Our Services
Turnkey make your investment journey easier, with a focus on expertise and support. With our help, you can achieve success without unnecessary stress.
Sourcing
Searching for the ideal investment property can be daunting and here at Turnkey, we understand how crucial this first step is.
Anyone can ‘find’ a property to purchase on the big portals like Rightmove, it is a useful resource which we use as well as leveraging connections with investors and agencies across the country in order to provide an extensive number of properties from which to choose. Our team works hard each day so that your search results only bring you high-yield opportunities.
As well as finding the right investment property our specialists assess every potential property and negotiate on your behalf taking advantage of market knowledge to secure the best deal.
We get into the details that matter most when it comes to investments: from small single lets all the way up to larger HMOs or multiple units; making sure your financial goals become a reality.
Basic Questions
Will it rent out and for how much?
What is it worth?
What are the refurbishment costs?
What is the value after refurbishment?
Before going into depth even the most basic of questions need to be answered. It is no good securing a BMV (below market value) deal only to discover the rental income is poor or even worse there is little demand.
Location
Turnkey know that the key to success is investing in the right property located in an area with high rental appeal. It’s important to uncover valuable facts about tenant demand and realistic rental income to maximise your investment potential.
Our team undertakes detailed analysis creating Goldmine Areas to ensure any investment is in a desirable, tenant friendly rental area, whilst minimising void periods. We also undertake realistic rental income research so you can be sure of optimal return on investment.
There is no one size fits all and the type of tenant you are looking for, the type of property and if you have a geo-location bias all must be taken into consideration when choosing the location of your investment.
Getting this wrong can be a costly mistake and could leave your investment property languishing empty.
Who will the tenant be?
Where does this tenant want to live?
How much does this area command?
Is there a property available that matches these requirements?
Duedil
There are so many layers of due diligence to undertake when purchasing investment properties.
Property
On viewing a property any problems, refurb and renovation costs need to be assessed to determine how long this might take, off-setting any lost income during reno time.
We assess legal considerations like fire, gas and electrical compliance and EPCs. Anything that doesn’t adhere to legislation we will create a plan to rectify.
Location
A property may look like a great investment on the surface but research needs to be done to understand actual rental yields and determine if it’s a sound investment.
Investor
As an investor you will need to pass various duedil tasks like AML (anti-money laundering) checks.
Legals
We partner with reputable and trusted third parties to ensure the legal side of things is professionally taken care of. Our law firms, mortgage brokers and insurance providers offer independent services so you are sure the advice is right for you.
Law Firms: our law firms work to a 28-day completion wherever possible. This is a very attractive proposition in our negotiation. It also means you are not delayed getting your investment up and running as soon as possible.
Mortgage Brokers: independent advice from our brokers to ensure any mortgage you take on the investment property is the right one for you and complies with legal and lender requirements.
Insurances: getting the right insurance policy is crucial for the protection of your investment. Get advice on the best products from insurers that specialise in investment properties.
All advice from third party partners is independent to Turnkey and given based on your individual circumstances.
Tenant Find
You’ve got your investment property now how do you go about tenanting it?
At Turnkey, we understand that acquiring the right tenants for your investment property can be a daunting and time-consuming process, especially if you do not have the time or knowledge to get it right.
Not only do we take care of finding the tenants, conducting viewings, eligibility checks, referencing, getting contracts out but also handle all of the compliance requirements for legally tenanting your property.
We have an in-house tenant database as well as actively marketing your property even prior to completion. It’s not unusual for us to have the tenants lined up before the property is even ready. Remember, this is an on-going task as tenants come and go so if you have a number of rental properties it is likely to be very time consuming.
Rest-assured knowing that you won’t have any concerns when it comes finding qualified renters, Turnkey have you covered every step of the way.
Property Management
Property management is a perfect choice for anyone that wants a truly hand-off investment. It allows you to remain involved with decision making while leaving day to day operations in skilled hands.
Turnkey’s property management service gives you access to our extensive knowledge on finding and replacing tenants, repairs, compliance and finances such as deposits.
We know that queries and problems rarely happen in the 9-5 and we have systems in place to handle not just general questions and small maintenance issues but also out of hours emergencies.
Without proper management in place all of these issues will be down to you as the owner, everything from cooker hood lights not working (unbelievably yes, this has more than once been a genuine maintenance log) to leaks and electricity failures.
Let us help you make the most of your property investments, from individual properties to expansive portfolios. Our adaptable property management solutions are tailored for every investor’s unique needs.
