What should an investor pay attention to when investing in real estate?
When investing in real estate, you should primarily pay attention to location. Location determines, in the first place, the rental and added value return of your investment. But energy efficiency also plays an important role nowadays. The government imposes ever stricter standards for sustainable homes, and legislation will become even stricter in the coming years. Result: a property that now receives an EPC score of 200 – you should know that the energy efficiency of a home is indicated on a scale of 0 to 700 – will be sold with significantly less profit after 10 years than a new-build home or apartment that already has an EPB certificate of 30 and is almost energy-neutral. Therefore, get advice from the beginning and invest in new construction that meets the strictest sustainability standards. Tenants are also increasingly aware of their consumption. In a new-build property constructed according to the latest sustainability standards, they can save significantly on this consumption, which makes your property more attractive and easier to rent out. Furthermore, construction quality, in the long term, determines the added value of your real estate investment: with new construction, you prevent your property from being outdated when you want to resell it.
How to invest in real estate?
A correct investment in real estate starts by following the right steps. The steps that lead to a real estate investment:
- For a good real estate investment, you look into the future. Let Heylen Vastgoed make a prognosis for the next 10 years through a thorough market analysis: how attractive is a certain large city or a municipality in the countryside for potential tenants? How is the population divided: are they mainly young, or do they belong to an older generation? In this way, we predict to what extent the demand for rental apartments and/or rental homes in a certain place will increase and ensure you as an investor a good rental return.
- Did you know that Heylen Vastgoed also screens rental candidates for you? Because a solvent tenant ensures continuous rental returns.
- You can also contribute by choosing quality materials to furnish your new-build property: only then will you avoid frequent repair costs when tenants start using your investment.
New construction project opportunities
As an investor, are you looking for interesting new construction projects to realize yourself? You can also contact Heylen Vastgoed as a developer. With our real estate office, you are at the source: you receive all information about interesting project opportunities and a complete market analysis of supply and demand.
Our team of specialists also checks whether you optimally utilize the project land: is the property divided in the most advantageous way and adapted to supply and demand? Of course, we also take risk diversification into account and you can count on full legal support. Heylen Vastgoed also draws up a commercial plan for you, so that your project goes on sale even before construction begins. And finally, we also help you with the sale and guidance of prospective buyers for the project.
