Property investment in the UK
Would you like your money to work harder for you? The buy to let property market has been a great performer over the past few years and many of our clients could not consider a safer place for their money. However it is also an area fraught with pitfalls for the unwary or inexperienced. That's why Grant Management provides a one-stop shop for your property investments which includes sourcing, buying, refurbishing, furnishing, letting and managing properties in the UK's major population centres.
You can read about how we do that here on the main website. This area of the blog however will pull together experiences of people in all walks of life who have invested in property with Grant Management, bring you news of new investment opportunities throughout the UK and introduce you to key members of our investment team.

One of Grant Management’s private overseas investors is Malcolm McPherson, who is based in Baku, Azerbaijan as the financial controller of BP’s flagship Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, which transports crude petroleum from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. He bought his first investment property through Grant Management in 2000 - an Edinburgh flat which has grown in value by 136% from £72,000 to £170,000 - and now has a £2m portfolio of nine properties with the company.
“For me, from here, it would be virtually impossible to source properties in the UK that I know will be in the right area and the right condition with letting potential, so the formula works for me,” McPherson said. “Grant Management also deal with the modernisation, upgrading, finding tenants and ongoing management, so it’s a one-stop shop and it tends to work.”

" I don’t want to spend the time looking for property to invest in and I want to be able to diversify into other cities in the UK. So in that respect Grant Management is ideal.
In terms of my current properties, the two properties I’ve bought through Grant Management so far have pretty much got the target rent advertised and have not involved a huge amount of effort on my part.
