UK Real Estate News, Hints & Tips

Have you been thinking about taking the plunge into property? If so, right now, is the right time. This is good news as despite recent falls house prices are set to rise and rental demand and returns are getting higher every day. In addition, given Land registry data states that in the past 5 years property prices overall in the UK have risen on average by 21.5%: - and in 10 years by a whopping 73.4%, property remains and always will be, one of the most secure and safest investments one can make. However, staying informed and seeking expert advice is a must. It is prudent to have the knowledge and skill at hand to navigate the market effectively to be able to leverage your hard-earned savings and the many options available – many of which most probably don’t know about, that can maximise your investment potential. Also, you will need to know how the new Labour Government policies will affect this and what one can take advantage of and of what to watch out for.

The answer is to partner with me, to take advantage of my extensive knowledge, skill and experience. I will introduce you to the secrets of how to make property investing extremely profitable at any level of investment by either investing for a great interest rate return, or joint venturing So, there should be nothing holding you back.

Confused people say no. We all know just how good investing in property is, and especially today. Along with gold, it is the safest way of securing one’s wealth. Other investment options like stocks, bonds, fixed deposits in the bank, mutual funds, digital or crypto currency are available to park your money. But out of all of these, property investment still remains one of the most secure and beneficiary avenues for a long term, profitable form of investment. After all everybody needs a place to live and now is the best time to kickstart your property journey. Over time it will always appreciate in value, provides tax advantages and presently with a very strong demand for rental properties, it can generate good cash flow. Moreover, one is able to use leverage by investing just a small portion of one’s own money. But let’s face it, when one discusses property, it can be quite confusing – especially when one is shown the specific methodology of utilising different strategies, many of which some will not have heard of. For example, securing a property worth say 500K or 1M for around £1,500 or less with no mortgage and no deposit. I hear people ask, how is that possible? That’s why I here to help. All you need is the desire and the commitment. By partnering with me, you get to take advantage of my extensive knowledge, skill and experience. I take all the fuss out of property investing and introduce you to the secrets of how to make property investing extremely profitable at any level of investment by either investing for a great interest rate return, or joint venturing individually or as part of a syndicate. Therefore, there should be no reason to be confused anymore – or say no. I make easy, simple and stress free. You just get to sit back and reap the rewards.

What’s stopping you from investing in property? It can be a little scary if you believe what they tell you on the news. So, I just quickly wanted to quickly address some potential reasons and the solution. There will never be a “wrong time” to purchase property as an investment and by waiting until the ‘right’ time, you could be missing out on a golden opportunity. Property always rises and falls but it always rises more over time and in the meantime, rents have and will continue to soar. The answer therefore is to invest long term and knowing that the logical strategy is to get in now, while you can still get a good discount on the purchase price. So, do you really have to ask yourself do you really want to have your money sitting in the bank for yet another year, being eaten away by inflation? You only need very little to invest with to begin. Some could be fearful, doubtful, worried about the stress, the hassle, the risk and having no time to invest and that this can easily make you feel anxious and overwhelmed. For example, you may ask what if the property does not rent? Since we only invest in areas of high demand and refurbish our properties to a good standard, they are usually snapped up within the first few weeks. Some may be thinking that you could do it yourself and I get that. But even if you had the knowledge of what to do and how to do it, isn’t your time more valuable. And what about getting it wrong? That could leave you with a liability that costs you money every month, instead of an asset that increases in value every year. My simple unique model takes care of everything and removes the stress and hassle of investing And let’s be honest you could be asking can I trust you? After all you would be trusting me with your hard-earned savings, and also your financial future. The answer lies in my core values of transparency, integrity and professionalism. Clients know exactly what they will be getting before we start, and it’s all tied up legally. We sit down together to understand your story and what you are trying to achieve and to nurture the feeling that we are in this venture together and that your success is our success. So, all you need is the desire and commitment. Ignore the noise and have the right team behind you. Its that simple. Let’s set up a call to discuss.

