Record response to latest seminar

The third Fuse Invest Property Seminar was oversubscribed and voted by those delegates attending as the best they had ever been to.

Every delegate at the seminar in May at the Marriot Hotel near Heathrow is now using Fuse to find them the right properties to build their portfolio.

Because each seminar is restricted to just 30 delegates several applicants have had to wait until the final seminar in the series which takes place on June 28th.

At the seminar delegates listened as the seven speakers outlined the advantages and pitfalls of investing in buy-to-let, how to set up to take advantage of the current tax laws and why different mortgage lenders tend to prefer certain types of properties and certain types of lenders. Sanjay Patel explained the sources of research Fuse use to pinpoint the best towns to buy in, while other speakers covered the ways of protecting investments against unforeseen events.

Here are some of the feedback comments we received.

It is perfect as it is.

What was the most attractive benefit of the seminar?

2. Guaranteed rental returns
3. 2.5% purchase fee waived.

What will you do now?

'I want to build up a property portfolio same as Sanjay very quickly!'

What do you think of the Fuse idea?
'I should think that my net worth will increase significantly.'
'All partners in the Fuse concept seem committed to giving good service and working together.'
'An excellent idea.'
'The one-stop shop concept is very beneficial.'
'It will save me time and the hassle of doing it myself.'

Why detailed analysis of the right sources of research pays dividends

You cannot buy an average house. There's no such thing. If prices are rising 'on average' by x% that means some are rising more and some less. The trick is to know what type of properties are likely to rise more than others and in which areas.

The Fuse research is very comprehensive and analyses figures from a host of different sources. Trends are plotted and forecasts made. The Fuse analysis can break down particular regions into towns and then examines factors in those towns, which could affect prices next year - new industry, university expansion, new transport links or road-building schemes etc.

The results of this research are available to Fuse investors and are the basis for deciding on the areas in which they should invest.

"Knowing that house prices rose 22% last year is interesting - but knowing in which areas they will rise most next year is valuable," says Sanjay Patel. "Too many buy-to-let investors just assume they should buy property close to where they live, but it is highly unlikely that they will get the best returns that way."


TIME IS MONEY

If location is important in house purchase, then being able to move fast to clinch a deal is imperative. It may be more profitable to invest in property than in shares but it takes more effort and time. Fortunately, Fuse can take the hassle and time-consuming tasks away. Working with the Fuse Associates - tax consultants, insurers, solicitors, Fuse not only finds the right property fast but helps you raise the finance, complete the conveyancing and ensure your risks are covered.
 

Without Fuse you would have to spend weeks researching and analysing the markets, working out the financial model to put to the mortgage company (even assuming you knew which of more than 600 buy-to-let mortgage packages was best for you), chasing up solicitors, planners and vendors. With Fuse, we do it all for you - quickly, professionally, personally.


PROPERTY STILL RISING - says Halifax

Despite the scare headlines suggesting that house prices have peaked and may be falling, the truth is that house prices over the country are still rising. Maybe not as fast as they were but their compound growth still makes buying property a very attractive investment. And remember, the capital gain on your buy-to-let property is just one part of the story. With the Fuse model your rental income more than pays for your mortgage payments and other outgoings, giving you a return over and above the rise in the property value.

According to Halifax, house prices rose 1.5% in May as consumer confidence rose following the end of the war in Iraq. The house price rise was the strongest since February and took the average cost of a home to £129,568. Halifax said the housing market remained strong, with prices in the first five months of the year increasing by an average monthly rate of 1.3%.

Rival mortgage lender, Nationwide, recorded a 1.3% monthly rise in house prices in May. A 1.3% monthly rise translates to over 23% annual rate. That, of course would be the 'average' house price rise. Fuse looks to find the areas where houses are rising by more than the average so that the returns are even better.

HOW TO BUILD A PROPERTY PORTFOLIO WHEN YOU HAVEN'T ANY SPARE CASH

One of the most common questions at Fuse seminars is how can you finance the purchase of property when, perhaps, you don't have the cash sitting in a bank account. One way is to remortgage your own main residence and do it in a way that allows you to 'draw down' money when you need it to purchase rental properties.

At the May seminar, Russell Martin of Mortgage City gave an example of a portfolio of properties he helped a client buy using this method.

Mr A had a house worth £300,000. He had a mortgage of £100,000 on this which was costing £471 per month on an interest only mortgage. Mortgage City arranged a replacement mortgage for £200,000 over 20 years which cost just £575 per month or £104 extra per month.
Using this 'draw-down' facility of £100,000 Mr A bought three properties - one worth £100,000, one £155,000 and one at £250,000. The diagram below shows the mortgage cost and the rental income received on each. This showed a surplus of £1,046 per month. Even after paying the extra £104 per month on his original main residence mortgage Mr A was earning £942 a month on his investments - for which he had used none of his own money!
 


ACT FAST TO CLAIM YOUR PLACE ON THE JUNE SEMINAR

The final Fuse seminar in the series will take place at the Marriot hotel Slough/Langley on Saturday June 28th. The cost of the seminar is £2199 plus VAT (£2583.83). However, this fee entitles you to use Fuse to find you your first property - using all their research and experience and enables you to take advantage of the discounted prices on certain property that Fuse sources.

The last seminar was over-subscribed and there are only a few places still left on the June one. You could save a fortune and make one too.

Previous Investors

"I was introduced to Sanjay through my son who rented a property from him. I was looking for a good investment opportunity and my son suggested asking Sanjay's advice. I live in Ireland and had no idea of where in England I should be investing, I trusted Sanjay's instincts and he told me he would find the right property at the right price for me. I dealt with Fuse over the telephone and they e-mailed suitable properties to me. Three years on and I have never looked back, the property is managed by Fuse and looks after itself. Living in Ireland means I do not have the time to keep traveling back to England to keep an eye on the property, so Fuse takes care of everything for me, they even carry out a maintenance check every two weeks on the property. I cannot express how easy Fuse has made it for me to invest in property, so much so that my son has also invested through Fuse and his property is due for completion in the next two weeks."
