I am a computer programmer living and working in Abu Dhabi. I have a home in China with my wife and we will probably spend most of our time there when it comes time to retire.
We are fortunate enough that we can save a reasonable amount of money. Leaving the money in the bank was not an option, so I started looking at where I could safely invest. Being from the UK, I have always known that buying property there was a safe option. As property prices were low we could also expect a reasonable amount of capital growth on our investment.
We were looking for reasonably priced properties so that we could purchase fairly quickly and get our money working for us.
Doing the due diligence
As with any investment we had a few concerns. I did my research on Find UK Property to validate their claims of being members of the National Association of Estate Agents, The Property Ombudsman and so on — how long they had been in business, and if there were any complaints about them or the service that they provide.
My confidence grew even more following my visit to their UK headquarters at Time Technology Park. They were punctual, professional and courteous.
“Each quarter the money just gets paid into the bank. Through the whole process everything was clearly explained and all given time frames were met.”
Choosing guaranteed rent
We chose the guaranteed option, as we wanted a fixed income that we could depend on. We wanted a hands off investment knowing that everything was being taken care of. We were so happy with the first property that we have subsequently purchased a second.
I have recommended Find UK Property to a number of friends in Abu Dhabi — two of whom have purchased a property each.
