Why Property

Property is a tangible asset that gives people control over their future. Historically, residential property has doubled in price every 7 years and should therefore be viewed as at least a medium-term if not long-term investment. Although there will inevitably be short term fluctuations in market prices, property has always provided a consistent long term store of value for anyone who owns it.
There are a number of different reasons why residential values have seen such strong growth, but most of them come back to the simple economic principle of supply and demand - there is an overall shortage of suitable housing in most parts of the United Kingdom.
This housing shortage has been caused by a number of social and demographic factors, including:
House building at its lowest level since 1924, as the gap between supply and demand widens by 60,000 each year.

What are off-plan properties?

Buying 'off-plan' is when you buy a property that hasn't been built yet. You will be able to see a show home and view some plans, a model, or various artist impressions of the development, but you won't actually be able to see inside the home you are committing to.

How does buying off-Plan work?

In working directly with the developer, we have the opportunity of sourcing property before it is ever released to the general public. Therefore, we are obtaining property at the lowest price with a long build time. During this time, the value of the property continues to grow and in many cases, there is a potential growth of between 10% - 25% from the original price. People generally buy off-plan as an investment. Buying off-plan means that the purchaser often does not have to pay the balance for quite some time after signing the contracts. For all this time, the value of the property could be rising, and they still have not had to invest any more funds. There is an element of risk involved, but you get a better price to reflect this.

Do I need to be approved for a mortgage before purchasing an off-plan property?

For developments with build times of less than 6 months, we do recommend our clients to get an approval in principle. With developments having build time of more than 6 months, we put our clients in touch with our financial consultants nearer completion. However, new clients are advised for the first time to get a decision in principle before exchanging contracts.

Do I need to use your solicitors and mortgage advisors?

We would prefer it if clients used our associates for their legal and financial process, but this is not essential. This is because our network of business partners have been sourced and vetted by us. Because of this, we know what level of service our clients can expect when working with our associates. They understand our business process, which in turn makes the buying process very simple for our investors.

We have also negotiated a very preferential rate with all our partners. We do not take any third party commissions from any of these partners, and we also forward the negotiated discounts straight onto our clients.
