Baron Cabot

Frequently Asked
Questions

Please request advice on the loan to value on a buy to let mortgage. While most would say 25% or 30% total deposit for a mortgage each situation can be unique.

At Baron & Cabot we pride ourselves in a full service for investors. As many of our investors are not UK based, and most of the remainder do not want to be hands on with the investment we offer a 360 process from sourcing, mortgage, currency exchange, legal support and managemnt of the property.

Often we will use 3rd party support to ensure the best possible price for our investors.

In our opinion we care more, we really focus on ‘confidence through clarity’.

We do the due diligence on developments which we will share with you. We will never carry a development which does not pass this criteria.

While there are some briliant companies in our market there are also some very lazy ones. If you have seen a development you like which we have not discussed with you, let us know, it may have failed our due diligence.

If you have any doubt’s what so ever speak to one of our staff. This is a normal concern and one we have a lot of resources for.

If you are an international client we will often work with a local bank of yours who you can speak to and ask about how many mortgages we have done together.

Alternatively, we have independent solicitors who can help, or even solicitors in your own country who can work with us to supply due diligence.

Finally, we have almost certainly worked with people in your city who we can also arrange a call with.

Property has historically provided solid returns through rental income and capital appreciation. It’s a tangible asset that can generate a steady income stream, making it an appealing choice for many investors.

Investing in buy-to-let properties with Baron & Cabot can make this venture even more rewarding. With our deep understanding of the UK property market and commitment to customer service, we can confidently help you navigate the buy-to-let landscape, turning a complex process into a straightforward and profitable journey.

Baron & Cabot have the benefit of being able to offer full market coverage to advise to our clients the best development for you without being restricted to particular developers.

In addition to full market cover as we tend to purchase large volumes in each development we are able to negotiate for you using the volume of the company (as an when this is possible).

Finally, developers are generally not client focussing and require companies like us to go to the market. As such most developers will be unable to offer discounts which we can negotiate, this is because they cannot be seen to be undercutting the market.

One of the great questions is protection on your investment. While no investment (in anything) is completely without risk, there are many ways we help protect you.

Speak to our staff about the due diligence conducted on each development and developer, all is available for you when needed.

In addition it’s likely that part or all of your money is protected with insurnace and other additional protection.

Each project is different so please feel free to request this information.

At Baron & Cabot we have in excess of 11,000 investment properties we have access to. We also have many projects which cannot be advertised due to being owned by our clients who are not actively selling but would be open to offers, or it may be properties we are due to release soon or may even be small developments we will sell to existing clients as there is no need to do a lot of marketing (as they will sell immediately).

By speaking to you our staff are trained in delivering not just the most suitable or best development, but also the most suitable unit in the development for you to consider.

Understanding your needs, price points and other factors significantly improves productivity for you our new client, and our staff, remove any calls or emails about properties which would not suit and make you more likely to find the ideal investment and buy through us which works for us both.

We are here to work with you as a business partner and ideally this starts with getting some understanding of your needs.

Yes we do!

No matter where you live in the world, no matter what currency you earn in, and even if you are retired we can help you!

Speak to our specialists who will get you an actual rate and get you in contact with the lender.

Rates are between 1.5% and 6% with up to 30 year terms. Rates depend on the country you live in, and your own financial circumstances.

Investing in buy-to-let properties in the UK is a straightforward process that can be broken down into a few key steps, as outlined below:

  • First, you must do your research and plan your budget.
  • Next, find a suitable property. Location is key here — you want to find a property in an area with high tenant demand to ensure a steady rental income.
  • Once you’ve found a property, check if the proposed offer aligns with your budget. If it does, complete the sale with the help of solicitors.
  • Lastly, decide whether to manage the property yourself or hire a professional. This includes finding tenants, collecting rent, and handling maintenance and repairs.

While this may seem like a lot, investing in buy-to-let properties can be more straightforward with a trusted partner like Baron & Cabot. We can guide you through these steps, providing expert advice and support to help maximize your investment returns.
