Client view

"We decided we wished to diversify and invest our commercial property fund into the residential letting market. We were recommended to approach FK who helped us to understand the market and drew up a strategy for investment. With their help we have bought a mixed portfolio at keen prices that have been continuously let and managed by FK."

Our investors were looking for a higher return than Oxford was offering at the time, one of our developer clients suggested this permitted development scheme in Reading

Acquisition:

We acquired 24 apartments off plan, at prices that enabled us to achieve over 6% returns.

Investors wanted a higher return, salaries are stronger in Reading yet property is cheaper. With cross rail and the general growth of the area it seemed a opportunity too good to miss for F.K Clients.

Great returns for our investors with early capital gains within the properties.

Brief description:

Overseas investor wanting to ring fence investment within the Oxfordshire ring road. Little opportunities in OX1, and so Summertown OX2 seems best option

Acquisition:

We purchased a spacious 1 bedroom apartment above the Marks & Spencer’s food hall in central Summertown. The apartment was part of a permitted development scheme from commercial office to apartments. We have successfully let several apartments from the scheme.

Our rationale & service:

The prime location means that the capital is ring fenced as requested by the client. The quality of design and finish was high, space is at a premium in the Summertown area and the apartments were well proportioned.

Result:

We have already secured a tenancy on the apartment at a higher rent than originally quoted.
