Who Are ONEPORTFOLIO-NGU?

ONEPORTFOLIO-NGU is a family company owned by Colin and Karen Parker and brother’s Nigel and Chris Fitzakerley.

In early 2007, after building a personal portfolio of over 200 UK properties, we identified a clear demand from investors for a professional ‘A to Z’ property investment service.

We called this service ‘armchair property investment' because effectively – once we have your investment instructions – we do practically everything for you.

This service was quickly welcomed and widely praised and recommended on internet property investment forums and we now have over 400 properties under management for investors.

How Good Is Your Reputation?

"ONEPORTFOLIO were around before the property crash, during it and they are still here now.  That tells you everything".

That comment was made by an investor on one of the UK’s biggest internet property investment forums in reply to a question about our 'armchair' service.

There are literally 100’s of similar unsolicited independent testimonials about our company on forums such as Property Tycoon, Property Tribes and Singing Pig.

You will find that we have an outstanding reputation for honesty and integrity and for delivering exactly the service that we promise.  What we say really is what we do!

 

What Makes Your Property Service Different?

The vast majority of property investment companies offer only one service and that is property sourcing.

That means you have to do full due diligence on the property - you have to organise any refurbishment required - and you have to get the property tenanted and managed.

If you don’t have the time and experience to do this then buying a property from a sourcing company is a bit like buying the bricks and building a house yourself!

By comparison we do everything for you.  We find a property, we negotiate a genuine 20% RICS discount, undertake any refurbishment, find a tenant and manage 24/7/365.

What Type Of Property Do You Source?

We only source UK resale property - not off plan, new build or overseas – in the valuation range £50,000 to £150,000 with an average valuation of £95,000.

If you are looking to minimise risk, maximise net rental income and achieve good medium to long term capital growth our properties should fit in well with your plans.

All of our properties are ‘cash flow positive’ which means that your rental income will always exceed your mortgage and all other standard operating costs.

And - because we personally tenant and manage your property - we will only source property in areas where we know there is a strong and consistent rental demand.

Where Do You Source Property?

If you were sourcing, letting and managing your own portfolio you would almost certainly decide to buy property in the local area that you know well.

You would know the good, bad and indifferent areas and you would be close to your properties and tenants.  This would make your portfolio management far easier.

It is because of these exact same reasons that we will only source, let and manage property in the area that we know intimately, namely the North East of England.

This allows us to manage your properties 24/7/365 thereby giving you a genuine and highly professional and complete ‘armchair’ property investment service.

How Do You Select Property For My Portfolio?

A key part of our service is that we only source and offer property that matches your personal property investment strategy.

For example; you will instruct us on maximum and minimum valuation, type of property, minimum rental yield and maximum cash investment to purchase.

We will then source matching property, negotiate a 20% discount to RICS valuation, and you can then decide whether it is a suitable investment.  There is no obligation to accept a property.

If you want to view properties that we have sourced for investors please enter your email opposite and we will send your recent examples and full details of our service.

 

What Property Discounts Do You Give Me?

Buying at a genuine discount to market value should always be an essential part of your property investment strategy.

The question is of course how do you know that any property offered is at a genuine below market value price?

The answer is to have your property independently valued by RICS – the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

All of our properties are offered at a 20% discount to current open market RICS valuation which means that your discount is 100% genuine and you get instant equity of up to £30,000.

How Do You Negotiate Property Discounts?

We advertise extensively in local media throughout the North East targeting homeowners who are looking to sell quickly.

There are many reasons why homeowners want a fast sale for example; financial difficulties, divorce, separation and relocation.

In return for guaranteeing a quick sale, often within 28 days, we negotiate a discount to market value which we pass on to you.

This results in a 'win win' situation for both the homeowner and the investor. The homeowner gets the quick sale they require and you buy property at a genuine discount to market valuation.

Are Your Properties In Good Condition?

We know that you may be concerned about the condition and potential refurbishment costs when buying resale property.

That is why we guarantee that every property we offer will be refurbished to ‘ready to rent’ condition.

We can do this because we identify refurbishment costs and factor this cost in when making our offer on a property.

This means we can guarantee a 'ready to rent' condition and include the cost of any refurbishment in our fixed property sourcing fee. 

Do You Guarantee That A Property Will Rent?

Getting a property rented as soon as possible after purchase is a priority for all buy to let investors.

That is why we take full responsiblity for any property that we source for you by offering you the following rental guarantee.

If we fail to tenant your property within 28 days of purchase we guarantee to make your first mortgage payment.

We can offer this guarantee because we use our local knowledge to offer properties only in areas where we know there is a high and consistent rental demand.

 

Do You Offer A Property Management Service?

Managing properties and tenants is a full time job for which many investors do not have the time or experience.

Using third party lettings and management agents often results in a poor quality of service and constant tenant issues.

That is why we have our own in-house property management department to look after both our own portfolio and the portfolios of our investors.

This allows us to offer you a truely comprehensive 'A to Z' property investment service.

What Does It Cost To Purchase A Property?

Buy an £90,000 property from us and you will receive a genuine 20% discount and instant equity of £18,000.

Typically this property will produce a net annual income of c£2,540 after deduction of management fees and insurance.

Our sourcing fee is just £4,985 and includes all of your broker, legal and purchase costs which would total c£2,500 if you were to personally source and purchase a non-discounted property.

In addition, our sourcing fee includes any refurbishment costs and our rental guarantee.  You will see therefore that our fee is very competitive and you receive an immediate return on investment.

What Deposit Is Required?

You will need either a 20% or 25% deposit depending on availability and your choice of buy to let mortgage products.

The average purchase price of a property is £68K-£80K which means the deposit required is in the range £14K-£20K.

However, because you buy the property at a 20% discount to market value, it may be possible to remortgage the property after 6 months at the full market value.

This would allow you to release the 20% deposit you initially invested and re-invest this deposit in another property.  Our broker can organise this for you.

Can I View The Properties You Offer?

Yes of course you can and the best way to do this is on a visit day to our offices in the North East.

You can meet our directors and staff, get your questions answered personally, tour the areas where we source property and view properties currently under management.

Please be aware that over 70% of our current investors live within a 150 mile radius of central London so please do not dismiss the possibility of investing with us if you live outside of the North East.

We will take care of your properties, I promise you!
