Investment Property Not Financed Well

Tue, 06 Feb 2007
Mortgages for investment property are not often prioritised. The biggest expense in investment property are mortgages, yet investors often fail to prioritise this.

Heritable Bank , specialist property investment lender, illustrates that 59% of the costs of an investment property go on mortgage repayments. Yet 75% do not consider finding the most suitable mortgage a priority.

Property investors love their portfolios of bricks and mortar and they are just as interested in making money . Hence, they are surprised to see mismatches between what they have spent on their mortgages and the financial arrangements that are in place. Other than mortgage costs , they also have huge bills.

Maintenance carried out on investment property accounts for 13% of all outgoings, management and letting agency fees account for 10% of expenditure, with accountancy fees account for 8% of outgoing finances .

General bills account for the last 10% of ongoing costs. All these costs increase by more than 50% to account for more of a property investor's money than the mortgage.

A lot of property investors do not take financing their portfolio sufficiently seriously enough. A serious property investor ought to seek professional financial advice to maximise their financing arrangements .
