WHAT WE DO

Find UK Property are the ‘buyers’ agent and specialize in helping serious oNigerian buyers and UK expats find the most suitable UK property for their needs – at the lowest price. Most of our buyers can be grouped into two main categories – Those looking for investment properties and those looking for a property for their ‘own use’.

1. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

NIGERIAN NATIONALS

Many Nigeria based buyers are looking to the UK for a secure place for medium to long-term investment. They are not looking to immigrate into the UK immediately (although some may consider it in the future), but simply wish to grow their money securely and with the least amount of hassle. They usually have some link with the UK or intend to send their children to study here in the future. Many may have studied here themselves.

They are looking for a company that offers:

a complete solution; this includes

finding investment property,

dealing with the purchase process and

lettings and management,

paying the net rent to them,

managing the future re-sale of the property

dealing with UK authorities and possibly

Some of them may wish to come to the UK in the future and even re-sell their investment properties to buy an ‘own use’ property.

UK RESIDENTS

Many UK residents living in the south or in London are now considering low cost houses for investment and long term pension type income. Prices in London and South are very high and % rental yields much lower. The same property which we sell for £60,000 here in Lancashire county near Manchester is over £300,000 in the South. In the past London has done very well in capital growth – however this is less likely to be the case going forward and the risks of buying here are now higher. Our clients from the UK also like our “hand-off” system where we work differently to normal Estate Agents and Letting Agents and provide a much more comprehensive service looking after all aspects of the purchase and the subsequent long term management with a Guaranteed Rent System. Our UK clients are mainly either busy professionals working in or near London or those that have retired or coming up to retirement.

IDEAL INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Our low cost investment properties are ideal for this purpose. These properties deliver amongst the best net rental yields in the UK and are expected to grow well in capital value over next few years. Rather than purchasing ONE more expensive property, it is far better to purchase multiple, smaller, lower cost investment properties for the same budget. This will deliver better overall net rent, greater capital growth, less risk, be more tax efficient and provide more flexibility.

MercyHomesUK is able to provide you with a complete property investment solution. Thereafter, we normally continue to manage the properties on their behalf and provide regular statements and net rental payments into their accounts. This way we control all aspects of the process and have full accountability to the buyer, making the purchase and management process much easier. If they visit the UK, we help them with property viewing, the purchase process and provide post-purchase property management. We can help you buy even if you are not able to visit the UK right now as ID documents can be attested by a lawyer in your own country.

2. OWN USE PROPERTIES

In some cases overseas buyers and expats may be looking for a property for their own use. Such properties are not owned by our group companies and are only available in the 3rd party re-sale market. In such cases we act as Buyer’s Agent to find the most suitable property for you in the UK. Where we act to find you properties from 3rd party sellers and agents, we normally charge you a fee.

The steps involved in search for properties are as follows.

1. Find out your requirements.
2. Search for Suitable Own Use Properties.
3. Produce a Short-list.
4. Viewings & Selection.
5. Help with Negotiations for best price & terms.
6. Oversee the Transaction Process to Completion.

WHY USE US

Searching for a suitable UK property on your own can be time consuming, stressful and costly. It can take a long time to get a full picture of what is on the market and what represents fair value, especially if you are based overseas. Without detailed knowledge of the market you may end up wasting your precious time in viewing properties that do not really meet your requirements. In case of investment properties, after purchase you will need to deal with renting and property management too.

Our investment properties provide a complete solution for many overseas buyers and represent great value for money.
