Property Investment Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much money do I need to get started with property investment?

There is no definitive answer to this question as there are a number of factors that you will need to consider. First and foremost is the property you choose to purchase. Our prices range from student properties for just £85,000 to luxury apartments prices at over £400,000. You also must decide if you are purchasing with cash or a mortgage. There are some fixed costs that you can definitely expect when you invest – these include Stamp Duty and solicitor’s fees. The best way to get a definitive answer to this question is to get in touch with our team today and talk through your requirements.

Is it possible to lose money when investing in property?

Like any other investment venture, investing in property does come with its own set of risks and it is possible to lose money when you invest. The biggest risk with buy-to-let is external factors such as a financial crash or a slowdown in the economy, which could affect the value of your property. Another issue for landlords is when your property is experiencing a void period where it’s empty and not receiving rental income, however, the impact of this can be reduced with proper financial planning and budgeting when you invest.

How much can I expect my investment property to return on a yearly basis?

The amount you will receive on a yearly basis is defined as a NET return, or in other words, the value of your return with all associated costs deducted. This value is dependent on factors such as your gross rental income, property value, and the associated running costs, so it is impossible to give a definitive answer until you have chosen a property. A number of our available opportunities offer an ‘assured NET yield’ for a set number of years, which means that the agreed rental income figure will be guaranteed on the property for the specified period.
