Expanding your portfolio can be daunting. You may have questions about rental trends, where to invest, what to look for, how much to spend, etc. Before you start, here are a few questions to ask to ensure you get the most out of aniny additional outlay. 

Should I buy a renovation?

The best deals are the ones that require investment. You can find these at auction, or even on the open market. Consider a renovation project to ensure you maximise your capital gains, not just your monthly yield. It’s crucial to ensure you make plans and have trusted tradespeople in place before you commit. To ensure the work is completed to a high standard, you don’t have to instruct further tradespeople to rectify their work. 

At Linley & Simpson, we understand the importance of delivering exceptional results. We’re not only judged on our own customer service and output but the quality of our trusted tradespeople’s work. That’s why we only work with the highest quality tradespeople in Yorkshire. We have built a catalog of trusted tradespeople that we know will complete your work to the finest standards and in a timely manner.

By entrusting your property's renovation to Linley & Simpson, you can rest assured that the work will be done to the finest standard, enhancing the appeal and value of your investment. 

What should I prioritise? 

Time is of the essence when it comes to property renovations. Before purchasing a property, you have to understand the significance of minimizing downtime and maximizing rental income. Any period of time without a tenant in, is time your investment is not earning money. By coordinating the various tradespeople, overseeing the workflow, and addressing any unforeseen issues promptly, we keep your project moving along seamlessly. With Linley & Simpson at the helm, you can have your property ready for tenants as swiftly as possible. 

Once I have completed the renovation, what next? 

It's not just finding tenants quickly that you should consider. Finding reliable tenants is just as important. We vet our tenants to ensure they have a strong track record of looking after a property and paying their rent on time. You can’t put a price on peace of mind. 

From marketing to photography, to conducting viewings and background checks, at Linley & Simpson we handle every step meticulously.
