We
analyse the properties through the figures using
our experience to estimate accurately the rental
return in capital value, taking account of all the
various expenditures in purchase
and ongoing costs. Click on any of the above property

We buy properties in a range of areas, which
can be classified into 3 categories:
-
Mature markets (3.5%-5.5% Yields)
-
Emerging markets (6-7.5% Yields)
-
Immature markets (8-12% Yields)
Each market represents an increasing level of security.
The mature markets have lower yields because so
many people invest in them, which results in higher
supply and lower returns (yield). This is
also created
by the higher prices that buyers will pay for property
in these mature markets. On the other end of the
scale,
the
immature market
is an area that fewer investors will buy in because
it is more of an unknown. House prices are cheaper.
You have
less
room for error in this market and need greater
market knowledge to buy well.
We find that Edinburgh is a microcosm of Scotland/UK
in that it has every investment opportunity type
in miniature. There are the flats in run down city
areas that can still
be bought for £20,000 and there are the 5 bed
flats that cost £400,000+. The importance is
the quality of tenant and the ongoing rental performance
of the property.
Capital gain is important and so is a smooth occupancy
and cash flow.
We take all of these factors and more
into account, and fully discuss them with you in
order
to meet
your particular
investment needs.
