AWARD-WINNING, QUALITY BUY-TO-LET PROPERTIES

INVEST WITH CONFIDENCE

NEW CENTRAL WOKING

INVEST WITH CONFIDENCE

A housing shortage, strong rental

demands and poor returns on other

forms of investment have all played

their role in creating a thriving buy-to-let

market. The number of Britons with

buy-to-let mortgages has soared in

recent years to nearly 1.5 million,

many of whom will have invested in

bricks and mortar for the first time.

Seeking profitable ways to invest their hard

earned savings, investors are reported to

be snapping up investment properties and

thousands of people are becoming landlords

for the first time as interest rates on savings

continue to let them down.

WHY BUY-TO-LET?

Buy-to-let is benefiting from strong tenant demand, which is likely to continue. Loan performance compares favourably with the owner-occupier sector, and the overall outlook for the buy-to-let sector is positive.PAUL SMEEDirector General, Council of Mortgage Lenders (14th Feb 2013)

The South East is yet again proving to

be a destination of choice for investors.

Offering proximity to London and

healthy house prices to provide capital

growth, this location is historically

appealing to potential tenants and

therefore landlords.

SALE AND LEASEBACK PROPERTIESInterested in buying one of our show homes?

Our Sale and Leaseback Scheme is an increasingly popular way to invest in a brand new home with the assurance that your property is in safe hands. Basically we rent your investment property from you and we use it to market our development. Often situated in the prime location on site, the show home is the ‘shop window’ for us to sell our new homes, so it is designed and professionally decorated to the highest standards. What’s more is that after the development is sold and you take your property back, it could come complete with furniture and is ready to let, usually attracting a premium rent.

This is what we currently have available throughout the South East.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE SAID…

SALE AND LEASEBACK INVESTOR

Jane Campion purchased two properties at

Nightingale Woods in Buckinghamshire; one

to live in and she bought the show home as

an investment. Leasing it to Barratt Homes,

Jane was delighted that her property was

generating a monthly income.

I wanted to downsize as I had capital sitting in a property that was just too big for me. I was looking at a new home for myself at Nightingale Woods and then Barratt suggested I bought their show home, so I did. It’s been a fantastic investment and Barratt has been the perfect tenant. I was guaranteed a rental income for a year and then the property was returned to me in immaculate condition and renting it out again was easy.

INVEST WITH CONFIDENCE

FIRST TIME INVESTOR

Nichola Apthorpe, a homemaker and mother

of two, recently purchased a two-bedroom

apartment at New Central in Woking.

Investing for the first time, as an alternative

to a poor saving rate with her bank, Nichola

is delighted with her new property.

“We wanted to invest our money in

something that would give us both security

and the opportunity to generate an income.

As a homemaker, I will obviously not be able

to earn a company pension and so it was

important for us to make sound provisions

for our future now. I could see straight away

that New Central ticked all of the boxes.”

We didn’t make the decision lightly though. I spent six months thoroughly researching second-hand properties but there was always something that needed to be done and as a first time investor we didn’t want to risk making more work for ourselves.

Our investment pays for itself and in time will provide us with a good nest egg and monthly income. In addition with the Barratt five-year warranty on fixtures and fittings we have real peace of mind that there will be no extra unexpected costs to payout if anything breaks down.
