Buying an Investment Property
The County Homesearch Sussex & Kent office is uniquely placed to advise on investment properties thanks to the extensive work we undertake for corporate clients relocating their employees into rental accommodation. We have first hand knowledge of exactly what corporate clients expect from their rental properties, which are the favoured locations and what rental values you can expect to achieve.
We are also able to ensure your cash flow takes full account of many of the hidden costs of being a landlord (i.e. voids, maintenance, service charges, agent’s fees) to ensure your investment gives you the net returns you require. Our service covers the following aspects:
- Detailed interview to fully understand client’s requirements in terms of property, location, budget, timescales and expected returns (capital growth and income).
- Area Advice vs. Budgets.
- Estate agent contact and Property Search.
- Preview of all suitable properties.
- Organising and accompanying our clients on block viewings of suitable properties at times convenient to our clients to ensure maximum time efficiency.
- Assessment of costs associated with letting properties of interest and net returns.
- Advice on negotiation strategy and undertaking negotiation.
- Recommendations of associated professionals – mortgage advisors, solicitors, structural surveyors, builders, interior designers, etc.
- Support and advice through to exchange of contracts.
- Recommendations of letting agents and introductions.
