Financing the property
The first step is to asses how much capital you have available and to determine your overall objectives.

The shrewd investor will invariable arrange a mortgage to finance the purchase. Zeta Homes Buy-to-let finance is the leading specialist provider of buy-to-let mortgage.

We have an in house finance department offering a whole range of financial services such as buy-to-let mortgages, capital raising and debt consolidation. Our highly experienced resident mortgage advisors will assist you with any financial aspect of your property purchase (whether you buy through us or not).

We have access to lenders that allow our investors to use the discount on their property as part of the deposit. This means that our investors require very little capital to purchase investment property, but if you live and reside abroad you might need more deposit for the first property.

Legals
We work with a number of legal professionals who specialise in all aspects of property investment.

Valuations
All property offered by us is independently valued by an RICS accredited valuer. This ensures that you can be confident in the values stated by us when purchasing investment property.

Snagging
We can offer a reduced fee snagging report for any clients wishing to take advantage of this peace of mind service. Our chosen snagging company – Home Inspector will carry out a full 650 point inspection of your new property and then deliver a full report to you and the developer within 3 days. Because this takes place before completion the developer has an added incentive to fix any problems immediately. A snagging report substantially reduces the risk of any little problems that may arise when your tenant moves in such as a leaking dishwasher or faulty door locks.

Landlord insurance
The majority of UK Landlords are exposed to unnecessary risk… we have the solution.  We will arrange special insurance for you.

Choosing the property
When you buy a property as an investment, certain criteria apply. These are not the same as when choosing your own home.

Investment decisions must not be emotional but should be based on factors such as property type, location, price, condition, and tenant demand and rental income.

Avoid buying a property simply because you like it or would live there yourself. We will be pleased to advice you when considering a property and will even accompany you to view it before you make an offer.

We will also provide you with a written Investment Appraisal, which will identify estimate returns. This will enable you to make a decision on a amore “scientific” basis rather than on a hunch
