Questions about our services
Which service should I start with?
Most first-time investors start with a straightforward buy-to-let in a stable area, sourced to a written brief. HMOs, commercial property and lease options suit investors who already own property and want more income, longer leases or more control. A short call is usually enough to tell which fits.
Do you charge for the first call?
No. The first conversation about your budget, goals and areas is free and carries no obligation. Our sourcing fee is set out in written terms before any search starts, and it is payable only if a purchase completes.
Do you manage or refurbish properties after purchase?
Not directly. LAT sources the property and helps you buy it. For refurbishment and lettings we introduce you to contractors and letting agents, and you contract with them yourself.
Can you help with more than one strategy?
Yes. Many investors start with a buy-to-let and move on to an HMO or a commercial unit later. The brief changes with the strategy, and we source against whichever brief you are working to at the time.
