Our Purchasing Criteria
As property investors we seek to add value to a property when we purchase. We carefully evaluate several key factors to identify opportunities with the greatest potential for enhancement and increased returns. Here are some of the aspects we typically look for:
Location: A prime location is essential for maximising property value. We seek properties in areas with strong demand, proximity to amenities, good transport links, and potential for future development or gentrification.
Potential for Improvement: We look for properties with the potential for renovation, re-modelling, or expansion. This includes outdated properties in need of modernisation, properties with underutilised space that can be converted, or buildings with unused land suitable for development.
Market Trends and Demand: We analyse market trends and demand drivers to identify areas where property values are expected to appreciate. Understanding demographics, employment trends, and lifestyle preferences helps us pinpoint locations with high growth potential.
Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): Conducting a thorough comparative market analysis allows us to assess the property's value relative to similar properties in the area. This helps us determine if there is room to add value through improvements or if the property is undervalued compared to its peers.
Rental Income: For income-generating properties, we evaluate the potential rental income relative to the purchase price and renovation costs. Properties with the potential to generate positive cash flow or achieve higher return on investment improvements are particularly attractive.
Structural Integrity and Condition: Assessing the structural integrity and overall condition of the property is crucial. We look for properties with sound foundations and minimal structural issues, as extensive repairs or renovations can significantly impact profitability.
Local authorities and Regulations: Familiarizing ourselves with local council regulations and planning restrictions is essential, especially if we plan to make significant alterations or additions to the property. Compliance with local authority laws ensures that our investment remains viable and avoids costly delays or fines.
Exit Strategy: We consider our exit strategy from the outset, whether it involves selling the property for a profit after renovations, refinancing to extract equity, or holding for long-term rental income. Having a clear exit strategy helps guide our investment decisions and maximises returns to our investors.
By carefully evaluating these factors and conducting thorough due diligence, we can identify properties with excellent potential for value enhancement and strategic investment opportunities.
