Choices Testimonials

Mr M Tracey

I have been a customer of Choices for quite a number of years, and during that time have made a number of purchases of properties that were either distressed or being sold by distressed sellers. Utilising the services of Choices provides me with an accurate valuation of the property, a genuine negotiated discount which provides immediate equity to support any loan application. I have not had a single instance where any bank appointed valuer has downrated the valuation provided by Choices. This provides an excellent base to help inform sound decision making and mitigates some of the price volatility normally associated with acquisitions. Coupled with this they provide well informed and independant advice on Gross development values. Given the current market dynamics credible independent advice is fundamental to decision making and making a profit. The fact that I return time and time again reflects the confidence I have in Choices as an independent professional service.

Mr and Mrs Lane

We have known about Choices since 2007. We attended a seminar about the services they offer, and since this point in time have purchased two properties through them. The first property was in 2007, the second was in 2009. Both properties were buy to let and have been successfully rented out.

We have found Choices to be helpful and polite. The work that is necessary to conclude the purchase has been minimised. Choices offers a designated solicitor and finance company if you wish to use them. For us, this has cut down time we need to give. With the first purchase Choices was able to suggest a management agent, whom we are continue to use for the second property. The management agent is a godsend. Monitoring the property, arranging for neccessary repairs. All in all this makes the package presented by Choices a very good arrangement.

The bottom line is the finance. The first property was valued for mortgage purposes at £183,500, we purchased at £155,975. The second property was valued at £140,000, we purchased at £115,000. Both are long term investments. However the first property after two years is showing a healthly rental return!

With the first purchase Choices gave us the confidence to start to develop a property portfolio. We currently have the property we live in, two rental properties and potentially a third purchase in another two years.

Mr C Bagnell

We became a Choices client six months ago and are about to complete the purchase of the 3rd property acquired through their services and within the next three months we anticipate adding a further two or three properties to our portfolio. Our underlying medium term strategy is to achieve substantial capital growth as the property market recovers, and to follow this up with an on-going income stream from a very favourable purchase price to rental income ratio. This strategy is only possible through the very substantial discounts that are possible through Choices reputation and buying power - the initial fee charged by Choices was recovered many times over on the discount we obtained on the first property we acquired through them.

As our working relationship with Choices has developed, their service has evolved to pro-actively monitor the market for possible acquisitions that match the price, geography and property type that we are seeking to create a balanced portfolio....It is normal for them to call us two or three times a week to discuss properties that may be of interest to us.

Mr Hothi

I upgraded my membership mid July to receive below market value properties. With Martin - my personal advisor - assisting, I have bought 1 distress sale in Doncaster which was a SARB with a 10%+ rental yield. He has since helped me to reserve another BTL in Doncaster with between a 8-9% rental yield, which should exchange in a week or so. I have made a profit from buying them and receive a passive income because of the high rental yields I have achieved. Hopefully I will be able to buy more soon!

Mr and Miss Padalia

Hi, it has been about 5 months since we joined Choices Property Acquisitions. Choices is a very good company that is very useful for using as a guidance when investing in properties. Choices provided us with great information, of ways to be successful in property investment. I am very pleased with Choices and also very glad that I became a member of Choices. I have experienced great service from the advisors I have spoke to. When I joined Choices I was introduced to an advisor, Martin Logan, who has helped us through to choosing a property that is most suitable for us. Martin has provided us with lots of information and advice that we have found very useful when deciding to buy our first property.  

Mr W Tomie

We have purchased several properties from Choices and without doubt would not have been able to buy at this price on the open market. We look forward to continue doing business with them.

Mr M Stevens

Being new to the property investment market, I needed a company with large scale research facilities and relationships with a wide range of agents. Over the last 6 months, Choices have continually found these kinds of deals for me and as such all my purchases are both making me money and increasing in capital value.

Dr G Roberts

I have been a retained client of Choices for some nine months, during which time I have so far purchased three properties through them. All have been at prices which have proved to be below market value and all have been successfully let at around the rental value suggested. Steve Cubitt has been particularly helpful in providing advice and in sourcing and negotiating with local lettings agents. I am looking forward to the next deal!

Ms Sue F

I would like to say just how much I am enjoying and reaping the benefits of investments through Choices. So far I have bought a BMV 3 bedroom house in Wales and refurbished the property and sold on for a clear profit of £12,000 early this year even when the market was slow. I have also bought a 2 bedroom flat in London to rent and it is doing extremely well, much more than first thought. The equity in this property is at least £65,000 on a conservative figure. The rent is £1400 per month and providing a healthy yield/profit from my investment. As a retained client Choices have continually updated me in other investments on a day to day basis and I am looking forward to working with them on a regular basis. 
                

IM

I joined Choices just a week ago and following a detailed discussion with Martin Logan about the type of property I was looking for I received within a couple of days a number of potential candidates.

I am pleased to say that one in particular appeared to fit my criteria well and an on-site visit was immediately arranged to suit me. I am delighted to say that this property turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Indeed it more than fulfilled my expectations and I made an offer the same day which I am pleased to say was accepted by the vendor within 48 hours.

I must confess to having been somewhat sceptical that Choices would be able to deliver - but you will appreciate that I am now both a convert and satisfied customer. What is more the courtesy, efficiency and quality of service provided has been exemplary. The most pleasing aspect of the service provided has been that Choices has proved that they has listened carefully  to my brief and not tried to cut corners by sending me off in a direction I didn't want to go - which is most refreshing after other experiences which I am sure we have all endured at some time or other.

Mr and Mrs Ov

We built up theory knowledge for the UK property market over the years, but now we needed real practical steps to get into business.

We are new customers of Choices and we are very happy to get their services so far - advises, offers, helpful team and partners. They all do what they've promised, save time and are value for money. Recently we bought our first investment property and we are looking at the next to happen shortly. There are others offering similar services in the UK, but with Choices guidance we found it simple and clear when it comes to make a buying decision. And it works. Many thanks to the team and keep up the good work!
