Invest in income-producing assets

Castle & Gatehouse specialise in the student accommodation market with an impressive track record. We offer a designed advance service that takes advantage of current market conditions. Our investors are capitalising on low property values and very strong tenant demand. The properties are delivered as show home advances and are ready to let.

We provide a world class advance service by delivering high quality assets that produce returns on day one. Our niche is the student market because the assets naturally yield higher returns than any other aspect of the property market. This has allowed us to build a very safe, solid and secure portfolio in which we use to back all of our guarantees.

The properties are bought at their current RICS market valuation and are ready to go. The yield starts on day one and the prices are currently at a low point in the cycle. We provide high quality property advances that will produce high net income once all costs are accounted for.

Our show home advance standard is a safe, low risk way to build a passive income. When you buy a Castle & Gatehouse house you buy an income with it.

Normal residential market

Although our speciality is within the student accommodation market, we also take full advantage of current market conditions within the normal residential market. From experience we know that when bought for the right price, right location, and then renovated to a very high condition to meet with premium standards, these properties are very profitable. By not restricting ourselves to one market, we can cleverly position ourselves in the top 5% of any market meaning our properties are desirable to live in as well as very saleable investment assets.

Headline Figures

Advance Developer

Students like to live close to their university and to entertainment so we source our properties in established student areas. Families like living in well presented areas with local schools, shops and restaurants so we source in well established communities where we know people enjoy living and can feel comfortable and safe.

Everyone likes to live in nice accommodation, even the students! That's why we position each asset to be in the top 5% of the market. It keeps the occupancy high, consistent, and reduces maintenance costs. The assets then deliver high yields on a sustainable basis. Each property is an off-the-shelf high yield asset.

Add to this the fact that we are currently close to, or even at, the bottom of a market cycle, then this is an income based advance with a good potential for long term capital growth. A property from Castle & Gatehouse is a safe haven for capital in difficult market conditions.

How It Works

We provide luxury high yielding houses that cater for the higher end of the student, professional and family property markets. The market has proven to be one of the most stable in recent times and is a non-cyclical advance, meaning that it will still perform very well during a recession or otherwise. The natural 8% plus yields make each property an income producing asset with an excellent outlook for growth over the medium to long term.

Premium Market Positioning.

Each Castle & Gatehouse property sits with pride at the top of its market sector. The standard of the refurbishment ensures that the property is in the top 5% of the market. Great properties have high occupancy rates.

Stable Student Market.

Demand in the student sector has been constant for 120 years and more. Every year a new wave of tenants flood the local area and the best properties enjoy occupancy all year round. The student market is known for its stability, particularly in a recession when applications typically increase.

Quality Tenants.

Our premier accommodation attracts a premium rent which in turn attracts the more discerning tenants. Mature student applications are at record levels and the student market now attracts far more tenants wanting to live in nice houses. Each tenant undergoes reference checks to ensure reputable occupants in each property. Our single let properties are renovated to the highest of standards which attracts a better quality tenant.

Capital Growth.

The best advances come with a high income and excellent prospects for capital growth. Our product delivers exactly that; market leading yields with prices at a low point in the cycle - primed for growth over the medium to long term.

Every house comes with a current RICS valuation that confirms the property's market value. With prices having hit a low point over 2009 yields are now the highest they have been for years with prices well positioned for good long term growth.

Many property investors fell afoul of investing purely for capital growth alone. The benefit of Castle & Gatehouse is that you experience the best of both worlds; on-going income and long term growth.

The right product at the right time.

Castle & Gatehouse offer a world class customer service that has been designed to compete across all industry sectors. A large part of that is delivering an advance that performs year on year.
