Investments in Real Estate Series Roundup
Event Roundup!
After great feedback from our official Launch event in April and the follow on in July, we returned for our quarterly event. We decided to return to Blackfriars, London with our leading series on 'Investments in Real Estate'
On Thursday the 19th October once again we opened the doors at Crowne Plaza hotel. Aiming to give investors and entrepreneurs the opportunity to find out how they can purchase distressed real estate, and embark upon a successful refurbishment project. We shared insight to the results current distressed projects are achieving for clients.

After the launch event in April and our second event in July, we were aiming to return in a bigger and better way, We knew there would be more inve
stors keen to learn more and discuss how we can help them create personal financial growth. We received multiple enquiries and emails regarding confirmation of attending the event and clarification if it was still taking place. The team here were delighted to discuss at such an early stage and still see these investors again.
In our last blog we commented that we are regularly asked "since Brexit and other government changes is the housing market still buoyant." This question came up again tonight and our response was the same. We like to say yes it is and first time buyers are still out their buying. Also we like to use feedback from our financial partners to establish if their is appetite among our audience who are buying these properties once we renovate them. The financial firms we work closely with advise they still see a large amount of buyers requesting mortgage term illustrations.
All attendees advised the event was very good and gave them further insight to think about various investment options. We also received multiple request for follow up meetings instantly as investors are keen to find a partner they can work closely with and that aim to give them the best returns.
