OVERVIEW

Amidst the height of COVID-related market uncertainties, we seized a remarkable opportunity. Despite cancelled viewings and a temporarily suspended UK housing index in May 2020, we navigated negotiations to secure the purchase.

Recognising the potential, we dedicated ourselves to intensive work throughout the summer, aligning with the start of the academic year in September 2020. Our efforts paid off as we successfully rented this property to five students, generating a monthly income of £3,500. This strategic move amidst challenging circumstances exemplifies our ability to identify and capitalise on valuable opportunities.