How would you like to make money from property without buying it? Plus, very little money is required to start and become profitable with consistent recurring cashflow within a few months. Its called Rent to Rent. It’s simple all you or someone you know who wants to take advantage of this, is to partner up with me. I will source a property to rent and manage it with a contract that gives us control of the property usually for 3-5 years. I do it all for you. We pay the owner a guaranteed rent and take on the bills. Then we rent the property to other tenants for a higher rent than we are paying the owner. The difference between the rent we receive from our tenants and the rent we pay the owner after property costs is the profit. There are basically 4 types – Rent to single Let, Rent to HMO, Rent to Serviced Accommodation (for tourists or companies needing accommodation for employees, and Rent to Supported Living. Best of all you will need is on average between 7 and 12,000 to begin. Income depends on the type but over 3 years each property should generate approximately 50, 000 each. So, you can see it does not take long to replace your salary or make a sizeable additional income without lifting a finger. So, I am looking for anybody with a little cash to take advantage of this amazing property strategy. Interested lets set up a call to discuss. Ph 01 332981666 or email dennis@mauinvestments.co.uk

Did you know there is a way of selling a property for over market value and immediately get a guaranteed rental income without any voids or hassle of managing tenants? The answer is simple. If selling, I can offer what is called a Purchase Lease Option where I can give the full market price or a little more to be paid in an agreed time frame. This means the seller gets protection against having to continually reduce their property to sell plus will get guaranteed rent. Plus, I can cover the mortgage if needed. Or if the owner wants to keep the property, I can offer guaranteed rent without the stress. In both situations all maintenance and expenses are taken care of by me. So, if you are a property owner who want to exit the market and sell and maybe sick of mortgage interest rates being too high, or simply tired of the hassle of tenants and new legislations involving them or simply had enough let’s talk. Or if you are a property owner who owns a second property who may have neither the time, experience or knowledge of how to maximise rent and the many options available and who still want benefit from a rental income without the hassle lets also talk.

When you would really like to invest in property but perhaps don’t have enough spare cash to do so, why not team up with some other like-minded potential investors or mates? There is power in numbers and by working with a team you will be able to achieve your goals and profit from a property portfolio in no time at all. Talk to me today about how you can join a property investment syndicate to Joint venture on a property development. An example of that is a property the property I sourced last week. Purchase price is 130K and it requires a 25% deposit and buying costs – in total all that will required is only 60K. We can fund the refurb of 100K. This will give it an end value of approx. 340K, which will mean a profit or uplift in equity of approx. 110K. And here is the good part all you would need is to team up with say 3 other investors with 20K each, to secure this property and then be able to profit from it by flipping or keep it and rent it out and refinance and pull the money out to get another. Interested? Then lets set up a call to discuss 01 332981666 or email dennis@mauinvestments.co.uk

Exciting news is coming out of the UK property market, recent reports indicate a promising outlook for property investors, with several positive trends that could impact your investment decisions. UK Inflation at 2.3% is at a 3-Year Low: This marks a stable economic environment, ideal for property investments. Rising House Prices: Average house prices in the UK have increased by 1.8% over the past year, signalling a recovering and healthy property market. This growth indicates strong demand and potential for capital appreciation. Strong Rental Demand: Despite rising rents, the UK continues to see high rental demand. Private rents have increased by 8.9% over the past year, ensuring steady rental income for investors. An example of that is a property I sourced today for a client. The purchase price of 130K will required a 25% deposit and buying costs or in total funds required will only be 70K, as we will be able to fund the refurb of 100K, and it will give it an end value of approx. 330 to 340K, which will mean a profit or uplift in equity of approx. 100K. We can then flip it or keep it and rent it out and refinance to get another. Point is now is the time to move, to still be able to grab good deals before prices rise again.

Should I invest in property on my own? Yes, you can do it on your own and there is nothing wrong with that but consider how an expert professional team can save you time and money. You don’t know what you don’t know. Getting it wrong and often paying over the market value will cost you more. Many want to cut corners not knowing the effect it can have and it’s shown that it can cost you double in extra work and lost rent – not to mention the stress. Do it well – and do it for do it long term. Also often buying cheap makes sense in your head. However, you need to do your homework. The cheapest often is in areas of antisocial behaviour, high crime, and poor schools. You get the wrong tenants. They trash your house and stop paying you rent. You end up with a liability not an asset. The cheapest is not always the best. By partnering up with me together you will discover how to acquire secure and high performing properties. You will also learn how to do this and build your property portfolio easier, quicker and a lot more profitable than you thought possible.

Is Buy to Let investing dead in 2024? Some commentators would say yes – and they would be right but only if it’s done as a hobby that in the past would give you a bit of an additional income. Trouble is over the last couple of years of rising prices and last year with interest rates skyrocketing, resulting low yields most BTL’s have not become worth the time and energy – or money. But – BTL’s still offer great opportunities if done right – and as a business. As the saying goes go big or go home. One needs to invest at below market value (or wholesale) - in areas of good infrastructure and demographics coupled with low prices, high rental demand and higher yields not to mention a high return on investment. When you invest with Mau Investments you will discover where these properties are and only need minimal funds to get started on your own or with a couple of other likeminded investors. This means within a couple of years or so you will be able to build a sizeable portfolio that will provide a substantial monthly income and capital growth. And best of all is, you won’t have to do a thing. I can take care of it all. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the profits.

