SOUTH EASTERN HOMES

What are the potential risks of investing in property?

How do I know my investment is secure?

South Eastern Homes purchase at a minimum of
20% below market value.

This makes for a robust investment with a day one
buffer, negating market volatility. Thus, the ability
to return capital on an on-going basis to investors
is very strong and, in all instances, investor returns
come before South Eastern Homes’ returns.

By buying below market value before carrying out
value adding refurbishments,

South Eastern Homes ensure a large portion of
equity is retained in the property for refinancing or
realising via a sale, as required.

About Thanet

picture

Why Thanet?

Affordable cost of living, and high speed rail journey times from Ramsgate to St Pancras
in 1hour and 16 minutes Thanet has seen a huge increase in popularity in recent years.
Testament to this, an article written in the Telegraph 2017:
“Increasingly, Londoners are exchanging their fractious suburban commutes for a
75-minute journey covering 80 miles on a high-speed train for three days a week
instead of five. For second-home owners, the Friday night exodus is a doable 90
minutes’ drive from London, compared with at least five tortuous hours and 280
miles to Cornwall. Thanet is coming of age.”
Since the Turner contemporary art gallery was opened in 2011, there is growing
investment in the Thanet area and there is no sign of slowing down. Live Margate is
a Thanet Council 10- 15 year investment programme. This is what they have to say:
“We aim to make Margate, in particular Cliftonville West and Margate Central, a place
where more people aspire to live. We will achieve this by:
- Increasing the number of family homes
- Improving living and housing standards
- Encouraging investment and owner occupation.
£23.1 million is being invested into the programme through a number of key organisations
in addition to Kent County Council, including Thanet District Council and the Homes and
Communities Agency”,

the investor
