10 Golden Tips

on How to Invest in Property 

With an ever-expanding mass of information readily available on how to invest in property, I expect you are wondering how to separate the good from the bad, the right from the wrong and the better from the worse. After all, conflicting and confusing messages are an everyday dilemma. We empathise with your confusion, and rather than add to the problem, here is the Asset Academy list of 10 tips which offer sound advice to save you time, money and stress in the long run. 

How to invest in property  

As an alternative to the ‘this-is-what-to-do’ guides, this article seeks to express a series of principles. These principles form a sensible process for moving forwards. Imagine the principles as a coach. A good coach will not tell you what to do, but instead will guide you towards your own conclusions.  

  1. Set your goals  
    Before bounding into the nearest estate agent, it is important to step back and consider two basic questions. The first question is: why are you doing this? The second question is: what are your goals in property investing? These two questions are important because they will give you a target to work towards and an understanding of your reasons for doing so. 

  2. Invest in knowledge 
    There is no denying that property investing is a business involving considerable sums of money. Getting things wrong could result in crippling debt and a host of unspeakable situations that may accompany it. Gaining sound knowledge from people who have success and experience is an invaluable investment that will reap great rewards in the future.

  3. Confidence in numbers 
    Having the confidence to accurately calculate the numbers is undeniably a vital element of property investing. Knowing your expected costs, fees, risks and income are considerations that will swing the pendulum between success and failure. If numbers strike fear into your heart, be reassured that we are here to hold your hand and give you the confidence you need. 

  4. Do your property area research 
    What sets a professional landlord apart from an accidental landlord? Accidental landlords, broadly speaking, rent out their property not through choice but as a consequence of inheritance, divorce or separation. A professional landlord will take a calculated approach to finding the right area first. Having gained knowledge, they understand how and where to find the properties they need.

  5. You will profit only from good advice 
    Once close friends, relatives and total strangers learn of your property investing intentions, there will be no shortage of advice on how and where to buy property. While I am sure their intentions will have your best interests at heart, the advice may not be so favourable to your profits. Therefore, surrounding yourself with a community of experienced investors is key. Above all and regardless of the source of any advice, always do your own research, calculations and know your area like no-one else. 

  6. Get out there 
    To find the best opportunities in your chosen investment area will require a great deal of local knowledge. Understanding the demographics, developments and amenities in your area will be invaluable information with which to make informed decisions. It will involve talking to people, making connections and knocking on doors to know the area like a local and build a team around you. 

  7. You will need a team 
    Going it alone is the error of fools and you will need a team of specialists to get you to your goals. You will need financial, legal, building contractor and letting agent advice and most importantly an experienced coach. A good coach is a treasure trove of knowledge. They will prove priceless when helping you to find the best specialists to build your team and start finding the deals.  

  8. Start small
    It’s easy to be seduced by the mirage of big deals and their associated profits. However, it is sound advice to construct a solid foundation from which to grow first. Beginning with the smaller cashflow deals, while they may not be gilded and sparkly, will give you the experience that will be worth its weight in gold in the future. Along with the knowledge and confidence gained, you will also have a strong income stream to support you if other ventures do not go to plan. 

  9. Follow your head not your heart 
    Knowledge, methodology and numbers will be your three wise friends as you learn how to invest in property. Many people buy properties by following a series of emotional responses. Property investing is simply a matter of calculating the numbers and negotiating the deals off the back of the results. While your heart may be delighted with wooden worktops and cast-iron radiators, your bank balance may be less enchanted in 12 month’s time.

  10. Adopt a mindset geared for success 
    Behind all of this is a mindset that is motivated to succeed. A mindset that is pragmatic and systematic in its approach yet creative and open to growth. Gearing your mindset to achieve your goals will be the biggest step you can take forwards and is something that can be improved with the support of the right team and expert coaching. The great news is that it is within your power to change. 

