There’s one thing you won’t find here; a get rich quick scheme.
We’ve shared our model of maximising long-term wealth generation through investing in property here, and while we won’t ever promise results that’ll help you quit your day job in 12 months, we’ve got a track record of delivering deals to property investors that perform incredibly well over time.
Although we invest for the long term, by securing a discount and focusing on high-growth areas we also deliver strong initial returns for our investors. These examples show the returns some of our investments have achieved in no more than three-and-a-half years: a period coinciding exactly with Brexit uncertainty, which saw the UK market grow by an average of just 2% per year.
£60,000 uplift in just 32 months – Manchester
In 2017 we discovered an opportunity in Salford, Manchester, right by the side of the River Irwell.
It ticked all the fundamentals boxes: adjacent to Manchester city centre, great transport links and an idyllic riverside position which was popular with the rental market. The Irwell City Park regeneration project was also in full swing at the time – another successful indicator of potential future capital growth due to the ripple effect filtering out from Manchester city centre.
The creation of MediaCityUK and the arrival of big names such as the BBC and ITV bolstered demand from the rental market, so naturally we worked hard to deliver a deal here.
We managed to secure a £25,000 discount on a range of 2-bedroom apartments on behalf of Property Hub Invest clients.
The deal looked like this:
| Purchase price | £225,000 |
| Discount | £25,000 |
After just 32 months, this is how the investment numbers stack up:
| Total cash required (including all fees and taxes) | £71,344 |
| Monthly rent achieved | £1,000 |
| Monthly costs (based on 75% mortgage at 4% interest) | £845 |
| Total lifetime rental profit | £4,960 |
| Today’s value | £285,000 |
| Value uplift | £60,000 |
| Total return on investment (ROI) | 91.05% |
| Annualised ROI | 34.14% |
In just 32 months, Property Hub Invest clients have benefitted from a £60,000 value uplift – a total ROI of 91.05%.
Over 86% return on investment in 19 months – Doncaster
Doncaster is a popular location for the rental market. We’ve actively sourced deals here for a number of years now due to the immediate rental performance and capital growth we believe will come here in the future.
These 2-bedroom houses were in a great location, just walking distance to Doncaster town centre and a short journey to the train station and Doncaster Royal Infirmary which is a large employer in the area. There’s also a wide range of amenities close by, strengthening the appeal to prospective tenants.
We managed to secure a £17,868 discount on these 2-bedroom houses on behalf of Property Hub Invest clients.
The deal looked like this:
| Purchase price |
£112,082 |
| Discount |
£17,868 |
After just 19 months, this is how the investment numbers stack up:
| Total cash required (including all fees and taxes) |
£37,878 |
| Monthly rent achieved |
£600 |
| Monthly costs (based on 75% mortgage at 4% interest) |
£352 |
| Total lifetime rental profit |

£140,000 |
| Value uplift |
£27,918 |
| Total return on investment (ROI) |

This Doncaster deal has low monthly costs and has delivered a total rental profit of £4,712 with very little effort, in addition to capital appreciation of £27,918 in just 19 months of investor ownership.
163% return on investment in just 3.5 years – Sheffield
Sheffield is another city we’ve focused on over the past few years. If investment into this thriving city is good enough for the likes of Boeing, McLaren and Sky, then it’s good enough for us.
The government planned to pump £1.3bn into the Sheffield City Region over the next three decades, focusing on housing, business and transport infrastructure – all of which are clear indicators of economic growth and an ever-growing rental demand.
Add the business growth to a successful university with a strong graduate retention and you have the recipe for an incredibly strong investment deal.
We secured a £17,415 discount on a range of 2-bedroom apartments in Sheffield’s popular Kelham Island area.
The deal looked like this:
| Purchase price |
£107,585 |
| Discount |
£17,415 |
After just 46 months, this is how the investment numbers stack up:
| Total cash required (including all fees and taxes) |
£36,674 |
| Monthly rent achieved |
£750 |
| Monthly costs (based on 75% mortgage at 4% interest) |
£448 |
| Total lifetime rental profit |
£13,892 |
| Today’s value |
£154,000 |
| Value uplift |
£46,415 |
| Total return on investment (ROI) |
164.44% |
| Annualised ROI |
42.90% |
The rental profit on this Sheffield investment deal is strong, but the value uplift here has been phenomenal.
These examples show what you can achieve in a short space of time by buying the right stock in the right areas, and doing so at a discount. But you’ll see the real magic after a decade or more – when capital growth has taken place, inflation has increased rents, yet your mortgage debt has remained static.
