Most popular type of specialist property investment

Bridging to refurb and sell, AKA Flipping is increasingly popular this year as investors of all levels seek to grab a bargain and re-sell for profit. We are getting more enquiries from first-timers who have toyed with the idea for some time and help them profitably deliver their first project. They are ideal clients as they invariably continue to do more projects. Bridging is a flexible way to finance, with the ability to cross-charge for those who are a little light on cash and the market as a whole is fiercely competitive.

We are seeing more enquiries about change of use, particularly from commercial to residential. More landlords are also looking to the Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) market, which still provides a great yield, alongside growing demand as house sharing becomes the only affordable option for many.
