How we work

Your plan first. The property second.

How we take you from a first conversation to the right introduction, what we check along the way, and what we'll never do.

Property investment is a considered decision, and it should feel like one. This page sets out how we work, so there are no surprises later.

The four steps, in full.

  1. Step 1

    A conversation about you

    A phone, video or in-person conversation about your goals, budget, timescale and appetite for risk.

    You come away withA clear sense of whether we're the right fit, with no obligation.

  2. Step 2

    Your brief

    We agree what you're looking for together: markets, budget, how involved you want to be and what you won't compromise on.

    You come away withA brief we both work to.

  3. Step 3

    A shortlist, assessed

    We look for opportunities that fit and put each one through the six questions below.

    You come away withA shortlist, with the reasons behind it.

  4. Step 4

    The right introductions

    When something is worth pursuing, we introduce you to the developer or agent, and to the professional advisers you'll want acting for you.

    You come away withThe right people around the table before you commit.

What we check before anything reaches you.

Six questions, asked of every opportunity. None of them can be answered by the render.

The builder

Who is the developer, and what have they already finished?

Anyone can commission a render. Only a developer with a track record can show you finished buildings. What they've completed, how it was delivered and how it has held up tells you more than any image.

Who usually answers it: the developer, and a look at their past schemes.

The title

Is the title clean?

You're buying a legal interest, not a picture. You need to know who owns the land, whether title is in place and what's registered against it.

Who usually answers it: your own solicitor, in the country you're buying in.

The running costs

What will it cost to own each year?

The price is only the start. Service charges or communal fees, insurance, upkeep and local taxes come round every year.

Who usually answers it: the developer or managing agent, checked by your solicitor.

The management

Who manages it, and for what fee?

If you plan to let the property, someone has to run it. Their fee, what it covers and how long you're tied to them all affect what you're left with.

Who usually answers it: the managing or letting agent.

The timeline

What happens if completion slips?

Off-plan purchases are paid in stages, against a building that doesn't exist yet. You need to know the deadlines and what the contract says if they're missed.

Who usually answers it: your solicitor, reading the contract.

The exit

How would you sell it on?

At some point you may want to sell. Who buys properties like this, and how easily, matters on the day you buy as much as on the day you sell.

Who usually answers it: local agents, and the resale market itself.

The words you'll hear.

Plain English for the terms that come up in almost every purchase.

Reservation deposit
A payment that takes a property off the market while the purchase is arranged. Always check whether, and when, it's refundable.
Off-plan
Buying a property before it's built, usually paying in stages as construction goes on.
Completion
The point the purchase finishes and the property becomes yours.
Title deed
The legal record of who owns a property. In some countries, including Cyprus, deeds for new builds can be issued well after the building is finished.
Service charge
A yearly charge for the upkeep of the shared parts of a development.
Management fee
What a letting or managing agent charges to run a property, usually a share of the rent.
Finder's fee
A fee paid for introducing a buyer to an opportunity. Always ask who pays it.
