NEW PODCAST: I tried to sell a property at auction – this is what happened
Weekly data-led tips, local hotspots, and what actually moves the market.
I was already investing in the UK property market before I left, and I wanted to continue building my portfolio for when I return.
I had bought a couple of properties while abroad, but it was such an effort. It took a lot of time and cost a significant amount of money for travel expenses like flights, trains, and hotels. After realising this, I decided to do my next deal through Property Hub Invest since I could handle everything from home.
I opted for a two-bed, new-build flat within my price range, aiming for capital growth. I wanted something new with minimal maintenance issues, as some of my current properties have ongoing problems.
It was straightforward, all conducted online with the Property Hub team. Meetings were done via Zoom, and their partners handled legal and financial matters efficiently.
Property Hub Invest organised everything, from mortgage brokers familiar with my chosen development to conveyancing, ensuring a smooth and swift process. They made sure I connected with the right people at the right time.
No, everything went smoothly.
We are definitely in the ‘hands-off’ camp when it comes to property management and maintenance. We want truly passive income, so we always opt to utilise full managed services through a letting agent. Having a strong partner in this is critical for us as we cannot jump in the car or get on a train to our properties if issues arise.
Property Hub had a broker lined up who knew the development and the appropriate lenders beforehand. Since I purchase property via a limited company, taxes and currency exchange were already managed.
None at all.
Prepare in advance by knowing your long-term goals, seeking tax advice, and setting up a reliable money transfer system. Having these in place before investing can make the process smoother.
Absolutely. This was the easiest purchase I’ve ever made, saving me both time and money. Handling everything re motely from my laptop was incredibly convenient, and I even received a discount on the market price. For anyone looking to build a portfolio while living abroad, it’s a no-brainer.
