There are multiple ways of holding a property. Today, we’ll be talking about leaseholds and freeholds.

Hop on and read on with us!

Freehold means that you are in possession of the building and the land it is built on. At the same time, you are fully responsible of maintaining the building and the land that make up the property.

Generally, most houses are freehold properties. Nevertheless, not always. Some are leasehold properties (which we explain below).

In contrast to freehold, leasehold is slightly more complex.

A leasehold is where you are given the right to use a property or part of a property for an extended period time.

Typically, a leasehold arrangement is used for flats and commercial buildings.

A commercial lease can grant you the right to use the property for an extended period of time, whilst paying an agreed upon rent to the freeholder during this period.

In most residential cases, a leasehold means the owner of the land and the owner of the building differ, which is why flats have to pay ground rent over the period of the lease.

2021 is about to wrap up, and many are wondering… What’s in store for the housing market in 2022?

One of the key factors highlighted by Zoopla is that search for space caused by the pandemic has further to run.

In their most recent research, Zoopla stated that 22% of people currently want to move, significantly higher than the usual 5% in a normal market.

The high levels of equity homeowners have built up during the past 18 months and the shortage of homes on the market is expected to support house price growth through 2022.

On the other hand, the rising cost of living, combined with an expectation that mortgage rates and taxes will rise next year, will impact affordability.

House price growth is expected to end 2022 at 3%, with growth likely to be strongest in the East Midlands and North West and weakest in London.

Transaction levels are expected to fall by 20% to 1.2 million, in line with the long-running average but still comparatively high compared with the past decade.

Income always plays an important role in our goals, but is it really the uptime goal?

Not for everybody! In fact… in most cases, people value time and freedom over money alone.

Property is a great way to create enough income to build long term wealth and positive cash flow that could allow you to free up your time and live life in your own terms.

Today, we’ll be talking about remortgages; what they are and why you may be interested in starting this process.

First things first... This it NOT financial advice and shouldn't be taken as such. This is for educational purposes only

Read on to find out more 👇

All that being said, what is a remortgage?

A remortgage is a process through which apply for a new mortgage with a different lender for the property in question. This is applicable to investment as well as residential properties.

But the real question is, why would you be interested in remortgaging a property?

The answer is pretty straightforward, a remortgage is a way to release equity.

After refinancing a property, usually, it is because it's now worth more than what you originally invested at the time of purchasing it.

There are different ways through which a property's price can increase- by refurbishing it and adding extra value, by buying BMV and refinancing for a larger price or simply by capital growth.

Buy, Refurbish & Refinance (also known as BRR) is a property strategy focused around remortgaging an investment property after adding value to it.

According to Zoopla, rents outside of London rose at quickest rate in over a decade.⁣

The regular price of renting a home in the UK, excluding the capital, now attains at £790/month, costing tenants an additional £456 a year. ⁣

The steep increase has been driven by renters returning to cities. But the surge in tenant demand has not been met by an increase in the number of homes to rent, forcing rents higher.⁣

Excluding London, rents in the UK have increased by 5% in the last year, the highest level Zoopla’s index has ever seen and more than double the 2.2% rise recorded in January.⁣

The south-west saw the biggest increase, with the cost of being a tenant jumping by 7.6% year-on-year. It was followed closely by the East Midlands at 6.8% and the north-east at 6.5%.⁣

Not long ago, we talked about flips and how they work. ⁣

Today, we want to outline a few tips that will help you improve your property flipping strategy.⁣

But, before we begin… there’s a disclaimer we need to pin. This is NOT financial advice, just a post of educational type (hope you enjoyed the little rhyme). ⁣

Now back to the subject.⁣

If you don’t remember how flips work, the key steps of flipping a property are buying it BMV (below market value), refurbishing the property to increase its value and finally selling it on to someone for a profit. ⁣

Now, practice is a bit more complex than just that. There are a few things you want to get right 👇⁣

1️⃣ First of all, you should figure out what is your price range, property type and who the end buyer is. This will give you a solid idea of the costs you’ll incur in and the potential end value of the property. ⁣

2️⃣ It is critical to get your numbers right. In most cases, property investors would miss out on a lot of costs and end up putting more cash that they forecasted, even losing some at the same time. ⁣

How do you prevent this from happening to you? By doing in depth due diligence on the property, refurb prices, end value and realistic expectations. ⁣

3️⃣ Make sure the demand for properties of a certain spec and price range in the area is right before embarking on any project.⁣

4️⃣ Finally, build a refurb team. This will make the process easier as you will have professionals working on the project, which will save a lot of your time.⁣

Let’s Talk About… Strategy!⁣

And I know what you’re all thinking… ‘What’s the best property investment strategy?’⁣

That is, probably, the most common question we get asked in our line of work, however, it is framed around the wrong concept.⁣

Let me tell you why;⁣

There is no such thing as a ‘good’ or a ‘bad’ property strategy. How you see a strategy is directly linked to what you are looking to achieve through that strategy. ⁣

To reframe the question, so one strategy may be better than another one, just based on how good a fit it is for your own objectives. It does not mean the strategy itself is good or bad.⁣

I would encourage you to phrase it in a different way…⁣

‘What is the best property investment strategy for me?’⁣

When setting a strategy, there are 3 things I like to consider:⁣

✅ My WHY: my drive, the motivating factor leading me to take action and to select a specific strategy.⁣

✅The HOW to my WHY: the path I am deciding to take, the route to my destination and the steps I need to take to get there.⁣

✅The WHAT to my WHY: the vehicle to get me from my current location to the destination I want to get to.⁣

All of the factors mentioned above are linked to your internal values; the reason you do things, the steps you are willing to take to achieve your goals and the vehicle that will get you to your final destination.⁣

But it all starts with WHY.⁣

Find a strategy that matches your why and helps you achieve your greater purpose, before choosing a strategy that only helps you achieve your financial commitments.⁣

Hope you’ve enjoyed the post, and don’t forget to let me know what’s your why, and how are you linking it to your property strategy? Comment below⁣

A sometimes underrated, and lesser-known strategy, assisted sales have proved to be a highly effective technique for many property investors.⁣

An assisted sale is basically helping the owner of the property to sell it by joint venturing with them, and refurbishing the property without even owning it. ⁣

It is a good opportunity to help the owner sell quickly for a mutual financial benefit, when the property is not worth flipping.⁣

To break it down in three simple steps:⁣

1️⃣ You present the proposal and agree terms with the owner⁣

2️⃣ The owner relocates so you can start works and refurb the property⁣

3️⃣ Once the property is sold, you split the profits as per your initial agreement ⁣

There are great advantages to this strategy:⁣

✅ No need to take out a mortgage or bridging loan⁣

✅ You don’t pay Stamp Duty⁣

✅ Usually provides a good ROCE (return on capital employed)⁣

UK house prices have nearly tripled since 2001, with the value of the average property climbing by a huge £163,700.

According to Zoopla; Kensington & Chelsea in West London has been named the number one property hotspot for long-term house capital appreciation.

Properties in the small, though rather exclusive, borough have escalated by nearly £740,000 in the past 20 years, making it the single top-performing area for house price growth of any region in England since 2001.

It means that the average cost of a property in Kensington & Chelsea now stands at £1.1m, after prices rose by £380,200 since 2011 and £739,800 since 2001.

St Albans and Elmbridge saw the strongest growth in the East of England and South East respectively, with property prices climbing by more than £402,000 in both locations over the past 20 years.

Trafford, in Manchester, boasted the biggest house price rises in the north west.
