Our latest Networking Event was held at the Jurys Inn Hotel in Birmingham on Sunday.

Phillip Bueno, one of the Director’s, led the presentation where he discussed the company’s background, past, present and upcoming deals, and also about the current market conditions.

Martin Fox from Currency Solutions also came along to give a short presentation about the services and benefits on offer from his company. Currency Solutions specialise in currency exchange and can save investors considerable amounts of money on currency transfers as well as offering among the best exchange rates on the market at any one time.

It was great to see regular investors that we had never met in person, and also new faces that were interested in what the company had to offer. Unfortunately, there were a number of investors who were keen to attend but the change of the clocks the night before caused some confusion over the real time of the event, but for those who were able to come along it proved to be very successful. Investors shared experiences and stories, and also came away with some valuable information – one investor in particular had been struggling to find a managing agent for a HMO he owned in Doncaster, which was soon resolved with the help of another where business cards were exchanged. Other investors who are part of a property network also shared information with those who were interested in joining.

A number of investors remained behind following the event to join the team for Sunday lunch in the hotel restaurant.

With the .75% drop in interest rates over in the states it now looks certain that the bank of England will follow suit and drop British interest rates by at least .25% when they meet in the first week of February.

This is great news for the savvy investor, as all signs are pointing towards the rate drop, but many more nervous investors are waiting until the announcement to snap up the bargains.

This has left a small window of opportunity where you can get great value properties with lower levels of competition from other investors. The time to buy is now and then take a tracker product with the knowledge interest rates are almost certainly going to move in your favour, giving you a strong yielding start to the new year.

Great news from the Bank of England today, rates have dropped back to 5.5% this is great news for investors.

There is also talk of a possible further cut early next year, both Halifax and Nationwide have reduced their mortgages in line with this move and the other lenders are expected to follow suit.

This is great news for investors as rental coverage will be easier to acquire and profits will go up. I’m expecting a busy few weeks up to Christmas with investors taking advantage of both the great deals available and the new lower priced mortgage products.
