Questionsto ask
In short: Property investment firms range from estate and letting agents and sourcing agents to fund managers and developers. Check whether the firm or product is regulated (some property investments, such as collective schemes, must be FCA-regulated), how they're paid, and whether they have conflicts of interest. Be wary of guaranteed returns, pressure to commit quickly and off-plan schemes in unfamiliar locations. Fraser Bond is a London estate and letting agency; we help investors buy, let and manage property, and we're clear about our fees.
