Over the weekend I went to see a shop and uppers in a location that is considered set to rise.  The journey took about an hour, but one has to follow the money.  Being nearby is not on the criteria for a good investment. 

We have just closed a small deal for a client in South East London.   

In the Allsop’s commercial auction there are a load of properties occupied by Santander, all on short leases, with little prospect of renewal.  

Currently, we are analysing a property in South London, which consists of about 2,500 sq. ft.; about half of this is residential and the other half is commercial.  It is close to a station and the commercial comes vacant, which is good, as you...

We are about to start the planning process for a corner property purchased, for a client, in Cricklewood, North West London

There is an interesting deal we are looking at. It consists of retail and uppers; the retail is empty

Last week we were tracking a property due to come into auction. The property was an empty commercial building outside of London

There are a couple of deals close to Marble Arch which are in the hands of the receiver. The properties consist of two bedrooms and, surprisingly, three bathrooms

Often, trying to close a property deal becomes more like detective work; and at times we do have to use specialist consultants to do the digging around for us

Currently, we are looking to refurbish a block of flats we have in NW London.  The cheapest quote I got was from a builder who could do the whole lot for £180K.
