RESIDENTIAL BUY TO LET
Developments must be competitively-priced within their target sector, in an area with a proven track record of rental yields. Acceptable locations must be in either prime residential areas with high levels of long-term demand, up-and-coming areas that are geographically close to more established markets, or areas that are set to benefit from major projects to improve infrastructure, transport connections or employment prospects.

HOLIDAY BUY TO LET
Exceptional developments in fantastic tourist destinations, which offer a balance between investment performance and the enjoyment of a lifestyle choice. We are interested in all types of holiday destinations - beach, ski, golf & country - but the project must have a wow-factor that is hard to replicate. Ideally, all projects will also be front-line to the main leisure attraction, and resorts with a year-round climate, or summer and winter seasons are most in demand.

LAND SUBDIVISIONS
Land-banking opportunities for the small investor are increasingly popular. Of particular interest are plots in exceptional locations in countries and areas with strong predicted growth, particularly where the investor can choose whether to build or simply hold on and wait for the asset to appreciate in value.

LAND FOR DEVELOPMENT
We offer larger-scale land-banking opportunities for developers looking to acquire assets in emerging markets, whether for immediate development, or as part of a longer-term acquisition strategy. The existence of local partners who can deliver infrastructure improvements, improved zoning or density agreements will help make such sites more attractive.

PROJECT FINANCE
If you have an attractive investment project, preferably where you have a strong track record for project managing developments to completion, or are able to contribute sufficient equity to satisfy our various partners, we may be able to assist with project finance for all types of commercial and residential finance. Deal structures can be equity-based, pure lending, or a mixture of the two.

OTHER FEATURES WE LOOK FOR:

• Exclusive Projects
  We like to be first to market with our products and therefore prefer to act either as exclusive agents in the UK, or with a specified allocation of units for a fixed period of time (between 1 and 3 months).
• Attractive Payment Terms
  We always try to negotiate for a lower initial deposit payment and more favourable stage payments for our investors.
• Project Size
  Project size must be in line with local supply and demand economics. In many cases, projects with fewer than 100 units are optimal, though from time to time we do find much larger projects where the merits of the investment case stack up and warrant consideration.
• “Early Bird” Discounts & Incentives
  We try to negotiate a number of units offered at an initial discounted rate or other incentives for investors, such as free furniture packs, refunds on the cost of viewing trips etc.
• Innovative Finance
  Where finance is locally available, we try to put in place deals with low interest rates, interest-only mortgages, the ability to agree a mortgage but delay repayments (and ideally the roll-up of interest) until completion and other such features of a mortgage product.
• Property Management Services
  Investors rightly feel more comfortable about their purchase when they know that the rental side of the business is being taken care of by an established partner who can look after letting and management at competitive rates.
• Rental Pools Or Guarantees
  Rental pool predictions must be based on realistic occupancy rates, while guarantees should be based on contracts with rental partners, as opposed to margin added on to the development costs.
• Discounts For Bulk Purchase
  For bulk buyer investors seeking to acquire a number of units, we try to ensure that there is a scale of discounts that will apply.
