Buy To Let
Long-term investment solution
The UK property market can be volatile, especially in London. In Newcastle and the North East, however, house prices don't fluctuate much at all. This may not sound as exciting as the London market, but it does offer an opportunity for the buy to let investor.
​
The secret of property investment success in North East England is to find a property that needs work and take it on as a project. The improvement works will typically cost less than 50% of the value you can create. so there will be an instant paper profit.
​
This means that, if you remortgage the completed property at 75%, it's usually possible to cover the purchase price and the cost of the work done. The mortgage will be covered by the rental income, so your cash can be freed up for your next project or to re-invest elsewhere.
​
It's a simple philosophy and it works. You just need someone to find the properties and manage your investment. That's where Clarice Carr & Company can help.
