Buy to Let Property Investment Due Dilligence


As with any investment, it is essential that prior to purchasing a property you carry out comprehensive research to ensure you are well informed on all aspects of your proposed investment. Our Investmnet property database is designed to help investors with this initial research and to make available a vast amount of information, allowing our members to make educated decisions about where and what to purchase to generate the type of returns they desire within the required timescale.

There are two major types of initial due diligence that every investor is recommended to undertake:

Due Diligence - The Investment
Firstly it's essential that the investment itself is in line with your expectations as an investor and that you can realistically achieve your expectations for the proposed investment.

Return On Investment/Risk Level
Typically early entry into emerging markets offers the highest return on investment but, in many circumstances, this is also associated with the highest levels of risk. As we deal with property that is primarily an investment vehicle and its only purpose should be to generate substantial returns for the investor. It is therefore essential for the investor to understand the entire purchase procedure from start to finish, including exactly what funds are required and at what stage of the purchase, allowing for accurate cash flow analysis and maximum financial leverage.

Our advisors can help with all aspects of your investment and recommend our professional financial partners to work with investors on strategy calculations. However we insist that every investor looks at an investment in detail and seeks advice where needed to ensure it is completely suited to their individual investor requirements.

If a market is expected to offer continued growth, it is important that as an investor you understand what the "market drivers" are for this growth. Some common "market drivers" are listed below:

Location
This is always a major factor with any property investment. The location of an investment is directly linked to the return on investment an investor can expect from both capital growth and rental yields. We recommend that investors look at current property and rental prices in the direct and surrounding areas of any proposed investment to gain first hand knowledge of pricing and, where possible, they should personally visit the area.

Cost/Value
A property purchase is only an investment if it is purchased at the correct price, allowing for its value to appreciate and/or generate solid rental returns in proportion to its cost.

Infrastructure
An excellent sign of an investment property hotspot is when there are considerable infrastructural improvements being made to an area. Generally this includes local attractions, services and amenities, but also, and often most importantly, additional airports, ports and roads, as well as secure signs of growth and firm commitment by a local government to help improve an area.

Natural Factors
These are often the most obvious "market drivers". Many locations base their bid to increase tourism and property demand on the fact that the area enjoys excellent weather conditions and can offer stunning beaches, tropical views or are positioned next to a mountain ranges offering quality skiing conditions. These factors are obviously very important, but it is essential that other "market drivers" are also considered in association with these.

Tourism
Tourism is the primary factor that enables many emerging property investment locations to create a successful property market. With increasing low cost flight destinations and the world becoming effectively smaller, the door is open to many relatively unknown destinations that are beginning to offer new and exciting holiday destinations to tourists around the world. Today's tourist is after all willing to try new places after experiencing the same traditional locations for too many years.

Stability
With terrorism around the world on the increase and many political, religious and legal implications to consider it is essential that the stability of an investment location is considered prior to any investment. Political stability of a location can act as a very strong investment market driver.
