How To Influence A Property Surveyor

Simon focuses on strategies for refinancing properties and specifically the concept of momentum investing, explaining how most investors wait years for a property's value to naturally appreciate before refinancing, a slow method.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The traditional property investment approach involves buying, waiting several years for natural value appreciation, and then refinancing. Momentum investing, in contrast, is a faster strategy where you buy below market value, add value, and refinance after about six months You don't have to evict tenants to conduct a refurbishment. Making improvements, especially to communal areas, while tenants remain in place saves on void periods (no rental income) and other ongoing costs If you plan to refinance quickly using momentum investing, you should avoid two, three, or five-year fixed-rate mortgages. Instead, use bridging finance or cash, as these options allow you to refinance after six months without incurring large early redemption charges BEST MOMENTS "What we do is we get bridging finance where there are no penalties. It's a higher interest rate but it's still cheaper than having to pay big repayment penalties." "If you can possibly have before pictures they see what it looked like before the work was done, they see what it looked like now, that also helps them understand that you've added value to the property." "I would highly recommend to maximise the valuation when you're doing refinances, take the time just to put a two-pager document together with the information I've shared with you."
