Monitoring overheads, minimising rental voids and strategic refinancing, also contribute to enhancing portfolio performance.

Portfolio expansion

 

Once an investor has a small portfolio and positive financial position, they may be able to raise additional funds to help expand. This enables investors to diversify and spread their investments in different areas and different property classes, such as residential or commercial.

 

As a property portfolio expands, diversification can help minimise risk. Spreading the investment across different markets and locations can safeguard against fluctuations in property values.

Portfolio reviews

 

Regular reviews of property portfolios are an important element of portfolio management. A regular review of overheads can help identify cost-saving options. The portfolio should be regularly assessed from a profit and loss perspective. Such assessments may identify growth opportunities as well as any less profitable properties or those continually requiring a high level of maintenance.

 

Reviewing the portfolio can also help identify any refurbishment or major improvement opportunities that may add value and help it achieve a greater rental yield.

 

​

Refinancing

 

Refinancing can help investors find preferential interest rates, extend or shorten the loan term, or release equity.

 

Within a property portfolio, profitable properties will return money on the investment at different rates. The profits from some properties could be transferred to others, to optimise the loan to value (LTV) ratios. Lenders often charge lower interest rates to borrowers when they own a higher share in the property. 

​

​

Scalable Opportunities

 

Effective property management will help you make wiser investment decisions. Freedom to buy in different areas (southwest vs London) and in different market sectors. You might consider investing in student properties, professional and company lets, or rental property to public sector professionals, such as teachers, doctors, or nurses.
