Brilliant Buy to Let Remortgage Opportunity – Only available for 1 week

A leading lender in the Buy to Let market is offering rates of 4.29 percent on a 2 year fixed deal and 3.79 percent on a 3 year tracker deal.

·         With a  reduced 0.5% arrangement fee
·         Up to 75% loan to value
·         £500 cash back to cover valuation fee

This is good compared to any BTL products but at 75% loan to value, these costs are unheard of in recent times.  I am calling all my landlord clients today, quite a few have been waiting for an opportunity to refinance or raise additional funds and finally some reasonably prices products to allow this.

Unsurprisingly they will not be around forever, in fact both products are being withdrawn in one week, so all applications HAVE to be in by the 3rd and then completed by 30th June.  So for anyone interested get in touch urgently so we can book the funds, it really is a fantastic opportunity.

An Apprentice's update Month 5

Another month draws to a close and the sun is out yet again, it's annoying how that always happens when I'm working.
Apprenticeship progress is going along quickly and smoothly, after my recent exam success I have wasted no time in knuckling down into my revision material and I have booked my 3rd exam of 8 for the end of this month. Feeling pretty confident about it so hopefully I'll be able to move on to the next module. fingers crossed.

Our trophy that we received at the National Estate Agency Awards 2011 has finally arrived in one piece (the last one was sent broken) so that has taken its proud spot on the mantel piece, hopefully next year to be joined by a Gold award! I'll tweet a picture of it later @thinkpropertyuk.

Buisness is good so plenty to be getting on with, speaking of which im going to crack on with some good old admin.

The world is supposed to end tonight so if it does, good bye, and if it doesn't, I'll speak to you when I pass my next exam!

Happy Weekend and thanks for reading.

Massive saving

Good morning all.
Well another beautiful Saturday morning and another busy week. Apart from the normal comings and goings in the office the online website www.thinkonlineproperty.co.uk has started finding people and we have had a few happy clients this week. One in particular has put his beautiful Surrey house on to sell with us
and it has saved him over £13000 in fees.
So you can imagine how happy he is and it's great for us.

So if you would like to know more about how we can sell your property for £395 +vat then please get in touch and I can answer all your questions on what we do.

All that leaves me to say is have a great weekend and speak soon.

It's going to be a good one.

Remortgage of the decade!!

What a busy time at Think Property, the online estate agency is up and running and off to a great start with plenty of properties let out and sales agreed already this month.

Also importantly for me, plenty of financial services leads and new clients referred to me which is great news, I really do appreciate such great support from the team.

In recent weeks a couple of fantastic mortgages have come on to the market place, perfect for anyone wanting to remortgage to a lower rate or wanting to raise capital.  With a rate at around the 2.5% mark and importantly NO FEES and available up to 70% loan to value, for anyone on a Standard Variable Rate of 3% or above it is likely to be a no brainer.  I have made several applications for clients previously on SVRs over the last couple of weeks, including a couple wanting to raise capital to buy another property.  Perfect for any potential new landlords, instead of paying higher fees and rates with a buy to let mortgage, they have raised the capital and as well as saving a packet are also now cash buyers and in a great position for a bargain!  

As always let me know if you want more info.

What a week

Hi everyone. Well its 6pm on Friday and Mark and I are off for a well deserved drink in the sun to end a busy and productive week.

The first week of May (I know, how on earth can that be !!?) and we have started the month brilliantly.
Josh already has made a huge dent into what he is hoping to do this month, Emma is getting more and more recommendation which means more properties to sell. So all good. Well done guys.

Also we started marketing our online side of the business this week and have taken on a few properties on that side too, we have one very happy client who we are saving over £13K on selling his house...... I will look forward to the nice chilled bottle of Dom Perignon he has promised us when that is sold.

If you havent seen our new online site please have a look and let us know your thoughts, as ever we are keen to learn what you think.

Right, time to switch off the computer for a few hours and relax.
Hope you all have a great weekend.

An Apprentice's update Month 5

Well well, alot of exciting things have happened in the last few months. I'll give you an update with my progress and also I'll tell you why is now award winning!! 
I'll start with the National Estate and Letting Agents Awards 2011. This took place last month in London with Phil Spencer (from Ch4's Location Location), presenting the awards. Think Property were shortlisted in the Letting Agent of the year award for the South East and also the whole of the UK. Mark and Peter went to represent the Company and gave us regular email updates on what was going on. We were delighted to learn that we had been voted by you, our clients, the NUMBER 1 Letting Agent in Essex. We came a brilliant 2ND in the South East Category and a fantastic 6TH in the WHOLE of the UK. Great stuff! Next year we want to win the lot!! It's great to know that our clients think that we do a good job! So thank you to everyone that contributed!

It's been an extremely busy time in the office so far this quarter; our new oniline estate agency has launched and actually today has been a particularly productive day with the online site so keep a look out for us http://www.thinkonlineproperty.com/.

As I've mentioned previously, I have 8 exams to pass. 4 for Lettings and Property Management, and 4 for the Sale of Residential Property. Well this week I passed the 2nd of my exams which means I have 6 to go so things are moving along quite quickly, I'm hoping to take my next two exams before the summer so I'm going to bury my head in revision next month. That and training for an Ironman in July will keep me busy I think.

I'm a third of the way through my apprenticeship and it has gone like a bolt of lightening. I'm really enjoying working at Think and Mark, Emma and the rest of the team are very good people to learn from. The more I get involved with things, the more I want to do more and more and push my progression on! The next 3-4 months promise to be busy and I can't wait!

Happy Wednesday everyone and I'll blog again soon!

Thanks for reading

By the way, I solved my car situation and now have a tidy little KA to run round in. Great fun to drive and nippy too!
