Investing in new build properties offers immense potential, from modern features and reduced maintenance costs to great investment returns. However, navigating the process on your own can lead to costly mistakes that undermine your returns.
At Equiti, we specialize in guiding investors through these challenges, ensuring that your decisions are sound, and your investments yield long-term success. Here’s how we help you avoid common pitfalls when purchasing new build properties:
1. Choosing the Right Location
One of the biggest risks with new build property investment is selecting a location that lacks infrastructure or growth potential. This can deter tenants or future buyers, impacting your returns.
How Equiti Helps:
Our team conducts thorough research to identify high-growth areas with strong infrastructure plans, access to amenities, and solid tenant demand. With our local expertise, you can be confident that the property you invest in is situated in a location primed for both immediate and future success.
2. Partnering with Reputable Build Partners
The reputation of a builder/developer can make or break your investment. Delays, poor workmanship, or a lack of transparency can lead to frustration and financial losses.
How Equiti Helps:
We only work with trusted builders who have proven track records of delivering high-quality projects on time. Our rigorous vetting process includes reviewing past developments, speaking with previous investors, and ensuring that every build partner meets our standards for quality and reliability.
3. Market Insights You Can Count On
Jumping into a new build investment without understanding the local market can result in overpaying or struggling to find tenants.
How Equiti Helps:
Our market analysis takes the guesswork out of your decision. We provide insights into rental demand and property values in your chosen area, ensuring that your investment is competitively priced and aligned with market trends.
4. Transparent Cost Planning
While new builds may appear to be at a fixed cost, extra expenses like legal fees or variations to contracts can add up quickly if you’re not prepared.
How Equiti Helps:
Our team meticulously reviews agreements to clarify exactly what’s included in the purchase price. Every property we list comes with a fixed price, ensuring transparency and no unexpected costs. All of our properties are “rent-ready,” meaning essential features like blinds, washing lines, letterboxes, and soft landscaping are already included in the price. Additionally, we provide guidance on typical solicitor fees, helping you avoid overpaying and ensuring a smooth, cost-effective process.
5. Expert Support with Contracts and Legalities
New build contracts can be complex, with clauses that may lead to unexpected issues, such as construction delays or changes to the build plan.
How Equiti Helps:
Our expert property team review every contract in detail, ensuring you understand the terms and are fully protected. We negotiate on your behalf, addressing timelines, penalties for delays, and warranties, so you’re always in control of your investment. We always ensure there is a comprehensive Due Diligence clause in the contract to give you the most protection.
