Investing in London property

Why a slow London market is when investors buy. How NU Projects finds undeveloped property, adds space to it and brings it back to market.

This week’s blog post is a little different to what we normally post involving some exciting news that we are now able to publish. We have been working together with Chinese investors who wish to invest in London property.

A slow market is when a buyer has the advantage. Uncertainty around the referendum has reached buying, selling and development alike. For an investor, that is the moment to purchase.

People who want to sell are struggling because no one is buying. For this reason property prices are a lot lower than usual for the London property market. For investors nationally but also internationally it is a great time to invest in property.

In our eye, the undeveloped properties are the goldmine. Buying the worst house on the right street is a good mantra to follow. Our business is construction, both build and design, and we love doing it. We see the potential in property, and it is all about location to us. We have the trades and the experience to turn a house around and get it back on the market at a profit. The aim is to buy and sell within six to eight weeks, and where the build runs smoothly that is what has happened. With construction, unknown issues always arise, but this is usual and NU Projects are prepared for this to get projects back on track.

We can get hold of off market property in London for development. Years in the residential market mean estate agents know NU Projects and call us directly when something comes up. Profit is made on undeveloped properties because we can add value through adding a pod room, a basement, or extending with a side return, there is so much to do with undeveloped property.

Because the trades are in house, NU Projects carries lower overheads than a company that has to buy in every discipline. We mainly focus on mid-range to high-end projects in areas like Putney, Fulham, Chelsea and Knightsbridge where the profit is high. However, London is our home and we have projects completed and currently being built all around London.

Investing in London has so many advantages and during this slow time in the market, it makes sense to invest now.
