Seven Ways to Add Value in UK Property

Seven Ways to Add Value in UK Property

#195

Are you happy in your job? 

Do you see yourself in the same job or the same career for the foreseeable future?

If you’re looking to replace your income, either to get out of full time employment for others or because you’re worried that your full-time employer will get rid of you, then you'll need to accelerate your property story. 

For that you’ll need to look at ways to add value. 

Today, we present 7 of them.

This episode is Number 9 in our Daily Sevens Series celebrating the 12 Days of Xmas.

The 7 ways to add value are:


  • Target up and coming areas: Focus on properties in areas with potential for capital appreciation.
  • Buy at discount: Purchase properties for less by negotiating directly with motivated vendors or at auctions.
  • Sweat the asset: Maximize property returns through efficient use, like upgrading finishes or converting into an HMO.
  • Development: Add value by expanding or converting properties to increase square footage.
  • Divide and conquer: Increase income by splitting properties into multiple units or optimizing commercial spaces.
  • Paper exercises: Add value through non-physical means like lease extensions or obtaining planning permission.
  • Sophisticated strategies: Employ advanced techniques like vendor finance or purchase lease options to add value.



Our investor list is full right now, but we'll be doing more projects in the year ahead.
