A couple of years ago I decided to get into property investment. It was at what turned out to be the height of the recession, but I had a couple of friends who worked in forecasting, and they seemed to think that the property market would struggle for a long time to come. That’s always great news if you are looking to buy, and I had funding from a wealthy backer.
I wanted to make sure that all of my property was in London so that I would be able to personally oversee my investments as they went through their refurbishments or they were rented out. It just made sense to me to keep everything in one place in terms of keeping costs down and logistics.
Unfortunately, a few months in, I started to discover how difficult it was to conduct business of this nature in London. It is just very difficult to be able to find the property to buy. I think it is because it is such a big place. You can’t just happen across the right property – you need to be in the know.
I did a bit of research into the whole thing online, and while I was searching for information, I came across a great company who had access to a massive amount of Investment Property London. This was fantastic news for me and really what I needed to find. Now that there was a site which could tell me where the opportunities were, the rest would be easy, and so it proved! Within weeks I was in the process of buying two properties, and two years on and I have reached a stage where I am constantly buying, selling, renovating and letting at the same time! The opportunities come thick and fast now, thanks to one great site online!