Invest in what is important 

Knowing how to invest in property successfully is far more than simply visiting estate agents and practicing your signature. It is far more than listening to unqualified advice. It is certainly far more than buying a property at full market value after being assured the price will sky-rocket in the next few years. Before investing in any bricks-and-mortar, it is vital that you invest in yourself and the complex conglomerate of neurons within your head. To learn more, why not register for a FREE one hour Discovery Training Webinar by clicking here?

    • Because the Excluded Services are carried out between you and the consultant, we will not be responsible for any costs or losses you or any person connected with you, incur as a result of those Excluded Services.

You have the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you ask us to provide further products and services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never sell or share it with other organisations outside the Asset Academy group for marketing purposes.

Who we share your personal data with

We routinely share personal data with:

  • companies within the Asset Academy group
  • third parties we use to help deliver our products and services to you, eg seminar speakers, coaches, mentors, help desk, customer reviews and delivery companies;
  • other third parties we use to help us run our business, eg marketing agencies or website hosts;

  • credit reference agencies;

  • our banks;

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal data if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal data. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they can only use your personal data to provide services to us and to you.

We may also need to:

  • share personal data with external auditors, eg in relation to ISO or Investors in People accreditation and the audit of our accounts;
  • disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
  • share some personal data with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a restructuring—usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible, however, the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations.

If you would like more information about who we share our data with and why, please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

We will not share your personal data with any other third party.

Where your personal data is held

Personal data may be held at our offices and those of our group companies, third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: ‘Who we share your personal data with’).

Some of these third parties may be based outside the UK. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal data when this happens, see below: ‘Transferring your personal data out of the UK and EEA’.

How long your personal data will be kept

We will keep your personal data while you have an account with us or we are providing products and services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal data for as long as is necessary:

  • to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
  • to show that we treated you fairly;
  • to keep records required by law.

We will not keep your personal data for longer than necessary. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal data.

When it is no longer necessary to keep your personal data, we will delete or anonymise it.

Transferring your personal data out of the UK and EEA

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal data outside the UK/EEA, eg:

  • with our offices or other companies within our group located outside the UK/EEA;
  • with your and our service providers located outside the UK/EEA;
  • if you are based outside the UK/EEA;
  • where there is a European and/or international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

Under data protection law, we can only transfer your personal data to a country or international organisation outside the UK/EEA where:

  • the UK government or, where the EU GDPR applies, the European Commission has decided the particular country or international organisation ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy decision’);
  • there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects; or
  • a specific exception applies under data protection law

These are explained below.

Adequacy decision

We may transfer your personal data to certain countries, on the basis of an adequacy decision. These include:

  • all European Union countries, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (collectively known as the ‘EEA’);
  • Gibraltar; and
  • Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland and Uruguay.

The list of countries that benefit from adequacy decisions will change from time to time. We will always seek to rely on an adequacy decision, where one exists.

Other countries or international organisations we are likely to transfer personal data to do not have the benefit of an adequacy decision. This does not necessarily mean they provide poor protection for personal data, but we must look at alternative grounds for transferring the personal data, such as ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place or relying on an exception, as explained below.

Transfers with appropriate safeguards

Where there is no adequacy decision, we may transfer your personal data to another country or international organisation if we are satisfied the transfer complies with data protection law, appropriate safeguards are in place, and enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.

The safeguards will usually include using legally-approved standard data protection contract clauses.

To obtain a copy of the standard data protection contract clauses and further information about relevant safeguards please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

Transfers under an exception

In the absence of an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, we may transfer personal data to a third country or international organisation where an exception applies under relevant data protection law, eg:

  • you have explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the possible risks;

