Guaranteed rentals - a marketing tool or a worthwhile consideration?
Welcome to this week's Property Secrets newsletter. Simon Blakebrough discusses the guaranteed rental yields offered by some developers - normally nothing more than a marketing ploy that works...but Simon reckons there are occasions when they may well be useful to the savvy investor. SIPPs appear to be back from the dead, according to David Lawrenson at least, and he also talks vermin - rats and mice and what to do if you get a problem with them to be precise!

So many people seem to leave their hard-headed investor's hat at home when they come across 'guaranteed rentals' - normally they are nothing more than a marketing ruse...but...

Brasov, Romania
Bellevue Residence Investment Report » Unique luxury development in hillside location with beautiful views of Brasov and surrounding mountains
» Exclusive to Property Secrets, unbeatable payment terms of 10% on exchange, 90% on completion (expected Q4 2008)
» Exclusively negotiated discount of 9.1%, equating to between €1,500–€1,600 / sqm – comparable valuation at €2,000 / sqm



Bellevue Residence represents an opportunity to buy into a superbly located luxury development in Romania’s second city of Brasov.

Unusual for Property Secrets, this is a high-end development aimed at Romania’s high earners, but it still represents an undervalued opportunity with the additional benefits of a unique location, with views of both Brasov and the surrounding mountains.

We have negotiated the best payment terms in Romania and a 9.1% discount on the developer’s list price, once it launches Bellevue Residence on the open market – both exclusive to Property Secrets’ investors.

These units are only available at these prices to Property Secrets’ clients and this opportunity closes at 8.00am on Thursday 5th April 2007.

We held yet another of our Investor Evenings last night in Oxford. It was well attended and, I think, well received based on the feedback from our events team. If there's an Evening in your region I can highly recommend attending. Not only do you learn a lot about various markets and investment strategies, but you get the opportunity to register for upcoming Property Secrets deals before we launch them on the website!

We'll have more Evenings across the country over the next few months, so when one comes to you, pop along - we'd love to see you there.

Especially for our Irish investors (or anyone in Ireland next month!), we're gearing up for a Property Secrets Irish Roadshow - more details of this will be made available from next week, so keep an eye on the website and your inboxes!

That's all for this week. Happy investing!

Cheers
