Investor Acquirement

Based on our consultations with you, we will produce a business plan for your buy to let business. A requirement for most lenders in the buy to let sector, this business plan helps give you a framework to grow your buy to let business and mould it to your ambitions within this sector.
We will help facilitate the most appropriate framework for your purchase and can give an overview of considerations whether you are buying as an individual or through a limited company.
To work alongside this business plan, we will help determine a checklist for potential purchases, keeping your search focused on criteria aspects.
We will then source potential properties, in line with your criteria, involving our geographical partners where appropriate.

As detailed in the service criteria above under ‘guiding’ and ‘proactive’, we will guide you on a ‘Go-To’ figure, negotiate the best price possible for you and then be the point of contact for all parties until completion.
