Monthly Rent: £850
Monthly Cashflow: £221
Return on Investment: 7%

The Process:

Spotting the Right Opportunity:
East Belfast continues to be one of the most in-demand rental areas in the city. This property had the right fundamentals: a solid structure, strong rental potential, and scope to add value. We moved quickly to secure it.

Adding Value the Right Way:
The property needed a full internal update. We focused on improvements that would deliver maximum return:

Modernised kitchen and bathroom

Fresh paint and updated flooring throughout

Minor layout changes to improve flow and tenant appeal

Let in No Time:
After renovation, it was listed and let at £850 per month with no fuss. The high spec finish and location attracted quality tenants straight away.

The Results:
The property now generates £221 a month in cashflow with a 7% ROI. But perhaps more importantly, the renovation increased the property’s value enough to cover the sourcing fee—making this a high-performing investment from day one.

Why This One Worked:
This deal is the perfect example of what happens when you invest in the right area with the right strategy. Steady cashflow, increased equity, and a strong long-term asset—all delivered with a clear plan and expert execution.
