Thus far, we have built up a portfolio of properties which provides a regular predictable income, and allows for capital growth over the long term.  This consists of studios, 1 and 2 bed flat across Central London, and high yielding shared houses for young professionals in Reading and Luton (upmarket HMO's).  As of 2018 and beyond, we are embracing a "buy, develop, sell" strategy as property developers, using a blend of our own capital, private investor funds and bank finance.  

The following encompasses our criteria for finding the right projects:

• Location within a 20 mile radius from Chiswick West London.

• Either commercial or existing residential, capable of being converted to residential accommodation: usually into smaller units (studios, 1 or 2 bed flats). It may involve buying an existing property which is demolished, to start again from the ground up.

• Demonstrable value to be added via planning gain, extensions, building on new land, or splitting into separate titles.

• Ensure a minimum of 20% margin on cost, with all costs accounted for, including finance costs and sale costs. This ensures that there is sufficient margin to be able to withstand any unexpected outcomes (e.g. unforeseen costs, dip in the market).

• Projects that will be between 12-18 months long, from purchase to completion of sales.

• Ensure that with any new project, we have different exit options, which allow for initial planning applications not succeeding in their entirety for example. We will not buy properties with vastly inflated "hope" value.
