Investors hungry for more double- digit returns pounced on the latest opportunity from CapitalStackers – a block of 23 flats near Leeds City Centre.
CapitalStackers investors typically enjoy returns of between 10% and 15%, usually over periods of 12-24 months. The conservative Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios, high level of due diligence and zero losses have attracted a wide range of investors, some putting in as little as £5000, many considerably more.
The Leeds development – called Abode – is a four-storey block of 15 two-bedroom flats and eight one-bedroom flats, bringing a return of 13.76% on an LTV of 68.4%. Prices range from £80K to £130K and interest has been sparkling, with six of the flats already under offer well before completion. In addition to first-time-buying single professionals and urban downsizers, the flats are also proving enticing to Buy to Let landlords with good demand and individual flat rentals ranging from £550 to £700 per month.
This is the second deal launched for the experienced developers, Demech Properties, by CapitalStackers. They’re also on site with 22 houses at Thorne due for completion in Autumn 2019 with 17 houses either exchanged, in legals or reserved.
Abode was already under construction when they approached the investment platform, looking for additional funding to meet additional costs and improve cash flow to enable more cost-effective employment of bricklayers.
Marc Black, a director of Demech said, “This kind of deal can be tough for developers to find funding for, as few investment establishments will deal with part-built schemes. However, since we already have a strong relationship with the team at CapitalStackers, they used their considerable property experience to assess the risks and we were happy to meet their ancillary demands.”
CapitalStackers considered the construction risk to be greatly reduced since the building is already up to the 3rd floor and all externals are complete.
The developer expects the project to be fully sold out by March 2020.
