Is there ever a “perfect” time to get into property?

The market changes, rates change and strategies change, but the opportunities are still there. It becomes about knowing what to look for, understanding the numbers and making the right moves.

There are still plenty of properties coming to the market that are in need of refurbishment creating the opportunity to add some value and provide a home for people to live in.

With the right knowledge these opportunities become clear despite the headlines.

At C&S we are actively seeking out and finding these opportunities. Through careful analysis of the numbers and utilising relationships with local estate agents.

If you’d like to know more comment PROPERTY to arrange a conversation.

Another day another viewing.
An auction property in need of a full refurb is always worth checking out.
The numbers made sense so a late afternoon viewing was made.
An offer will be put forward and we’ll see what can happens with this one.

It’s not always about bacon bap’s! 🤯
On a hot day like this a fresh cool bowl of fruit is very welcome.

Nearly forgot to take the ‘before’ picture.
I’d already started putting it on.

You've probably heard it. Buy-to-let is dead. Too much regulation, too much tax, not enough margin.

There's some truth in it. The easy money has gone, and the landlords getting burned right now are the ones who bought on hope instead of numbers.

But written off completely? Not so fast.

For most people, buy-to-let is still the most sensible way into property - if you go in with your eyes open and with the right knowledge.

For the past few months this is what I’ve been learning. How to make Buy-to-let work when others are leaving.

With the right research, the right structure, the right plan and the right people buy-to-let is still a fantastic way to profit through property.

At C&S we are actively looking for the right deals and the right people to work with. Projects and investment methods are flexible so if you’d like to find out more, and chat about how we can make property work for everyone, give us a call.

We’d love to chat with you.

Small job but same care and attention to detail.
It’s nice to have an easier day once in a while
