"I am a UK national. We have lived in Bermuda for most of the last 30 years, aiming to retire and relocate back to the UK in the next few years.
Originally we thought about buying our main house in advance of our return, but we were not sure where we would be living and did not have time to look at a lot of properties. We did not want to make the mistake of buying in the wrong location or a property that may not be suitable for our eventual requirements. So, we thought it made more sense to buy an investment property that would continue to grow in value and give good rental income. We could, if we wanted, later resell that and buy an “own use” property if needed.
I contacted four companies through their websites to find out what services they were offering relating to investment properties. Find UK Property was the company that offered most the detail about their operation and seemed to offer the most complete service.
Dealing with companies through their website and by email from 3,000 miles away, you are always concerned about scams. You want to make sure you are dealing with a real and reputable company. Thus both of us wanted to visit and do our own research to check everything out.
We had a good meeting with the company at their offices and we spent about three or four hours visiting four potential properties. Our guide had been with the company many years and seemed very knowledgeable. We also met solicitors in Colne who eventually did the property transfer and the formalities with the Land Registry.
Everything went smoothly and after the initial paperwork there is very little input needed from us. We receive a quarterly statement and payment just before the end of each quarter.
The thing we liked the best about the whole process was the fact it was so easy. Living so far away, you want a company that handles all the details so that you do not need to worry about anything. Other things I liked was the touring of the prospective properties with a friendly and knowledgeable guide, the quick responses to any queries, and the Guaranteed Rent system.
Yes - I would recommend Find UK Property to anybody who has savings. Interest rates are so low and the markets are volatile. I think diversifying into investment property make a lot of sense, and Find UK Property are an easy and reliable way of doing that."
When I found out about Find UK Property, I was initially hesitant – Were they real? So I did do my own research and made enquiries by phone and email to satisfy myself. I liked the service they were offering that would enable me to purchase easily and would provide long term management with guaranteed rent and property maintenance.
Due to my work and the distance involved, I did not visit prior to purchase and everything has been done by email or phone. All of my questions have been answered satisfactorily and the purchase and subsequent management has proceeded as expected with no surprises. I was able to make the reservation, make payments, select the property and get it all transferred to my name whilst still being abroad. They sent me Land Registry forms to complete and I provided my ID documents, attested by a local solicitor here to enable registration at the UK Land Registry.
I like the fact that all of the staff respond very quickly and so far, I have been getting all of my rental money on time. There have been no tenant or property issues for me to worry about and I understand that even if there were any such issues in the future, the company would fix them without my involvement. The guys have been very good, and arranging the tax exemption was easy.
I would recommend Find UK Property for someone looking for an investment who doesn't have a lot of time and is living abroad. There are many UK nationals living and working abroad that would benefit from this service. The whole process was all very simply and painless and exactly as agreed."
