Property investment companies are quietly raising funds from investors to allow them to invest in depressed property values in some areas of the midlands. The key strategies for many companies is to focus on high yielding property investments typically with low capital values per unit. The key to turn a profit from these types of properties is to negotiate preferable rates with main contractors and go for high volume purchases.
This give you more leverage with negotiating purchase prices and all the suppliers that assist in the future refurbishment programs which are key to increasing capital values of property investments.
The other plus to a refurbishment of existing property portfolios, is the opportunity for increases in rental yields again this has the knock on effect of increasing capital values of investment property.
