Expertise & Experience
When it comes to selling an investment property (or portfolio of properties) in Leeds, there are a number of things you need to take into account. Compliance, planning and condition are all elements that affect not only the value, but the chances of a successful completion in a timely manner.
As BTL, HMO and Freehold flat experts we know what potential buyers are looking out for when it comes to a property and we can help with a detailed review as part of the due diligence required to ensure you have everything in place, before the property is brought to market.
- Does it need an HMO licence, does it comply with licensing requirements?
- Is it in an area of C4 Planning?
- What is the rental history like?
- Does it have an FRA?
- What yield/ROI is it achieving and what could it achieve?
- Is it in need of updating and what investment is needed?
No Fee Off-Market Sale
If convenience and cost effectiveness are your priorities, then our no fee off-market investment sales service could be the right approach for you.
At Property Elevate, we’ve been working closely with Landlords with properties in Leeds for many years, as well as Investors who have been purchasing properties. We aim to balance the requirements of our vendors to the investment requirements of the purchasers, providing a mutually beneficial transaction.
Once a purchase price is agreed, an Off Market Fee is payable by the purchaser, securing the property and providing security on the transaction, vastly reducing the risk of a sale falling through. This is only possible due to Property Elevates' rigorous checks and evaluation of the Investment Property on behalf of both parties.
Our off-market sales service uses our network of pre-qualified investors to secure a sale quickly, and with no fee to pay, without having to go on-market.
Positioning Your Investment Property
When it comes to selling an investment property – or a portfolio of properties – how it is marketed and positioned is critical.
With our off-market approach, we identify value-add options and crunch the numbers, so that the full potential and ‘big picture’ of the investment is presented in full to the potential buyer. We try to idenfity ways to unlock value or de-risk the purchase to enhance its appeal.
Assisted Sale
Maximise your property’s sale value and share in the profits with an Assisted Sale.
Property Elevate will work in partnership with the owner to identify the potential of their property and then review the costs and strategy required to maximise the sales value against the agreed existing value. The goal is to increase the value to the owner, by optimising the property to maximise the sales price, rather than selling it at a reduced price due to its condition or other factors such as planning or compliance issues.
The owner does not need to funds those works, but would get a share in uplift once it is sold. Property Elevate would fully fund and undertake the works, utilising our expert project team of architects, planning consultants, and contractors and project manage from start to finish. Once works are finished, the property can be marketed in the usual way. On successful completion, the sales revenue and any profit is shared, repaying costs to each party.
This is ideal for investors or landlords with neglected properties, or properties with value- add potential (development, renovation, planning) and can be owner occupied, a BTL, a HMO, blocks of flats, commercial properties and land.
Understanding The Leeds Market
The Leeds Rental Market is split into two primary segments – Student & Professional – both of which are very buoyant. Leeds’ huge student population means that there is continuous, year-on-year demand for quality properties. Being aware of the student season is key to choosing the right time to sell your investment. 1st July marks the start of the cycle, when across the entire city the majority of students move in to their new homes.
The demand for rental property is not just for students but from professionals too. Leeds’ thriving professional market is down to its popularity as a fantastic place to work, with many large corporations and businesses choosing to locate here.
