  18. The Product

  19. Property Management

  20. “Back in the mid 1990’s we could not find a management company we liked or trusted… so we started our own” As investors ourselves, we instinctively know what’s important

  21. Management– what makes us different 95% Occupancy *No 1 issue for landlords Tenant loyalty scheme Out of hours viewings We pre-let flats Rent PaymentIf tenants pay late, we still pay landlords on 15th ** Add valuee.g. video inventories, 24hr emergency repairs, property e-tours * From year 2 ** 1st month only) “ As investors ourselves, we took all the things that annoyed us … and did the opposite”

  22. We invest in people, training and systems Systems • New phone system records all calls (Quality and training) • New state of the art property system People • We invest heavily in training (ARLA, service, sales) • One point of contact … investment and account manager Behind the scenes we take care of everything from accounts, marketing, safety, compliance, repairs and inspections

  26. Performance – how to maximise Bank gearinggives tax and performance benefits • Interest ratesare still low • Gross yieldsare 6% min • Rental demand rising. A 5% rise in property values means a 25% return, if geared to 80% LTV

  27. Risks Property prices could fall Occupancy cannot be guaranteed Interest rates could rise … have a fallback. Do not invest 100%

  28. Buyers market… • Credit crunch effect Low confidence, large fall in transactions • Zero competition creates opportunity: Scotland– values remain level, we can buy at 10% discounts England– values down 10%, we can buy at 20 -25% discount • Fundamentals Housing shortage, growing pop. and Student market, low interest rates. • History shows the market moves ahead more quickly after a slowdown. (New Build not recommended – banks not keen to support.)
