Property investment is successful when everybody in the equation wins.

Short-term ‘success’ can mean longtermloss

If you, as a landlord, increase your rent to take as much from your tenant as possible, you may make more money in the shortterm. Some would call that success. But if that rent is unaffordable to the tenant over time, they’ll move. They’ll have no choice, and that will leave you with a void. Over the long-term, you’ll end up losing money.

Property investment is a long-term game

Property appreciates over time, due to inflation. So, if you own a property and keep it well maintained, over a 15-20 year period, you’ll win. However, when you make a decision that compromises long-term profit, that’s a problem.

True success is a win for the landlord, a win for the tenant and a win for the community. If one of those loses, your investment loses.

By Nick Stott, CEO, Homesure Property

Makesustainablesuccessyourgoal

Provide a poor quality house, fall behind on maintenance, charge over the going rate and you won’t get (or you certainly won’t keep) desirable tenants.

When you cut corners, it has repercussions. Depending on what corners you cut, you could get legal action brought against you. Even if you don’t get sued, your tenants will lose out, and probably move out. If disruptive tenants move in, that’s a loss for the community.

You have to find a property management agent that cares about all aspects of the equation. Choose an independent agent with knowledge of, and interest in, the areas where your properties are.

The directors of Homesure personally own properties across Liverpool City Region and Cheshire, so we’ve got a vested interest in our communities. We also have policies and procedures in place to actively support landlords, tenants and the communities in which we operate. That’s the level of commitment you should demand from the team managing your investments. That’s how to win the property game.

'Thank you for helping the Gardens by Peter Lloyd team with the construction o the Ukrainian Peac Garden, specificall well… I would have no hesitation in recommending Critchley Handyman Services.'

There are almost one million people living with dementia in the UK, yet there are no treatments available to slow or stop the diseases that cause it. The most common one being Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s Research UK invests in groundbreaking research, with the aim of finding a cure for dementia. Homesure is proud to be contributing to that effort

The Homesure team cycled 100 miles in July and Managing Director Mark Loughnane will run the 2024 London Marathon, to raise more money for the cause. Plus, the team will complete lots of other challenges, between now and then, adding to their fundraising total.

A few of the team have family members suffering from this heartbreaking disease, so it's a cause close to Homesure's heart.
