We follow a structured, step-by-step approach that ensures every property we invest in is carefully selected, thoroughly evaluated, and optimised for maximum profitability. Our process is designed to eliminate as much risk as possible, ensuring a successful outcome at every stage.

​

To give you a clear understanding of the full life cycle of a property investment, we've outlined our detailed approach below, offering insight into how we operate from start to finish:

​

1. Sourcing Opportunities: We start by identifying investment properties through online portals and direct relationships with vendors, using our network to find the best deals.

2. Initial Assessment: With our in-house construction company, we swiftly assess the refurbishment potential, offering rough estimates based on extensive experience.

3. Consulting Experts on GDV: We consult a chartered surveyor to determine the property's Gross Development Value (GDV), giving us an accurate understanding of its future value and potential.

4. Rental Market Analysis: We engage with our corporate clients to assess whether the property meets their requirements and if it offers stronger rental income potential compared to individual tenants, based on the current market conditions.

5. Title Deed and Planning Review: We utilise our software to check the title deeds for any restrictions that could hinder our plans. We also review any potential planning issues to ensure there are no barriers to the proposed project.

6. Negotiation: Once the deal stacks up, we negotiate directly with the vendor to secure a price that aligns with our investment goals.

7. Comprehensive Project Review: After an offer is accepted, our project manager performs an in-depth on-site assessment and prepares a detailed quote for the refurbishment work required.

8. Engaging with Brokers: If bridging finance is being used, we engage with our panel of brokers to secure the best rates and value for the purchase. We also assist investors throughout this process, ensuring the financial side is as efficient and cost-effective as possible.

9. Refurbishment and Project Management: Once the detailed quote is finalised, our experienced construction team begins the refurbishment work. We manage the entire process from start to finish, ensuring the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.

10. Ongoing Monitoring, Communication, and Final Inspection: Throughout the refurbishment, our project manager provides regular updates, keeping investors informed at every stage. We closely monitor the progress to ensure the project stays aligned with our goals. Once the work is complete, we carry out a final inspection to ensure the highest quality before moving forward.

11. Re-finance Process: Upon completion, we take over the re-finance process, working with our panel of brokers and the same chartered surveyor to value the property. This ensures the property is accurately appraised, and we help unlock the maximum value from the investment.

12. Rental Strategy and Letting: With the property ready, we collaborate with our corporate clients or the private rental market to secure the best tenants. Our property management team steps in to handle the letting process, ensuring the property generates rental income as soon as possible.

13. Ongoing Management: Once tenants are in place, Olaya Property Management takes over, ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the property. From rent collection to maintenance, we provide a full management service that maximises returns and keeps your investment in top condition.

​

This comprehensive, hands-on approach ensures that every stage of the investment process is carefully managed, from initial sourcing to ongoing property management. At Olaya Residential, we take full accountability by overseeing the entire process from start to finish. There’s no passing responsibility or relying on others—we manage every detail from A to Z, ensuring nothing is overlooked. We commit to a meticulous process that ensures long-term success.
