Property Advisors
With the Irish property market ever changing, we believe that our experience must be available to all our clients. In recent times we have found that the discerning investor values a return on their investment as capital appreciation. This is a shift in the traditional ‘Celtic Tiger’ mentality when capital appreciation drove the investor market.
Gross/net returns on residential purchases.
Identifying areas of Dublin where the returns can be maximised. An investor may feel that they are getting excellent value in a certain area, however if the property is not easily let, it may dilute the original value.
Houses versus Apartments. This depends on an investor’s individual circumstances and needs. Some investors will be put off buying an apartment due to the annual management fees whereas others won’t want to purchase a houses because of the outside spaces that need to be regularly maintained. A large part of this decision will again come down to return on investment and what makes better financial sense at a given time.
Pre purchase advise on the level/amount of works needed, if any, to bring the property to a readily lettable standard. Over the years we have found that landlords can either spend too much or too little and this will affect the overall investment.