Terms & Conditions

St Reylinsburg Limited

  • THESE TERMS
    • What these terms cover. These terms and conditions (terms) are the terms under which we supply, in any media, our materials, notes, systems, services and teachings exclusively for the course for which you have registered (Materials) to you.
    • Why you should read them. Please read these terms carefully before you sign up. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide you access to the Materials, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms, please contact us.
  • INFORMATION ABOUT US
    • Who are we. We are St Reylinsburg Limited (St Reylinsburg, we or us) a company registered in England and Wales with registration number 12615538. Our registered address is 1st Floor, Units 3 & 4 Cranmere Court Lustleigh Close, Matford Business Park, Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom, EX2 8PW.
  • HOW TO CONTACT US
    • Given the nature of our business, you will receive a quicker response to queries from us by contacting us via email. If you do wish to email us, please do so by emailing us at hello@angelmastery.com.
  • HOW WE MAY CONTACT YOU
    • If we have to contact you we will do so by writing to you at the email address you provided to us when you registered.
  • OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
    • How we will accept you onto the course. We will email you to confirm that you have been accepted on the course for which you have registered, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us and you will be considered to have placed an order for the Materials.
    • If we cannot accept you. If we are unable to accept you onto the course that you have requested or the course for which you have registered, we will inform you in writing and will not charge you.
    • Your email address. Your email address will form part of your login details, and we will use your email address to identify you whenever you contact us.
  • INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
    • Confidentiality. Given the nature of the Materials and ancillary products and services being provided you agree not to make available or divulge to any party, without our prior written approval, any of the Materials or related products and services, as this could have an adverse impact on our business. By placing an order with us, you acknowledge that, if you allow any of these Materials to be made available to any other person or any other party without our prior written approval, we may take legal action against you.
    • Intellectual property rights in the Materials. All intellectual property rights (including, but not limited to, copyright) in any Materials or related products and services made available to you belong to us.
    • A licence to use the Materials. When we accept your order, we are granting you a non-transferrable, non-sub-licensable, non-exclusive license to use the Materials. That licence will terminate upon termination of this agreement.
    • How you may use the Materials. You agree and confirm that you will use the Materials provided by us only for your own purposes and will not, without our prior written approval, copy, make available, retransmit, reproduce, sell, license, distribute, publish, broadcast or otherwise circulate the Materials (or any part of them) other than in connection with the use allowed under these terms.
    • Usernames and passwords. Usernames and passwords are for personal use only and should not be passed to or made known to anyone else.
    • Material breach of the contract. Breach of this clause 5 will be deemed by us to be a “material breach” allowing us to immediately suspend or withdraw your access to the Materials and terminate the contract between you and us in accordance with clause 9. This clause 5 survives termination of the contract.
  • RELIANCE ON THE MATERIALS
    • Accuracy of the website and information provided. While we will endeavour to ensure that the information on the website and in the Materials is correct, we do not warrant the accuracy and completeness of that information or the Materials. Any reliance you place on the Materials is at your own risk. You need to make your own enquiries to determine if the information in the Materials is appropriate for your intended use.
    • Changes to the Materials. We may make changes to the Materials or to the prices at any time, although we will provide notice of substantive changes to the St Reylinsburg Privacy Policy. We will use our reasonable endeavours to inform you if we update the Materials.
    • The Materials will match their description. The Materials are provided ‘as is,’ without any conditions, warranties, or other terms of any kind, provided that the Materials will always match the description that we provided to you before you signed up.
  • PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE MATERIALS
    • Access to the Materials. Unless prevented by an event outside of our control, we will make the Materials accessible and available for download by you as soon as we accept your order, until either you end the contract as described in clauses 9 and 10 or until we end the contract by written notice to you as described in clause 11.
    • We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the Materials is delayed by any act, event, omission or accident beyond or outside our control, including (without limitation), strike, other industrial disputes, act of God, fire, flood, disease, epidemic, pandemic or storm, war, riot, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), armed conflict or terrorist attack, nuclear, chemical or biological contamination, civil commotion or failure of infrastructure, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided that we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by that event.
    • What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you to provide you with access to the Materials (such as your email address). If you fail to provide that information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be liable for supplying the Materials late if you have not provided us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
    • Reasons we may suspend the supply of the Materials to you. We may suspend your access to the Materials to:
      • ensure that they comply with the latest version of an operating system; or
      • add new features to the Materials; or
      • deal with maintenance issues or technical problems or to make minor technical changes; or
      • update the Materials to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
    • You will receive access only to the Materials that you pay for. If you pay in full when you register for a course, you will receive access to 100% of the Materials for that course. If you choose to pay for the course in instalments, we reserve the right to decide to which Materials for that course you will receive access. For example, when you pay the first instalment you will receive access to the video lessons which form part of the Materials for that course. Upon payment of the second instalment, you will receive access to the additional content that forms part of the Materials for that course, such as template legal documents.
