Property is no longer considered an ‘alternative investment’ it is a viable investment option that offers excellent returns on initial capital. But keeping track of the fast moving and often highly dynamic market is time consuming for the investor, yet essential if profits are to be maximised.

Now, TheMoveChannel.com has introduced two new services that cater specifically for these essential ingredients of successful investment strategy:

Launched this week, the services provide a personal approach to two essential aspects of property investment - finding the property that suits your portfolio/investment criteria and reviewing your existing portfolio in the light of opening markets, trends and competition.

Investment property search

With demand for investment and overseas properties continuing to soar it has become harder and very time consuming for investors to source and then achieve the right opportunity at the right price.

The Investment Property Search service profiles your investment criteria and delivers national and international property investment options as appropriate for your ability and expectations. Ground floor entry to property investment opportunities may often be negotiated and research conducted so that clients’ capital goes further.

Dan Johnson, director of TheMoveChannel.com says: “Our consultants’ use jargon-free language when detailing information on the performance of your investments.”

“Working at the forefront of the international property market we talk daily with economists, developers, and local authorities. Above all, you will benefit from the fact that we are experienced in and have already overcome the ‘red tape’ obstacles that often exist between your capital and UK international property projects.”

Investment portfolio review

The dynamics of UK property markets fluctuate considerably and a proactive approach to successful property investment is of paramount importance if profits are to be maximised.

Furthermore, as inventive finance and buy to let purchasing enables more and more of us to build substantial property portfolios, competition in the marketplace is increasing and satisfactory profit levels are harder to achieve.

Successful portfolio management can often benefit from a fresh approach and investigation into global territories such as overseas investment, particularly from the expansion of the European Union.

Working on a one to one basis directly with investors or in conjunction with your portfolio manager, the Investment Portfolio Review Service offers investors smarter options on UK and global property investment.
