Our Due Diligence and Sourcing Process

The sourcing process with CRS Real Estate begins long before we start looking at any property. We apply a high level of due diligence and research into every area we look at before we start looking for specific properties.

Due Diligence for area

Before we look at property, we want to focus on the best areas of the UK property market. For us, the primary focus is London and commutable towns to London. We also look further afield and source in other key areas of the UK. The key criteria for us are:

• Solid fundamentals. Employment, infrastructure and investment into an area. Also narrowing down to look at the schools and shops in an area

• Price growth and rental growth

• High demand for tenants and re-sale

Property Sourcing process

Once we have identified these areas which pass our due diligence it’s about looking at the specific investment opportunity.

• We run the numbers on every property before we look at it. That means the deal and the investment must meet our required ROI and offer high returns to even be considered

• We go out and look at every property ourselves. You are secure in the knowledge that our experienced team have checked the numbers, viewed the property for any red flags and creatively assessed for any additional opportunities within the investment

• We will source from a variety of buy to lets, refurbishment and development projects, lease option agreements, serviced accommodation property and multi let HMO property. Our focus in the residential market however we do also source commercial property.

The Process for you

• The first step is to sign up to our investor list. This will give you visibility and access to the opportunities we source

• Our deals will be sent out weekly to our investors and you will receive details of the investments in the email

• If you see an opportunity you like then text the number and follow the instructions in the email to reserve it

• We will call you to discuss the investment in more detail. Once satisfied, we then pass your details on to the seller and your solicitors take over from there to begin the process of purchasing the property investment.

• If you wish to have a bespoke property sourcing service, where we find opportunities specifically for you and look for something that fits exactly to your requirements, we’d be happy to talk! Get in touch and we can have a discussion to explore how we can help.
