Remember that good quality and well located properties almost always sell quickly, if priced correctly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A normal deal will see the investors providing around 25 &#8211; 50% of the project costs and\u00a0taking an equivalent share of the profits\u00a0available\u00a0for distribution. We have an experienced team able to act quickly, assess how much work is required and identify whether the property is\u00a0structurally sound. \u00a0With our network of surveyors, builders, professional advisers and an immense knowledge of the regional property market,\u00a0we can offer a rapid and seamless service, tackling the whole project \u00a0in a unified way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The company controls each building project through its carefully selected contractor network, meaning the ongoing costs of any\u00a0direct labour force don\u2019t force the company to take on projects at the wrong time. Separate teams of established and cost\u00a0effective builders, who work to an agreed specification at a fixed price with time penalties, are usually contracted on a\u00a0per-project basis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Freelands has a supplementary aim to build a long-term investment portfolio by retaining selected properties. \u00a0The\u00a0company has strictly adhered to a risk reducing strategy, enabling it to profit from both capital appreciation and an increasing rental income. \u00a0In this case, the sale price of properties may be adjusted from the company\u2019s share of the\u00a0profit, ensuring the external investors receive the same returns as if an open market sale had been completed. In these\u00a0situations, Freelands will usually offer external investors the opportunity to retain a share if they wish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"tabs-about-2\" class=\"tab_content\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With our experience in the regional property markets of South East London and North Kent, we have built up a vast network of contacts with Estate\u00a0Agents, Property Auctioneers, Letting Agents, Property Management Companies, Solicitors, Property Investment Companies\u00a0and other professionals and, as such, we can bring experience to bear in any market condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>We have gained a strong reputation as being reliable property professionals and often rely on this experience to be the first choice for agents or individuals looking for the quick\u00a0sale without risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We pay well and are able to deal with transactions very quickly. \u00a0Ass such, we are often offered \u2018off market\u2019 properties at below market\u00a0prices where the sellers need a quick sale and do not want a long wait for unreliable buyers with all the difficulties consistent with raising mortgages and organising surveys, particularly in the current climate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Freelands is therefore very much positioned as an \u2018insider\u2019 in the property market, able to turn a profit in any market condition. \u00a0We are not at the\u00a0mercy of conflicting press reports and market research surveys causing\u00a0confusion. \u00a0Whist we keep up to date with the industry and the state of the market generally, we also use our instincts to see the hidden value,\u00a0often locked deeply within a project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let&#8217;s not forget\u00a0however\u00a0that, whilst we all love to see a property reflecting its full potential, our business model is ultimately decided by numbers. If we\u00a0calculate a better return for our client&#8217;s money through a quick re-sale or limited minor works (e.g. clearing, cleaning &amp; decoration)\u00a0then that will be the route we\u2019ll follow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"tabs-about-3\" class=\"tab_content\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The reputation of our team and the projects they have completed speak for themselves. \u00a0Known and respected throughout our markets, Freelands enjoys a great advantage over its competitors in the residential property market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong> Our aims are to deliver:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0A fair deal for stakeholders (Investors, Contractors, Lenders);<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0The chance for investors to be involved in London\u2019s lucrative residential property market without the work, worry and stress;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0A simple and safe business plan that spreads the risk;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0Over 30 years of combined experience;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0A wealth of contacts &amp; proven contractors;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0Long term relationships with supportive banks &amp; investors;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0The opportunity to leverage funds to maximum levels;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0Professional reporting on each project;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0Building projects completed on time and within budget;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0A qualified team, covering every aspect of the business;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 \u00a0An wide and varied knowledge bank, enabling us to meet our goals;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/?page_id=38\" class=\"button black\" target=\"_self\"><span>Contact Us<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"template-fullwidth.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-429","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=429"}],"version-history":[{"count":78,"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":438,"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/429\/revisions\/438"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.freelands-property.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
