Frequently Asked Questions...
When can I expect deals?
We send out our deals to our mailing list every Tuesday at 11:30am. You can join our mailing list for free with no commitment by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.
Deals are going quickly, can I get any priority?
Yes, We have just launched our VIP members list, which you are welcome to join. There is a small fee of £19.99 per month which will gain you access to the deals 1 day before non VIP members. We will be sending out the deals to those on the VIP List at 1pm on Monday's. You are also entitled to a discount of 10% on all finders fee's whilst you are on the VIP members list.
Why do you charge a finders fee?
Within property investing, anything of true value doesn’t come free. We put a lot of time and effort into finding great investment's. Typically we may look at 50 properties which we then filter down to just a few properties that match our investment criteria.
What happens if the property falls through due to issues that arise from the survey?
We have an extensive viewing inspection form we use when we view property, all our sourcer’s have had considerable training on viewing properties. We will always carry out a full inspection however there will be occasions when we simply cannot access certain area on the property such as under the floor boards, lofts etc. If an issue arises at the point of survey which will require expensive repairs then we will liaise with the investor to assess the cost's, work involved and the return on investment after the cost's of repair. If the investor does not wish to proceed we will then work with them to find a suitable replacement. Please bear in mind survey report's can be a little daunting to the untrained eye. For example a recent survey came back which stated the property needed extensive damp and condensations treatments quoted at £18,999 by a industry leading damp firm. When we got a builder to quote for a treatment the price was just £4,997, which passed the lenders requirements. So we always recommend having a quote for the repair's before withdrawing from the property.
In simple terms, No. We will not release the property address, estate agent details, pictures etc until a fee has been paid. This is company policy to protect our invested time in sourcing the property. If you pay the fee and the property is not as we have described then you will be entitled to a refund.
Can I view the property before paying a reservation fee?
You are not going to be living there, this is an investment and you as an investor should be more concerned about the numbers not the appearance or location of the property. You might not want to live there but your tenant's are used to living in the location so for them it's home away from home. We invest using numbers and formulas and leave our feeling's out of it. A true investor doesn't care what the property looks like. They care about Return on Investment. Sometimes the most profitable properties aren’t the prettiest!
What if I don’t like the look of the property or the area?
We have done our due diligence on all of the properties we pass, We will only pass a property that our director's would personally buy. However this is an investment and investment's have risks. You should understand that rental income is not guaranteed and we are not liable whatsoever on future earnings and values. As with any investment there are risks you must assess before committing. We will provide you with as much information as we can prior to your decision.
What happens if I don’t get any tenants?
No, as an investor you should be familiar with the process of buying a property. Please speak with a broker prior to reserving any properties to establish if you can get a mortgage and to what level you may borrow. If you reserve a property then pull out we are then out of pocket and have an unhappy vendor who has trusted us to provide a quick and sometimes time sensitive sale. We can provide you with details of the mortgage brokers we recommend.
If I cannot get a mortgage can I get a refund?
Yes we have a great working relationship with various furnishing companies and will pass these details to any of our clients.
Can we help with furnishing's and dressing of multi-let properties?
No problem, we can assist with the whole process and you can if you want not even visit the property. Our whole idea is delivering “Connecting the Best London Property Deals to the Busy Professional for Effortless Investing!” we have many client's who simply reserve a property and then watch on from a distance, a turn-key investment. We deal with everything on their behalf. Please discuss with us if this option suits your investment plans.
I want to buy but be completely hand's off, can you take care of everything from conversion's to furnishing's?
Please call and discuss your exact requirement's, in this case we will set up a sourcing agreement. You will be charged a retainer fee and we will then credit this back via a reduced finder's fee. You will be added to our VIP Investor's list and will have full access to every property we find that meet's you criteria before we send to any of our list's.
I want to buy multiple properties, can you offer a discounted rate?
Please call the office and we can discuss a day rate for us to send one of our sourcer’s with you on your viewing day. They will assess each property as they would when sourcing for Browne & Nathan Limited. This is a great way to get a qualified second opinion and ensure you are buying a great investment.
