Buying a property to let continues to be an extremely popular way of investing. Johnny Turner looks at the market and what’s available to buy
For the past five years or so, the buzz in the property market has been about buying to let. While not a guaranteed route to riches, putting money into property rather than more traditional vehicles such as shares has become a way of life for Britons.
Imagine Homes – A REVOLUTIONARY WAY to invest in property
If you’ve ever considered investing in property but the risk and effort involved has put you off, then it’s time to consider Imagine Homes – a pioneering new way for you to build an investment property portfolio.
Imagine Homes has revolutionised the investment property market by making it possible for you to buy a brand new property off plan with a two year rental income guaranteed. In other words you ‘buy already let’. Investors will be guaranteed two years rental income at 15% of the purchase price - you will get a cash lump sum equal to 7.5% of your property paid to you annually, upfront over the two year period.
Investors will choose their property from Imagine Home’s large portfolio, safe in the knowledge that Imagine Homes only selects first class properties from the best developments. Imagine Homes currently has properties for sale and to rent throughout the country in locations such as London, Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol. Investing in property through Imagine Homes also frees you of all the risks and stress usually associated with renting out property; they do all the legwork for you, from finding a suitable tenant to furnishing and managing the property.
Grant Bovey, founder and CEO of Imagine Homes, said: “Many people assume that the Imagine Homes concept is too good to be true, but this is simply not the case. We are there to take the pain and effort out of investing in property and to ensure that all investors get the best possible chance for capital growth. By offering a guaranteed two years rental income at 15% of the purchase price, we make the ‘buy to let’ sector an attractive investment option”.
For two years, investors need not have any involvement with the property and then at the end of that two year rental period they have the option of making the following choices:
· Inherit the tenant
· Rent it out
· Move in
· Sell

Imagine Homes, the company that has revolutionised the buy-to-let sector, is set to open Europe’s first retail experience that will showcase the future of property portfolio management. Imagine Homes has changed the way people invest in property and the new development will now bring this whole experience to life.
Located on the Hogarth Roundabout, the ambitious new venture will encapsulate Imagine Homes’ unique buy already let offering across a 17,000 sq ft, two-storey state of the art centre. This multi-million pound investment has allowed Imagine Homes to create the ultimate environment to consider property investment options.
Investors will be presented with a vision of the Imagine Homes proposition through a high tech audio visual theatre. The company’s county-wide portfolio of luxury properties will be delivered on a series of plasma screens, all at the touch of a button. Investors won’t need to visit their proposed purchase site; a virtual tour of all properties means they can sample every specification from the comfort of this facility.
A fully dedicated sales team will also be based on site and will be available to answer any questions investors may have. Further facilities on the ground floor include a relaxing café/ bar and a crèche with fully trained staff where parents can be confident in leaving children whilst they take in everything Imagine Homes has to offer. Executive offices, meeting rooms and a creative presentation zone will be housed on the first floor.
This ground-breaking development is situated at one of London’s most sought-after sites with its location on the A4 ensuring passing traffic around the clock. Work has already begun on implementing Imagine Homes’ vision, with doors set to open in the autumn of 2006.
Grant Bovey, founder and CEO of Imagine Homes, commented: “Since I launched Imagine Homes, the company has re-written the rules of property investment and made it easier than ever to build a portfolio.”
“The next step in our evolution was to create a space that allows investors to have a glimpse of a hassle-free and profitable future by building their property wealth. As a company we are pushing the boundaries in our field and we now believe we have the ideal space to share the vision with an even broader audience.”
Neil Christy, Creative Director and designer of Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport added “I am delighted to be working on this unique project for Imagine Homes. This development represents a major innovation in this sector. It brings together a range of state of the art technologies which showcases property investment at its highest level.”
All of the properties in Imagine Homes’ portfolio of high quality developments are in well chosen locations, with good travel links and excellent potential for capital growth. Investors will receive a guaranteed rental income of 15% of the purchase price, for the first 2 years annually in advance. What’s more Imagine Homes invest up to 20% in each of their developments for their own property portfolio – something that should give customers significant reassurance when looking to invest in the buy to let market for long term capital growth.
