Even after the nearly 50% plunge in capital values over the past 2 years, a rebound is definitely up and has been since August of 2009, in the form of a great deal of equity from local UK investors and those in other nations ready to spend. Investing in London properties has proved fruitful for many who have certainly sought to get in on the property market while prices were low and entry was relatively easy. ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:24:46 +0000 http://www.indusproperty.com/news/great-portland-sees-dismal-outlook-for-property-market-rebound/ http://www.indusproperty.com/news/great-portland-sees-dismal-outlook-for-property-market-rebound/
The extra costs that are going to be part of any property purchase are not as well known as the cost of the mortgage and its associated fees, such as interest. One of the big things that many first time buyers forget is that there is generally a substantial deposit for the property which must be covered up front. Having this in advance is normally the very first step to owning a property and the amount of that deposit is going to vary by location of the property and what all structures, such as a house, are on that land. A Stamp Duty Land Tax is another cost that needs to be calculated in to the purchase price and this is an area where an agent could be of assistance, helping to give estimates of what one might expect to pay in terms of the tax.

Surveyors are an important part of determining the value of a property. The services of a licensed surveyor firm are not free, so these must be added in. The fee for removers also should be taken into account because there may be things which need to be removed from the property prior to anyone taking residence within it, but one may also need these services if they plan to move straight into the property. Fees for land registry also come with the purchase of any land and they, too, will play into the over all cost of a property that one intends to buy. ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:23:17 +0000 http://www.indusproperty.com/first-time-buyers/costs-involved-in-buying-that-first-property/ http://www.indusproperty.com/first-time-buyers/costs-involved-in-buying-that-first-property/ rn
rnrnObviously, one of the first things to look for is the level of maintenance and care that has been given to the rental. While it is not the absolute most important thing, it can definitely give a person a good understanding of how the landlord may handle issues in the future. Promises to have certain things fixed should include that they will be fixed prior to a move in. This may also be a good time to ask the landlord if they will give a reduction in rent to a person that is willing to do minor repairs - but always get this type of agreement in writing, just to be safe. Check the things that most people forget: the gutters, the windows, the roof and under the sink. These areas can lead to problems in the future that no tenant wants to deal with.rn

rnrnNext, appraise the level of storage space and the number of sockets for items that require electricity. There are few things worse than finding out that one has inadequate sockets after move in since little can be done. Ask about the gas and how it is operated. Also, never assume that furnishing will remain inside the property after moving in because sometimes these can be for show, rather than available to the next tenant so make certain of this if it is an important detail that will make a difference. ]]> Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:50:08 +0000 http://www.indusproperty.com/renting/how-to-view-a-rental-effectively/ http://www.indusproperty.com/renting/how-to-view-a-rental-effectively/

These figures on rate arrears were released by the Land and Property Services and are a very keen view of the massive damage the recession has done to businesses in this region of Ireland, say experts. According to the Chief Executive of the LPS, John Wilkinson, it is how long the recession has lasted that is putting the crunch on local businesses and showing the results in pure debt accrued in that part of the economy. Fortunately, of the total £157 million due at the end of March 2010, a full £30 million has been collected since March. That means domestic customers are a potential problem area because they make up only one third of the debt collected in terms of cash volume. ]]> Sat, 17 Jul 2010 10:32:00 +0000 http://www.indusproperty.com/news/nearly-2000-properties-in-northern-ireland-repossessed/ http://www.indusproperty.com/news/nearly-2000-properties-in-northern-ireland-repossessed/
