STRATEGY
STRATEGY
Yieldwise specialises in providing a full turnkey service for clients which includes sourcing, acquiring, tenanting, and managing
residential properties in a specific area of the North East of England, where Chris and his team reside. They take care of the whole process to deliver a hands-off experience to their clients.
The North East of England provides a favourable combination of relatively low and stable acquisition costs*, and strong rental demand. This creates opportunities for income-generating residential property investments.
Yieldwise targets properties that deliver 12%+ gross yield to generate a solid monthly income. Yieldwise sources Below Market Value (BMV) properties by targeting motivated vendors and negotiating healthy discounts in exchange for quick purchases.
PROJECT SUMMARY
The property is a 2-bed mid-terrace house which did not need refurbishment. Yieldwise sourced the property for a client in November 2019. It was valued at £55,000 by a Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) surveyor and purchased for £45,000. This was negotiated down from a £50,000 asking price in exchange for a quick purchase.

FINANCIALS
*Gross yield is calculated by dividing the gross annual rental income by the purchase price: £5,700/£45,000 = 12.6%
**Net yield is calculated by dividing the net annual income by the purchase price: £4.560/£45,000 = 10.1%
