Frequently Asked Questions about Investing with Unity
From costs and risks to long term support, here’s everything you need to know before investing.
What if I don’t like any of the properties you show me?
Our process begins with clearly defining your investment criteria. We then present thoroughly vetted opportunities that match these agreed parameters. The number of suitable properties varies with market conditions - sometimes we find one perfect match, other times several options. If none suit your needs, we’ll gather feedback to refine our search or discuss adjusting criteria to match market realities. Our goal is finding the right investment, not rushing into any property.
How much do I need to start investing?
Typically, you'll need 25-30% deposit plus purchase costs (stamp duty, legal fees, surveys, etc.) which usually add 5-8% to the purchase price. For a £200k property, expect to need £60k-£70k total. We'll provide a detailed breakdown during consultation.
Can I invest through a limited company?
Yes, we support both personal and company purchases, with guidance on the most tax-efficient structure for your situation.
What if I find issues during due diligence?
You can withdraw at any point before exchange. We'll either negotiate solutions or find alternative opportunities.
How do you select properties?
We focus on properties with superior long-term growth prospects in London's regeneration zones and key commuter corridors. We analyse multiple growth drivers including infrastructure development, demographic trends, supply constraints, and economic fundamentals. While we always seek value, this might mean below-market purchases in stable markets or fairly-priced properties in rapidly ascending areas. Each opportunity must demonstrate strong potential from several factors, with the approach adapted to current market conditions.
What ongoing support do you provide?
We maintain relationships with all clients, providing market updates, portfolio reviews, and expansion opportunities.
