Orchard Property Holdings Limited (Orchard Properties) is a company specializing in the marketing and sale of residential property investments in the UK, primarily in London. Our focus is on wealth creation through ongoing relationships with our clients.

The majority of our clients wish to acquire property in the UK in order to diversity the concentration of their wealth from both an asset class and currency perspective. While the UK has proven itself over time as a successful location for residential property investments, these investments need to be carefully selected, structured and managed.

Properties are acquired by a consortium of investors in a regulated structure. This enables smaller investors to participate in deals usually only available to large investors. Investors can participate from £25,000 upwards.

Questions that need to be answered include:

• What type of residential properties should I be looking at?
• What areas should I be looking at?
• Is there demand from tenants?
• What is the legal process?
• How should the property be owned?
• How do I obtain finance?
Through a network developed over the past ten years, Orchard Properties is able to secure quality investment opportunities. These opportunities are typically off the market deals negotiated directly with a developer.

Orchard Properties acquires properties based on strict criteria which typically include:

• Sought after locations within the greater London area.
• Acquired at favorable valuations.
• Tax efficient ownership through offshore structuring.
• Conservative finance obtained from a Bank.
• Furnishing and tenanting in place.
• Rental income in place which supports the cash flow
  requirements of the deal.

Orchard Properties manages all the commercial aspects of the investment. This includes securing the property and finances, structuring the deal, active management of the investment, reporting back to clients and recommending the sell decision.

Typical Investment Example

A typical investment is summarized as follows:

• A small block of apartments (5 to 10 units) is acquired in a registered company by a consortium of investors (£25,000 and upwards). These units are usually 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartments which are in high demand with low ongoing maintenance costs.

• These apartments are furnished and tenanted providing positive cash flow from inception, and conservative mortgage finance is arranged through a bank.

• We manage the property for a period of 3 to 5 years after which the whole property or individual units are then sold on the open market.
Existing investors have first option to acquire individual units at the market price should they wish to continue ownership.

Alternatively, the units are sold and the profits are paid to the shareholders according to their percentage shareholding.

Through this proven approach, an investor is able to participate in a quality investment without having to deal directly with any acquisition, finance, legal, tenanting, selling and management related issues.