How can you buy multiple properties with just one deposit? I know that sounds crazy, buying properties with just one deposit but it’s possible and it’s how my investor partners quickly grow their property portfolio on limited funds. Most people put their deposit into a property, then sit back and with for the value to go up until they can refinance and take out the initial deposit. There is nothing wrong with this, but it can take years. And rather than putting your chunk of money into one property and getting stuck, you can recycle it. In fact, when you find out how to purchase unlimited properties, as long as you have one deposit, by purchasing below market value and maybe adding value and then refinancing, you can keep recycling to buy as many properties as you want - sometimes having enough capital to buy the next property for free. By partnering up with me together you will not only learn how to do this but also, we can build your property portfolio easier and quicker than you thought possible. So, if you are someone who has their savings wasting away in the bank or can release equity in their home, or perhaps has an inheritance, or are maybe going through a divorce, or redundancy or has a pension they can use, let’s set up a call to discuss. dennis@mauinvestments.co.uk or phone 01 332 981666

Most of us are only trading time for money which is not the path to financial security. The fact is only 5% will make it to financial independence. That means 95% will not have the income they require to live the lifestyle. Maybe its because they don't have the time, knowledge, resources or plan to do, so.. Some maybe don’t know who to trust or even simply fear to make a mistake. For many years privately I have helped property investors become one of the 5% and offer you the opportunity to join them. I have developed an easy method of property investing to allow you to create financial independence for yourself. That is because I firmly believe everyone has the right to be financially independent and free. Not just the 5% and property investment if done right, is the path to take to help you achieve this.

What are the demographic’s? What is the demand? 6. Who is your target market? For example: Students, working professionals or first home buyers? 7. Always search for below market value or off market properties to purchase. These will get you started but to do it right there are a lot more.

If you want a Standard BTL, you will will need have approximately £30,000 to £50,000 for buying costs, deposit, and basic refurb and on average you should depending on interest rate, achieve an average 8 to 12% Yield. If you want a HMO will need 150K – 200K for buying costs, deposit, and full refurb and on average you should depending on interest rate, achieve an average 15 to 20% Yield. This also involves a high cost of refurb. For a Commercial to Residential strategy you will also need 150K – 200K plus for buying costs, deposit, and full refurb and on average depending on how you structure the project should return a higher yield.

Sometimes this can be done with little or no deposit and simply do the paperwork to convert the leases. For this you will need approximately will need £30, 000 to £50, 000 plus any refurb costs.

Buying a property? If you’re not a first-time buyer, selling your own home first is a good place to start before you start searching for your next property as it will put you in a strong position as a buyer. Then work out your budget to see what you can afford. You’ll also need to check your credit report (there are a number of companies who do this online). Then find out the possibility of a mortgage with your broker, what’s required, what you can borrow and options available to you. If possible, try to get a Mortgage in Principle confirming an amount of money which a lender believes they would be able to lend you. Together with you deposit, it can give you an indication of the property price range you can search within. Take some time to research and get to know your chosen area. If you can, make sure you walk around the neighbourhood so you can get a sense of what it’ll be like to live there. Visit local estate agents in person to register your interest in the area. You may also contact me, to discuss how we can help especially if its for an investment. Then put in an offer that suits your budget and confirm your mortgage. The lender will arrange for a qualified surveyor to inspect the property as well as make sure that it’s a property they’ll lend against – moreover if a survey uncovers problems you may be able to negotiate a price cut to offset some or all of the cost of the work. The rest is easy – just leave it up to your solicitor to set up the exchange of contracts and completion and when that’s all done move in.

Did you know that the house that you own and especially if you own it outright, is not an asset – it’s a liability. All that money that your house is worth or paying off is sitting there earning nothing – plus its costing you in rates and insurance etc. Yes it may increase in value over time but it also can decrease as the property market is showing now. That means if you even if you are sitting mortgage free or even only half mortgage free, you could refinance by using your house as security to provide you with another property to provide an additional income stream. You could also do a renovation to increase its value and sell at a profit and perhaps downsize into another property. And even if you have no funds to renovate – no problem. We can help.
