RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
Residential Investments Provide for your future – the smart way. Buying an apartment is an excellent investment that offers a regular, long-term source of income. As a real estate investment, selfbuild schemes are particularly attractive. The big advantage of this model over buying a finished apartment is tax savings, thanks to the attractive depreciation period for the costs of renovation work and other tax breaks. When it comes to investments that are designed to provide for the future, security and stability are the prime considerations. Carefully selected bricks and mortar investments keep their value, keep up with inflation, and provide a solid foundation for capital growth. As an investor, you receive income from leasing or letting your property, and enjoy additional tax benefits. EHL has been advising clients on all manner of real estate investments for over 20 years. Our expert team analyses and monitors the market, so we know exactly where your investment will generate the best returns. Why not reap the rewards of our expertise?

Restructuring Your property portfolio as a long-term source of income. A property’s ability to generate income depends on a number of factors that are in a constant state of flux. So it is essential that property owners react to changes as they happen, continue to invest in protecting cash flows, manage tenant changeovers, adapt financing structures, dispose of individual properties or add to their portfolios. We know that financial emergencies can trigger restructuring – but it can also be the result of a conscious decision to maximise the potential of your current portfolio. As a property owner you should be asking yourself whether the performance of your portfolio matches your expectations. � If not, why not? • Have you noticed a dramatic dip in performance recently? • Are there any ways that you can optimise yields through measures such as increasing occupancy rates? • Do you have the necessary expertise and resources to carry out the changes you need to implement? • Do you need to commit to a capital investment, and can you afford to do so from your cash flows, an injection of capital or by taking out loans? • Do you need to sell individual properties? • Do the financing structure and risk profile still match your investment goals? If these questions sound familiar to you, but you lack the necessary resources and are looking to enlist the support of an external expert, then EHL is the ideal partner – we draw on our extensive experience of countless similar situations encountered with a wide range of property investors over the years.
