Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Unique selling/investment proposition
A number of property investment companies simply exist to offer their own properties to clients (normally new builds) and bombard investors with e-mails promoting them - whether these properties are right for the client or not. Others will only sell properties to clients if they also agree to pay for the refurbishment costs and will then drastically alter the appearance of the flat to create extra rooms in order to create better yields. This strategy is fine in a rising market but investors may find it difficult to sell at a profit if the market slows down. Also, when you come to sell the property normally you are restricted to the investment market and the property may have limited appeal to owner occupiers.
Fastest growing property investment company in Scotland
McEwan Fraser's fee income and turnover for 2008 was £16million with no bank borrowings or outside finance and 95% of our property sales are carried out within the central belt of Scotland. No other property investment company comes close to offering its clients the quantity of both "off market" and below market value, properties in the central belt of Scotland.
Award winning professional service
McEwan Fraser do things entirely differently. Clients enjoy the services of a designated, experienced property consultant who can help organise everything from setting up a commercial funding package to advising on the most tax efficient vehicle to help you acquire properties. All our consultants go through a comprehensive bespoke in-house advanced property investment training course. We believe our consultants are the most knowledgeable in the industry and can offer investors much more than just "off market" properties.
Choice of property investments to suit you
Our consultants discuss clients' investment objectives and only then offer specialised advice and commence a search for suitable "off market" residential/ commercial property investment opportunities that meet your stated objectives. Our clients also have the opportunity to invest in residential, commercial, syndicate investments and land which truly provides our clients with a unique investment proposition, thus offering clients the opportunity to become involved in property deals they would otherwise never have access to.
Development/ refurbishment opportunities
Clients who are looking for properties in need of refurbishment have the opportunity to renovate the properties themselves and consequently make the profit rather than the investment property company (see testimonials). Clients then have the choice to trade the property on the open market, or to turn the property into a rental investment. It may sound attractive to some investors that the investment company takes care of the entire refurbishment but you, the client, are paying dearly for the privilege.
Maximise your rental income
We can provide traditional properties both residential and commercial with tenants already in place, ensuring you an immediate rental income stream as soon as you take ownership of the property. You then have the choice of managing the property yourself to maximise income or to choose a letting agent from our preferred partners (see partners) or a letting agent you have previously dealt with.
Local knowledge and strategic business partners
McEwan Fraser only operates in selected areas of Scotland , where our consultants have excellent local knowledge and strategic business partners to help us provide 'off market' opportunities to our clients. We do however provide commercial and land acquisition opportunities throughout Scotland .
Private limited company
McEwan Fraser is a private limited company with no outside shareholders or banks to answer to. We believe it is difficult to act in the best interest of clients if you have outside shareholders.
