RH Asset Management Ltd offers a range of Property investments to investors in different asset classes providing experienced investors with alternative sources of returns, allowing them to add diversification away from equity and bond markets.
Investment Philosophy
RH Asset Management Limited attract funds to take advantage of investment opportunities in the real estate market, capitalising on our strong knowledge of the local property market, our links with developers, and the urgent need to supply homes and commercial premises to meet UK demographic demand.
Brokerage
This is a high end broker and the niche is people who want the sale of their property to be off market. The firm therefore doesn’t compete with the likes of Savills, KF and Hamptons. There are no boards and no advertising and it suits clients who for personal or business reasons want a discreet sale. Currently have £800m property mandated for sales off market.
“Savills Research suggest that current projections for household growth suggests that we should be building 240,000 to 245,000 new homes a year in England, yet only 112,000 new homes were completed in the year to March 2014”
Robert Holmes & Co, our associated Estate Agency in South West London, accesses many property related proposals each year and regularly advise property vendors, homeowners, buyers and professional developers on projects & schemes for improving, planning, refurbishments and development of property.
In this relationship, opportunities arise to improve client returns from their properties through doing refurbishment work, planning or developing their property. Due to a lack of funding, opportunity, or will, these projects go underexploited.
Using funding from our asset management Bonds, we are in apposition to return superior returns, by establishing a joint venture arrangement coinvesting with our clients to maximize returns from their investment in their property using our expertise and local knowledge.
The scheme works as a joint venture, the client retaining control of their property. RH&Co performs a detailed chargeable assessment and makes a fully costed proposal of a project. Working with selected approved developers and builders, the fund would invest in the scheme, taking a charge on the property to cover its outlay and projected return. On project completion, the property is marketed through RH&Co, and both the client and RH&Co will achieve higher returns. We would expect a return on investment of up to 30%, plus fees and additional market penetration from the service offer.
Funds advanced would be secured 130% on the property, giving full security to investors, and minimize the risks to RH&Co on the development. Clients retain the upside on the development above this.
