line and are happy to help where we can.
