Off-market investment property is attractive for many reasons. As a trusted off-market property sourcing specialist, we’ve helped over 2,000 budding investors elevate their portfolio. Based on our experience, here are the main benefits of investing in an off-market property.
The process is quicker and more direct
You don’t need to use an estate agent when buying an off-market property. That means you can streamline the investment process and negotiate with the seller rather than deal with a time-consuming intermediary. A direct and impartial process like this saves time, is less stressful, and usually results in you securing the best price for your investment.
There’s less competition to fend off
Usually, you’ll be the only potential buyer. That means you won’t have to compete with rival bidders, which will ultimately put pressure on you as an investor and drive prices up. Without a bidding war or estate agent fees to contend with, you can take your time, make sensible decisions, and secure a bargain.
The transaction is smoother
An estate agent usually complicates the property-buying process as they act as an in-between for buyer and seller. But as you and the seller can’t talk directly, having an impartial conversation about terms and prices can be tricky. Often, you’ll be at the mercy of the estate agent, which makes the process longer than it needs to be—and essential details can get lost in the mix. As the off-market property buying process is direct, its easier to navigate and results in a positive outcome for the buyer and seller.
The process is more private
Buyer and seller privacy is paramount when investing in off-market property (through us). As a buyer you won’t have to worry about your personal details being misused. For the seller, off-market processes allow for a discreet sale without the wider public, neighbours or tenants knowing about the transaction.
These are typically regular residential houses, two to three-bedroom terraces, semi-detached, detached or flats. These houses suit the average renter and are sometimes known as vanilla buy-to-let properties.
A House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) is a rented property typically occupied by at least three people who are not from one household or five or more people, forming two or more households. These types of lets are particularly attractive to students and young professionals.
This type of buy-to-let is a freehold block that offers multiple separate or independent residential units. Blocks of flats or houses converted into flats usually fall into this category.
These are very similar to HMOs and often referred to as non-licensable HMOs. They have many characteristics of a typical HMO but don’t require a licence. But, these types of property may still need planning permission from your local authority.
As the name suggests, this is a commercial premises where you let the property out to one or more businesses. You’ll usually need to secure a commercial landlord mortgage, business buy-to-let mortgage or commercial investment mortgage to invest in this type of property.
| Type of investment | Properties that fall into this investment type | Pros | Cons | Average yields |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional buy-to-let | Houses, bungalows, and flats. | BTLs have the potential for long-term capital appreciation, consistent rental income, and strong tenant demand in most UK regions. | BTLs can be management-intensive (due to tenant issues or repairs, for example), and void periods can impact your income as you'll have to cover costs between tenants. | 6.93% gross. |
| HMO | Houses, bungalows, and flats. MUFBs (blocks of flats) are also relevant here. | In most cases, HMOs offer higher rental yields compared to traditional buy-to-lets as well as less risk of void periods as you can let multiple rooms individually. There's also a strong demand for HMOs in university regions, cities, and commuter towns. | HMOs require more management and maintenance than traditional BTLs, come with stricter regulations and licensing requirements, and have the potential for higher maintenance costs due to additional wear and tear. | 8 to 12% gross. |
| Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat (BRRR) | All types of property that are in a ‘distressed’ state and in need of a clear renovation strategy. | With BRRRs, there's a potential to make a healthy profit through 'forced appreciation. BRS will also make a strong addition to your property portfolio with less initial capital tied up after refinancing. If you choose to take a BTL route before selling, BRRRs also offer the prospect of healthy rental income. | BRRRs are often time-consuming and command strong project management skills. Without the right skills, experience or connections, you risk busting your renovation budgets and extending void periods due to delays in project completion. | Profits vary greatly depending on region, property type, the scope of the work, and existing market conditions. |
| Straight property flip | Houses, bungalows, and flats that are classed as ‘do-er-up-ers’ and need a little work to attract the right target buyers. | Straight-flip properties offer the potential for swift and substantial profits. As you're essentially buying a property to fix up and flip, you can also invest and sell at times when the market is more favourable to maximise your profits. | On the flip side, there's a higher risk involved (market fluctuations, unexpected repair costs, and delays in selling, for instance), and your profits can be taxed as income rather than capital gains in certain circumstances. | Between £10,000 and £75,000.*This is a guide and profits can vary greatly depending on the property type, the scope of the project, and current market conditions. |
Please keep in mind the yields in this table are averages, and you will achieve far higher with our properties as they are below market value.
Quality off market properties aren’t always easy to find. Countless investors will spend their time trawling through Rightmove, trying to calculate potential yields on potential properties. But with so much competition, finding an ideal investment in the public domain is frustrating, time-consuming, and doesn’t often result in success.
You can make your search more efficient and source suitable off market properties by:
- Talking to local estate agents and requesting early access to properties before they go live on the public market.
- Network with property buyers and investors to discover quality off market property deals that suit your needs.
- Search on social media for people looking to sell their properties privately. This may not be strictly ‘off market’, but you could connect with potential investment opportunities you wouldn’t otherwise see on the likes of Rightmove.
- Keep your ears to the ground and try to catch any potential off market investment opportunities through word of mouth. If you hear that a friend or relative is thinking about selling their property, don’t hesitate to inquire.
Property sourcing specialists: Without doubt, this is the most effective way of finding the best off market investment opportunities to suit your needs.
Find your next off market investment with the property sourcing company
We do things a little bit different to other property sourcing companies. Most of our competitors act as middle people who find you the best deals. But, we’re part of a group of companies that includes a cash property buyer, so vendors looking to sell their property quickly (and usually off-market) come straight to us.
We’ll find you the best possible deal for your requirements. Making sure your purchase is profitable is also our top priority. We don’t just want you to buy a single property from us—we want you to come back to us time and time again (which we’re sure you will). Don’t delay…
There are plenty of benefits to buying and selling a property off-market (including less competition and better investment prices). If you’re solely looking at on-market properties, then you’re likely not exploring the entire property market and potentially not getting the best possible deal for your needs. By signing up with us, you’ll unlock the potential of properties that you won’t find on the open market, completely free of charge.
Fill out a contact form on our website and we’ll be in touch. Once we’ve discussed what kind of property you are searching for, we’ll add you to our exclusive mailing list and send properties that meet your needs directly to your inbox.
Unfortunately, without knowing what kind of property you’re looking to invest in, it’s impossible to say what returns you can expect. If you get in touch with us directly, we’ll show you example properties and give you an idea of the numbers you might see from specific types of off-market investments.
