Investment services

We help private investors find residential property, assess the likely income and costs, complete the purchase and arrange local management. You can appoint us for the whole process or for specific stages. We agree our responsibilities and fees before work begins.

Property search and assessment

We start with your budget, how you want to use the property, how long you plan to keep it and the income you expect. We use those priorities to choose locations and homes. The budget must cover transaction costs, any initial work, furnishing and a reserve as well as the purchase price.

A shortlist worth viewing

For each shortlisted property, we explain why it may suit you, the main costs and any questions still unanswered. We organise viewings and request further information from the seller or developer. For a new home, we review the specification, payment schedule and handover arrangements. For an existing property, we consider its condition, documents and renovation needs.

Purchase costs and annual expenses

We compare the total purchase cost with a realistic estimate of annual rental income. Vacancy, management fees, maintenance and building charges are listed separately. We distinguish confirmed figures from estimates and show how lower rent or an unexpected repair would affect the result. Financing and tax questions are referred to the appropriate specialists.

An illustrative budget

A €250,000 property, plus €12,000 in buying costs, €15,000 for initial work and furnishing, and a €5,000 reserve, requires €282,000 in total. Rent of €1,200 a month with one vacant month produces €13,200 a year. After €3,200 of owner-paid expenses, €10,000 remains before tax and financing, about 3.55% of the capital invested. These figures illustrate the calculation. They are not an available offer or a forecast.

Managing the purchase

Once you choose a property, we organise the remaining tasks, documents and deadlines. We keep in touch with the seller, local lawyer and relevant technical or financial specialists. The lawyer advises on ownership and contracts, and each specialist is responsible for their own work. We tell you what is still needed before signing or payment.

Handover and preparation

We follow the payment and handover timetable and record outstanding work or documents. Before completion, we discuss what is needed to prepare the home for personal use, long-term letting or holiday guests.

Letting and local management

If required, we help arrange furnishing, letting and local property management. Before a provider is appointed, we confirm their fees, reporting, repair responsibilities and daily tasks. Ongoing management may be carried out by a separately appointed local company. We keep your plans and financial information confidential and reply personally to a first enquiry within 24 hours.
