Lancaster L1

Lancaster

This property is located in the city centre of Lancaster and was identified as a great opportunity to provide high quality student accommodation with a ground floor commercial space.

The project required full planning permission and lasted 6 months to create a new ground floor retail unit, a large studio on the first floor and a 5 bed HMO on the 2nd and 3rd floors. We ensured that the quality of the accommodation was the best in the market and combined with its location, this property always lets well in advance of the upcoming academic year.

What makes this a good investment

Mixed-use producing multiple income streams

City centre location

High cash flow

Strong capital growth prospects

Incredible week with a great bunch of property investors in the French Alps β›·

A lot of fun was had but from a networking and learning point of view, it was invaluable! Several great new connections made and long overdue catch ups with some familiar faces πŸ’―

.
Up until the credit crunch in 2007 I'd had it fairly easy, worked hard at school (until A levels 🍺+πŸ₯³) and did enough to get into a good uni followed by a masters degree in property and finally on to the grad scheme for my 'dream job' in #London πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’Ό
.
Fast forward to 2008 and a massive global recession where I've just been made redundant and although at the time, I was πŸ’©'ing myself, it was the best thing that ever happened to me! It was a massive πŸš€ up the arse which led me into #selfemployment and the employment of a great team around me πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
.
Soon it will be 14 years since that day my boss said I was out of the corporate world and I can hand on heart say I've worked incredibly hard AND consistently for most of that time (and will continue for some years yet) πŸ’ͺ🏻
.
I've got a long way to go until I've #madeit but sometimes you've just got to sit back and take stock of where you've come from
...Embrace the Journey πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚

This one has taken it's time but will be worth the wait! A quick purchase but then a long planning process (change of use on a listed bulding in a conservation area 🀯) and some challenging building control hurdles to jump over....
.
Experience has taught me not to stress about these things as they're out of your control....and in the grand scheme of things it will be finished, rented and refinanced in no time πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Looking forward to tucking this one in the #passiveincome column and moving onto the next #commercialconversion 😎

ME WAITING FOR PLANNING PERMISSION...⏳ . Very "c ME WAITING FOR PLANNING PERMISSION...⏳
.
Very "challenging" (🐒) planning process at the moment so have been trying to create good vibes πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ from what will hopefully be a very #zen apartment in Lancaster city centre 😎
.
We finally got a planning officer allocated this morning for phase 1 of this project so maybe the πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ is working 😜
.
I generally like projects that need planning because it often reduces the buying pool and you can create some great value πŸ’― A  lot of people just can't be bothered with the hassle but even this one has been beyond slow 🐒

WHAT AM I BUYING RIGHT NOW πŸ‘‡πŸ» . It's pretty WHAT AM I BUYING RIGHT NOW πŸ‘‡πŸ»
.
It's pretty simple.....it's anything I can add value to so that I can rent and refinance at a higher value to pull as much money out to go again. You don't need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to property investing....πŸ‘πŸ»
.
The obvious ways to increase value are through refurbishment or by adding extra space AKA BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent and Refinance) but you can also do this through change of use such as #commercialtoresidential 🏒🏠
.
My focus for the rest of 2021 is to get another project under my belt. With the πŸ”₯ market, I'm focusing solely on A1 locations with strong long term capital growth prospects. Although we have some way to go, it's time to start thinking about how your properties will fare in a downturn. Historically, the best properties in the best locations are more resilient to price decreases and are first to bounce back following a correction πŸ“ˆ
.
*This was part of a cellar that I tanked and converted into a kitchen lounge diner for a 6 bed HMO. The total cost was Β£61K which may sound high but everything was done to a high quality to stand the test of time....spending more on a refurb may reduce your initial Return On Investment (ROI) but if you're in this for the long term, it will be worth it #longterminvestor

.
Walked passed this HMO today which I sold last month. The first pic is July 2019 and at the time, the plan was to refurbish, rent and refinance but another investor made an offer I couldn't refuse so it made sense to sell 😎
.
It's now an awesome 5 bed, all ensuite shared house and although it was a tough one to say bye to, the profit from the sale was good πŸ₯³
.
It's a drop in the #ukhousingmarket ocean but I'm also proud to have turned something that wasn't fit for pigeons into high end accommodation for young professionals πŸš€
.
Property investing doesn't always turn out how you planned but that's half the fun right?

1. 230 years old 😱
2. Needs planning permission (takes forever)
