Riding the Property Investment Wave

The current economic climate may have dampened the spirits of some in the property investing world, but there are silver linings to be found. David Coughlin, Managing Director of HBF Investments, explores the current residential property market and offers his insight into why the current market offers a unique time to buy, what investors should be looking for, what to buy and the yields that could be achieved. 

The property market in the UK has undoubtedly suffered due to the recession, but compared to other forms of investments, such as stocks and shares, investing in property is still a very viable option. In fact, there are still plenty of benefits to be had from buying property now – if you have the relevant knowledge and know how about where and what to buy.

The property market has hit rock bottom this year and, although this isn’t great for anyone trying to sell a property, it’s these unique circumstances that have created a prime opportunity for savvy property investors. In fact, investors are able to purchase property at 25% to 50% discount, which offers a fantastic property investment deal. For investors keen to make the most of the market situation, then now is a great time to purchase property.

Property discounts are available on a range of different types of residential property.

Outside London, many new build developers are selling properties at a discount and they can typically be purchased for 35% to 50% discount. In places like Leeds, Barretts have been selling off their stock, for example at the Echo development, for up to 40% to 60% off previous list prices.

Lenders are very willing to sell repossessed portfolios at 25% to 40% discounts. Individual residential property vendors are willing to accept 20% to 30% off the asking price for a quick sale, even when they’re not in financial difficulty.

Exactly what investors should buy will depend on their own investment portfolio and property investment aims. If they’re interested in discounted property, then there are some really good deals on quality tenanted property available, many of which can’t be sourced through traditional estate agents and need the help of a specialist company, like ours, to acquire. 

The yields are now fantastic and stand at about 8% to 12% for many northern towns. This is especially true for three to four bedroom terrace houses that can be purchased for a discount for around £60,000 to £80,000. The local housing allowance (which increases as the number of bedrooms increase) will pay on average £500 to £750pcm – in some cases, a figure that’s far higher than private lets – which gives investors both security of rent and great yields. With mortgage rates standing at about 6%, investors end up with a healthy profit.

Not surprisingly, London still seems to be a location that many property investors are interested in, but there are very few rock bottom deals to be had in the city. Many investors are still willing to pay a premium for property in London and seem keen to buy without a discount, as long as the yield is good (8% to 10%) 

Generally speaking, we find there is also a lot of interest in property in all southern locations. In the north, properties are generally easier to source and there’s a lot of choice for investors in the North West and North East, where prices are cheaper. We’ve noticed that investors want to balance their portfolios by purchasing properties in potentially higher growth and more affluent areas in the south with lower priced and higher yielding properties in the north.

By and large, we only see lower interest in poorer northern towns and very remote areas where properties are difficult to rent.

At HBF Investments, we’re currently seeing a massive upturn in investors wanting to buy into the property market. In fact, with the increased demand, many sourcing companies and investors are reporting a lack of available property stock. This reflects what is being seen by estate agents and is slowly driving up property prices as a whole.

However, a lack of mortgage lending means that it’s still only a very small group of investors who are able to fully take advantage of the current discounts available to property buyers. When mortgage lending begins to return to normalised levels, the 20-255% discounts being achieved currently will begin to reduce and prices will start to increase again. 

The overall situation we’re seeing today creates a great opportunity for savvy investors to buy in at the bottom of the market at great discounts and catch the next wave of price increases – a scenario that only comes around once or twice in an investor’s lifetime. The question is, will you be riding that wave?

 - Complete ‘Armchair Investment’ Package Offered!

Property investors, portfolio builders and businesses looking for access to repossessed stock, tenanted properties and Sale and Rent Back purchases would be wise to turn to HBF Investments.

With the market at rock bottom and prices low, property investors are in a unique position of being able to purchase property at 25% discount. HBF Investments have this high on their agenda and are busy ensuring all their investors get the best possible property deals.

The company are actively purchasing properties from banks and receivers and selling them on to investors. In many cases, these are tenanted properties, and in others refurbished and tenanted. For investors wanting to avoid periods when a property is left without tenants, then tenanted properties can offer an ideal investment, as tenants are already in place.

“Investors are able to see how the current tenants have looked after the property and have actual information about them, such as their rent history, credit details and employment,” explains David Coughlin, property expert and managing director of HBF Investments.

In a similar way, HBF Investments are also licensed to provide Sale and Rent Back purchases, where sellers can rent back their property and the buyer immediately has tenants. For home owners needing to free up some valuable cash, it’s a good solution and the investor benefits from immediate tenants, resulting in a win-win situation all round.

“We offer an A List service which provides investors with ready-tenanted properties in good condition. Builders are at hand if they’re needed and we provide the lettings agents too. It’s a complete ‘armchair investment’ package that could create real wealth for our clients.”

But it’s not just individual investors who can benefit from working with HBF Investments – there are many benefits to be had for businesses too.

“We’re currently working with IFAs to provide their investors with property investments, with Private Equity funders to buy in entire portfolios at distressed prices and with portfolio building companies to package tenanted deals for their investors,” explains David.

“We work with people who build specific investment portfolios for their clients and they value the fact that we’re reputable and deliver a quality product and service. It works like clockwork and enables us to scale up our supply of properties and for them to have a regular properties available.”

As David sums up, “The market is at its bottom and prices are set to increase by 30% in five years. The opportunity to buy at 25% discount will be gone soon – now is the time to buy property!”

HBF Investments – Press Release

HBFinvestors.com high yielding discount properties attract savvy investors

Forget doom and gloom – savvy property investors are making the most of the current economic situation and investing in discounted bricks and mortar.

There’s no doubt that the property market in the UK has suffered as a result of the recession, but wise property investors are looking beyond the negative aspects and seeing the distinct benefits in purchasing properties now.

Investors buying now, at the bottom of the market, are obtaining the best rental yields for over a decade. New build developers are selling properties at 50% discounts and residential properties are available at prices 25% less than through estate agents.

According to Dave Coughlin, managing director of HBF Investments, the unique market circumstances we’re seeing today have created a prime opportunity for savvy property investors.

“Investors are able to buy at the bottom of the market at 25% discounts, producing fantastic rental yields. This means people have lower mortgage payments and make greater profits from their purchase,” explains Dave. “Compared to other investment options, such as an unpredictable stock market and rock bottom bank interest rates, their property investments are much less risky and far more profitable.”

For individuals, it’s very difficult to source properties on the open market at such great value, so that’s where a knowledgeable expert company like HBF Investments comes in.

“HBF Investments provides highly profitable tenanted property at discounted prices not available on the open market through estate agents. The entire purchase and lettings process is managed by our expert sales progression team, so your purchase is a completely hassle-free and profitable armchair investment experience.”

If that’s not enough, HBF Investments also provide a letting, maintenance and refurbishment service too and, with tenants already in place, this means there’s no empty void or loss of money for investors. If a property needs to be refurbished, they’ve got the knowledge and contacts to sort it out immediately, so you don’t have to waste time finding contractors yourself. All in all, it’s the perfect package.

“As experts and purchasers of 300 properties ourselves, we understand the world of property investing and the issues that are important to investors and landlords,” concludes Dave. “For investors wanting to make the most of the market situation, then now is the time to invest in property.”
