How I work
Initial brief
During our initial consultation, we will discuss your investment goals to customise my advice accordingly. Drawing on my expertise, I will guide you through the current market conditions and pinpoint areas that best align with your property investment goals. At this stage, we will engage in conversations with solicitors, accountants, surveyors, mortgage brokers, and architects to ensure a comprehensive approach to your investment strategy. This collaborative effort helps streamline the process and ensures that all aspects of your investment plan are thoroughly considered.
Shortlist properties
I conduct thorough research and arrange viewings to identify and locate properties that meet your criteria. Leveraging my extensive industry connections, I can gain access to investment opportunities before they are marketed on major property portals. I will provide you with the information that is both relevant and essential for comparison.
The conveyancing
This process begins when the offer submitted to the sellers, or the property agents representing them, is accepted. I will continue my advisory work by collaborating with all professionals involved in the property transaction. My goal is to facilitate a seamless purchase process, guiding you through every step until the completion day, and beyond.
Finding tenants and managing the property
After the purchase, I will assist you in selecting the most suitable property management service for you. I will never pair you with a random property management, instead, I will guide you towards the one that I deem ideal based on your needs, ensuring that the professionals handling these aspects are precise and punctual in delivering impeccable service.
Market appraisal
If you have undertaken renovation work to enhance your property, arranging a market appraisal is essential to determine the value of your renovated property investment. An updated market appraisal helps you understand the return on your investment and informs future decisions regarding your entire property portfolio.
Growing your portfolio
Once a property transaction is completed, you might consider your next investment. At this point, you’ll evaluate your entire portfolio and all the updated information about the current condition of your properties. These updated assessments will allow you to strategically expand and diversify your property portfolio.
