Investing in real estate has consistently been a favored option due to its tangible nature and the ability to have control over it. Over time, there is an anticipated steady increase in value, making it an attractive choice. Additionally, you can also enjoy monthly rental income. The UK currently faces a shortage of housing, and when the demand surpasses the supply, it creates an excellent opportunity for investment.
In the UK, all property sales must involve a UK solicitor. Your solicitor will only request a deposit after carefully reviewing your sales agreement and being satisfied with it.
Our commitment lies in ensuring the mortgage eligibility of all our new developments by engaging with multiple lenders prior to project acceptance. Nonetheless, this is contingent upon the individual unit and the buyer’s situation. When engaging with your consultant, it is important to specify whether you intend to use cash or a mortgage. For more detailed inquiries, please reach out to our team.
When it comes to visa matters, we help you reaching out to an immigration specialist, as this falls outside our area of expertise, given the potential yearly changes in visa criteria. Further details can be accessed here.
If desired, you can opt to have the rental assurance company fully manage and maintain your property. We provide a letting service and can support you in property management. Feel free to contact us for details on our management fees and services.
While MCG advises engaging a solicitor with knowledge of the project to streamline the buying process, you are at liberty to select any UK property solicitor of your choice.
Similar to any off-plan investment, your initial deposit will remain tied up during construction. Nonetheless, developers often provide interest on your funds until completion to mitigate this. Moreover, your property purchase is expected to appreciate in value during the construction period, resulting in capital appreciation. At MCG, we consistently strive to offer properties with excellent potential returns and capital appreciation. Although your funds may be temporarily tied up, they are continuously growing in value.
If the management company chosen by the developer stops operating, the developer will find a new company if needed.
The frequency of tenant and building checks depends on the managing firm, typically occurring every 4 months or more frequently if requested. All tenants undergo credit and reference checks and are required to provide a deposit of 5 weeks’ rent. Maintenance teams regularly inspect the communal areas as they are usually on site. At MCG, we can oversee your investment, and our Lettings Team will keep you regularly informed about the status of your investment.
Rental yields can fluctuate based on location and property type. The Northern Powerhouse presents an excellent investment opportunity, with regional cities in the north of England consistently offering rental yields above 6%. While yields may experience fluctuations, the buy-to-let market in these major Northern cities is poised for continuous growth due to the significant regeneration projects underway.
