Buy To Sell
Short-term investment solution
You can't always rely on property prices to go up, especially in the short term, so if you want to make money from buying and selling houses, refurbishment is the best option.
​
A property in need of substantial updating will typically sell for 30-40% less than its potential value, which means there is scope to improve the property and realise a substantial profit when you sell it on. In Newcastle and the North East, this also means the property will be more affordable, and so easier to purchase and finance.
​
The trick is to find the right property with potential to sell and know what improvements to make, and how much to spend, in order to maximise your profit. That's where Clarice Carr and Company can help.
