We’ve had a busy start to the year with visits to our offices in Liverpool by an investment company based in Hong Kong and also one based in Johannesburg in addition to a series of UK based investors.

The theme of all investors is value and income, both of which we have an enviable track record in this marketplace.
On this theme, we have three investments this week which match both criteria:

Commercial Property Investment – 12% gross yield
This property is in receivership and comprises a hotel and ground floor retail units. The tenancies are strong and recent. Location is excellent and the would provide an excellent long-term investment at a guide price of £450,000 to £500,000.

Residential Investment – 14% gross yield
This property is also in receivership, with an excellent location in the heart of a city, producing a gross yield of 14% at a guide price of £475,000 to £525,000.

London Student Investment – £75,700, gross yield 11%
We have a number of cash only investments in London which have been very popular with investors looking for a home for their cash as inflation eats away at its value.

If you wish to discuss these investments or your own personal requirements, then please call us on 0151 243 5433.

Currently there is a shortfall of some 100,000-student rooms across London, particularly in central locations. For the discerning UK and overseas student, this boutique development, comprising of 62 studios and en-suite student pods will offer a luxury accommodation option and a fresh alternative to large, over crowded halls of residence and private housing in the area.

These new build student investment opportunities start from £75,700 for an en-suite unit to £85,000 for a studio; the gross yield is 11.1%. After management fees and other charges this nets to 9%.

This is a completely hands off investment as the sourcing and management of student tenants is the responsibility of the management company.

Rents in the student sector have increased by 5% per annum over the last 6 years which when compared to 0.6% for the commercial property market as a whole, is a strong performance. Additionally, occupancy rates for student property are extremely high.

A useful way to view this investment is in terms of cash in the bank or cash in a high yielding student property with the potential for capital growth.

Inflation Proof Investment

Capital Growth and Income

The capital value of these studio pods should increase in line with rents and given the demand for student accommodation in London, it’s a fair assumption that rents will increase in-line with demand and also inflation.

If rents increase by 5% per annum (as experienced over the past 6 years), compounded over 5 years, then the gross rent would be:

£9,435 increasing by 5% per annum = £12,042

£8,415 increasing by 5% per annum = £10,740

Presently the gross yield is 11.1%, so to maintain that yield, the capital value would increase to:

Rent divided by yield = capital value = £12,042/11.1% = £108,486 (studio)

Rent divided by yield = capital value = £10,740/11.1% = £95,757   (en-suite)

The point is that these units should increase in value in line with rents as their capital value is determined solely on the rent it produces.

Further, given the very strong rental returns, it may be possible to offer a unit for resale at some stage in the future once the investment is more established. For instance, if you wished to ‘sell on’ with a gross yield of 9% which is still very attractive, particularly in London, then the calculation in the example above would be:

Rent divided by yield = capital value = £12,042/9% = £133,800 a capital gain over 5 years of £48,800 or 57%.

Given the sensitivity of the distressed assets world, the sources of repossessed stock do not want details and particulars of their properties circulated via the internet and other media. That is why you will not find a list of such properties on this website – simply, we are not allowed to.

This is also to the advantage of the investor, as the fewer people who have access to the stock, the lower the pricing pressure and therefore better deals may be achieved.
