Traditionally, unless the client used a national agency, who would not necessarily be able to service the property or indeed be best to do so, invariably multiple agents would need to be instructed which is of course a time-consuming exercise. The reputation of UK agents - how shall we say? - is far from glowing and in fairness this is due to a lack of commercial savviness. This doesn’t apply to all agents, but sadly it does to a large number.
At CRPI we are able to consolidate a client’s property portfolio anywhere in the UK with a single point of contact from a letting, management, sales or acquisition perspective. Many clients come to CRPI who do may not wish to acquire future property but merely consolidate their current portfolio under one roof. Our key services are search and acquisition, letting, property management and sale.
From a letting and management perspective there is a misconception that you cannot change managing agents whilst under tenancy, which is simply not the case. CRPI win the business of many clients who are unhappy with their current agent for a multitude of reasons and we seamlessly transfer the management without affecting the current occupant. Any third party letting liability is met by us and more often than not the client benefits from a more cost effective fee structure than before.
When any of our clients express an interest in acquiring investment property we create a detailed acquisition strategy with income and expenditure analysis, source funding and identify suitable investment opportunities that best meets their requirements - either capital growth or yield-orientated, or ideally a mixture of the two.
We also facilitate the sale of property either as an income generating investment with proven case history of rental, void, etc, or with vacant possession in the open market.
With one of the strongest UK rental markets in history why not sell your investment with a tenant in place rather than lose the income up to the day of practical completion?
We advise many clients to acquire pre-let property rather than “off the shelf” as generally no premium is paid as you would for newbuild, there is no competition of letting on completion, historical vital running costs can be calculated and income is received from the day of ownership.