  • PAYMENT
    • Where to find the price for the Materials. The price of the Materials will be the price indicated when you sign up. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Materials advised to you is correct. However, please see clause 8.4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Materials.
    • When you must pay. You must pay when you sign up in order to receive access to the Materials.
    • What will happen if you do not pay. If you do not pay any outstanding sum, you will not receive access to the remaining Materials for the course for which you have registered.
    • What to do if you think the price is wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, the prices might be incorrectly displayed. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, if there is any discrepancy, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
  • YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
    • You can always end your contract with us. Your rights on ending the contract with us will depend on when you decide to end the contract:
      • if you have simply changed your mind, see clause 9.2. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions;
      • in all other cases provided we are not at fault, see clause 9.4.
    • How long do I have to change my mind? You have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order, or, if earlier, until you start downloading or streaming the Materials.
    • When you don't have the right to change your mind. By downloading or streaming or using any of the Materials (or any part of them), you agree that you no longer have the right to request a refund.
    • Ending the contract where we are not at fault and the right to change your mind has expired. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind, you may still be able to end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for digital content, in this case the Materials, is completed when you download or stream or use the content you have paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed, where we are not at fault and the 14 day cooling-off period has expired, simply contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
    • Our money back guarantee. If, by the date 6 months after you have completed the course, you would like your money back, we will refund you in accordance with clause 10.2. Our only conditions to granting you that refund are that you have completed the course in full, which means that:
      • you have completed all of your assignments in the course, earning a mark of at least 50% in each assignment;
      • you have undertaken all of the home work where required; and
      • you have watched all of the video content;
      • you can demonstrate you have completed all of the required action steps as set out in the Materials.
  • HOW YOU SHOULD END THE CONTRACT
    • Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by emailing us at [EMAIL ADDRESS]. Please provide your name, and email address.
    • How and when we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products by the method you used for payment. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible, and in any event your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.
  • OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
    • We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract at any time by writing to you if:
      • you breach any of these terms;
      • you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within seven days of us reminding you that payment is due;
      • you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Materials or any ancillary products or services; or
      • you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to supply the Materials or any ancillary products or services.
    • You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 11.1 above, we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Materials or products or services we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
    • We may withdraw access to the Materials. We may let you know that we are going to stop providing certain digital content. We will let you know as soon as reasonably possible and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Materials which will not be provided.
  • OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
    • We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen.
    • We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. However you acknowledge that we do not provide financial, legal or accounting advice. We are not authorised by the FCA or other body to do so and as such this does not form part of the contract. You acknowledge that any opinions or comments are followed at your own risk. Accordingly, you agree to accept full responsibility for the outcome of any decision made after downloading or streaming any of the Materials and/or taking part in the course for which you registered. St Reylinsburg and its affiliates, associates and any of its representatives do not accept responsibility or liability for any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, which may be incurred or suffered by you as a result of those decisions.
    • We are not responsible to you for loss as result of your negligence. We are not liable for losses arising from your negligence.
    • When we are liable for damage to your property. If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
    • We are not liable for business losses. If you use the Materials for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
    • Our liability to you is limited. Our liability to you (except where our liability cannot be limited or excluded) will be limited to the full amount paid by you for the Materials.
  • GENERAL
    • There are no other agreements between us. These terms constitute the entire agreement and understanding between us.
    • We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
    • You need our approval to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or the Materials (or any part of them) or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. We may not agree if you have already downloaded or streamed the Materials.
    • Nobody else, except for our affiliates, has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person will have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except for our affiliates, who will be entitled to rely on clause 12.
    • If a court finds part of these terms invalid or illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clauses of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are invalid or unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
    • Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Materials, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
    • "Writing" includes emails. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes email.
    • Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Materials and any ancillary products and services in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
