Happy Homes is run from it’s Head Office in Nottingham but we have team members all over the country. This enables us to assign one team member to every client and therefore you will be able to speak to the same person throughout your relationship with us, ensuring that you get the best possible service at all times.
How much money do I have to invest to buy an investment property with HHI?
Investments start at £10,000.
How much will HHI pay for my property?
Before making an offer on any property we will conduct a full market appraisal of your property using several up-to-date online valuation tools including Hometrack (Used by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors). From this you will be fully aware of the market value of your property. Depending on your individual circumstances and the services that you require from us our offer will be based on this market appraisal.
What happens if tenants damage the property or stop paying rent after I have brought it?
We provide a commercial rent guarantee which covers this and protects the investor.
How do I know that I am buying at a fair price?
Unlike buying through an estate agent, there is no haggling or gazumping or doubt when you buy through HHI. Instead you simply pay what an independent RICS surveyor values the property at.
If I buy a house that is valued by a RICS surveyor how can I make a 15% Return On Investment?
Making a return from your Buy to Let is all about sourcing the right value property in an area which generates maximum rent. All of our properties are bought in areas which offer the best value and where the market rental value is at its highest for that type of property. Our Return On Investment (ROI) is the rental figure minus mortgage, management, and insurance costs. Often agents will quote a ‘yield’ figure which does not include these costs.
How much maintenance can I expect?
We conduct a thorough refurbishment of the property and offer a free 3 month guarantee on any works that we have done. This means that maintenance issues are kept to a minimum.
