Property Auction Strategies for Investment Success

You need an overall plan that will provide you foundation for future investment decision before you enter into auction room. Make money in falling or rising market. Tactic usually covers following area,

1. How much you can invest? How much you can rise? How much you can make out? What you are planning? In repayments every month how much you can afford to it?

2. Want a home for you and your family? A bubble egg for retirement? Need a constant cash flow every month? An epoch of severe work followed by a profit, which can then be re invested for next project? Or what can we do? What you actually what your property investment to create for you?

3. What is the time scale for your planning? For 3 months or 3 years, or 7 years? Be more specific; always remain lithe with your approach as events open out.

4. Where to invest? Do you have knowledge which needs to bargains? How to manage the property far from your home?

Do you have anything regarding assumptions? Assumptions such as how much the financing will cost, how much to spent for renovation work, time taken to find out tenant and …?

This is the right time to get into specifics of identifying potential properties, talking to letting agents, having a meet with builders and surveyors, if bank ask you can even show them an outline of your business plans, based on your approach!

Damon Leigh’s Strategies co-author of Property Auctions - Check out things is made easy for you and to get understand easily. You don’t have all the information’s that you need right! So get cleared you doubts right now, here is my approach which we prefer. This will be a good model for all and helps you a lot.

Context – This is the great and correct time to get involved in property market. Cost of borrowing is still close to a 40 years low. Regular growth in property price is slowing but still thrashing the fairness markets. There’s no symbol for crash in property market.Despite of the trivial dips or hiccups that may come along the long term, there are many drivers that will push the property market still onwards.

Property demand get increase at the time of awfully low supply, this happens because:

Trend for long-term starts from large households towards smaller ones. If the population is moderately constant, means more households.

Now days there’s increase in number of single households, whether they are young people choosing to stay single longer, or elder ones or single parents or divorcees etc…. people who prefer living longer and property is reasonable for a widen section of the population because:

• Money borrowing is very cheap

• Broad availability of credits

We go for two parts to take up the maximum advantage of all these conditions,

The Long-Term Play – This simply avoids short-term market dips and interest hikes that come along for next twenty or thirty years, and point out on building a retreat portfolio which is extreme strong than anything the government, or annuity provider could offer in this environment.

The Short-Term Play – it helps to take out the cheap money that’s available in today’s market and go for maximum investment.

The Short – Term Approach – Have you hot cash ready? Then prefer in short term approach where it is fast and furious, buying and selling them in easiest way, making modest profits on each one. Want the best then point out your views on London Auctions.

Competition is greater in London than anywhere else. Allsop’s are currently getting upwards of more people at each of their London sales, according to Gary Murphy, their residential auctioneer. But on other hand the competition is not good and may drop out for non-London properties. We looked for properties in my own areas of interest we prefer north of England. But frankly speaking London auction buyers are interested in properties of south east only. Keep in mind the competition on northern properties are quite light. And also the northern property market won’t be shared by other bidders in the room. But we prefer to bid the properties where there is less competition. Two factors helped a lot for bargains,

1. Once Property is been bought, it will be sold out immediately through an auctioneer in the north, close to property area.

2. The Buyers there will be looking for local properties.

Here we have set the guide price at a level similar to price list in the London sale, so have a look at it and you will get an idea on prices list. Make out very healthy income by fixing appropriate prices on every property for fifty properties a year.

The Long-Term Approach - Here we buy two properties at auction. Prefer to buy at discount to market price, means that they have sitting tenants. So it saves time from finding out new tenant! Or it means that there’s a need of property modernizing or renovation in such cases there’s need of renovation funds too.
These properties cover the mortgage repayments and then some. Repeat this for next year. So one can raise the deposit. Later this approach becomes self-supporting.

Instead of remortgaging my own home, we start to do with investment properties i.e. property bought in year 1. This provides me surplus amount of money and so my domain grows day by day. Provided that we never sell properties, no need for capital gains tax, no need for children to pay inheritance tax, all you need to do is proper planning. Move your pension funds under self-invested personal pension for tax-efficiency. Later we can use this money to buy commercial property investment that will assemble within my pension, and so free form tax.

Consultant Auctioneer – There are simple strategies that are understandable say buy residential property below market value, renovate it and sell it on. Even amateurs, who are gripped by television programs, go for renovating a property and sell them at profit. They all of sudden they are property developer!

Deemed Consent – Have you realized why large site developments seem to take longer time? When planning permission is granted the appropriate authorities have been notify, and work does finally start and then Developers have permission to stiff advertising hoardings around that site until the work is finished for two years, or even sooner.

There are many advertising – Hoarding companies which will seriously pay amounts of money get their hoarding on sites for at least two years.

Mark up and Sell on - Now a days there are growing number of professionals who make use of auctions for selling than buying. They buy more property as their finances permit within their area limit. They buy the property form local estate agents, or make use of other methods like newspapers to buy for hot cash, advertising etc… these properties will be sold in auctions for higher rate.

Often now a days people are carried by auctions, this is been a common phenomena in northern side, where there are cheaper rate properties prevailing. Buyers are not worried about the research the local estate agents to get the average market prices for the area. They taught it is in auction so it might be cheap. Not so. As a buyer you can never research your target properties enough!
