Professional Due Diligence

Every property is fully verified for quality, compliance, and investment performance.
  • Independent structural surveys and legal checks
  • Rental yields verified with local letting agents
  • Transport and infrastructure impact assessments
  • Regeneration timeline monitoring for progress tracking
Exclusive Off-Market Access
We source directly from motivated sellers, developers, and professional partners, which means many opportunities are secured before they ever reach the open market. Typical scenarios include probate sales, divorce settlements, or owners facing financial difficulties who need a quick and reliable transaction. By stepping in at this stage, our investors gain priority access to properties with stronger returns and reduced competition, while sellers benefit from a straightforward solution.

Exclusive Access to Off Market Deals

In outer London and commuter areas, 5.5-8% gross yields are achievable and considered strong. Central London typically offers 3-4% yields but with historically higher capital growth potential over the long term. Our rental yield calculator London results show the best opportunities are in the commuter corridor.

How accurate is this BTL profit calculator?

Our BTL profit calculator uses current market data and realistic assumptions including:

- Actual mortgage rates from BTL lenders
- Conservative 3% annual growth (London 20-year average is 5.2%)
- Real management and maintenance costs
- Current tax regulations

Should I use a rental property calculator before viewing?

Absolutely. Using a rental property calculator first helps you:

- Set realistic budgets
- Compare areas objectively
- Avoid emotional decisions
- Negotiate from a position of knowledge

What’s the difference between yield and ROCE?

Yield = (Annual Rent ÷Property Price) × 100
- Example: £18,000 rent ÷ £250,000 property = 7.2% yield

ROCE = (Annual Income -Annual Expenses) ÷ Cash Invested × 100
- Example: (£18,000 income - £12,156 expenses) ÷ £75,000 invested = 7.8% ROCE

ROCE shows your actual return considering both expenses AND leverage, making it the professional investor's key metric.

Can I trust online investment property calculators?

Our investment property calculator is built using real market data and conservative assumptions. However, always:

- Verify rental estimates with local agents
- Get accurate insurance quotes
- Factor in void periods (we suggest 1 month annually)
- Consult a tax advisor for your specific situation

How do I calculate buy to let profit?

Our buy to let profit calculator automatically factors in:

- Gross rental income
- Mortgage interest payments
- Management fees (typically 8-10%)
- Insurance and maintenance
- Void periods
- Annual expenses

The result shows your true monthly and annual profit after all costs. 

What’s a good property investment ROI?

Using our property investment ROI calculator, we typically see:

- Cash returns (ROCE): 15-25% in good areas
- Total returns: 20-35% including modest growth
- Minimum target: 15% to justify the investment 

Remember, ROI should always be calculated on your actual cash invested, not the property value.

Can I use this as a property income calculator?

Yes, our tool functions as a comprehensive property income calculator showing:

- Gross rental income
- Net income after expenses
- Tax implications (basic rate)
- Cash flow projections
- Annual income totals

How does the investment property yield calculator work?

Our investment property yield calculator uses the standard formula:

- Gross Yield: (Annual Rent ÷ Property Price) × 100
- Net Yield: (Annual Profit ÷ Property Price) × 100

But uniquely, we also calculate ROCE to show your leveraged returns.

Is this suitable as an investment property profit calculator?

Yes, our investment property profit calculator provides detailed profit analysis including:
- Monthly cash flow
- Annual net profit
- Return on investment
- Break-even analysis
- 5-year projections
