Why Lewisham is a good property investment

The Lewisham Gateway Project has generated £250 million of investment in the area with many aspects making it a great place to invest for 2012

Firstly it has been designated one of the Lord Mayor of London's designated places to visit.

With 100,000 sq meters of new development split into 28,000m2 residential and 72,000m2 commercial and retail space- the regeneration programme has triggered a lot of interest from business with projects due to get planning approval in 2013.

The town centre is being reorganised with new layout proposed for the bus station, train station and terminal for the Docklands Light Railway underground links. 

There is also a new riverside walk and park space being created.

All in all the area is going to be improved by a considerable amount which is why we think the Cube development (pictures below) is going to be sought after by investors and locals alike and therefore bring high rental yields and great capital growth expected.

Midas Hong Trip #3 in 2011

What an incredible week this has been. With a packed itinery we set off on Tuesday last week with Air Newzealand and met up with some of our contacts in Hong Kong for a catch up and met one of our clients who had bought a property in Lett Rd Stratford overlooking the Olympic 2012 site in London.
We went up to the top of the Ritz Carlton Hotel for a drink with one of our clients - the ICC Centre is the name of the building and here is a view from the main entrance.

The building is 118 floors high and here is a video of the view from the top! Quite breathtaking. We managed to catch the sunset and get a daytime and nighttime view.





Rebecca became our expert with local knowledge and he invaluable insights about how to do business in Hong Kong and China has proved to be priceless.

During the week we joined the Chamber of Commerce and sought a location for a permanent office.

We took the train out to the outskirts of Hong Kong and almost over the border into mainland China to meet some clients who are also interested in buying in England.

We ran a property school in central district on the Friday and were well received.

We were also taken aback by the staggering wealth that is accumulating in the far east and an introduction to an ex-institutional investor gave us an insight into this - the average middle class person in China has a net worth of £10million!

We sampled lots of local cuisine and met up with Rebecca's family which was really nice and got introductions to some great local property consultants who are also interested in accessing UK property.

Our final day was a great one on monday - meeting Rebecca's family contacts who are looking to source large properties in London. Which expands our portfolio of services now to the high net worth clients.

All in all a great week in Hong Kong and looking forward to getting our base established.

Top London PR Company to work with Midas in 2011

We visited London today to meet some clients and also meet the PR company who have been courting us for some time and who work with some of the large London Property Investment clubs - we were excited about their feedback.

They said we had no competition - because we were the only company that stayed with the client the whole 10 years and didnt run away. The other companies always try and fleece the client for money on expensive DVD training courses and also extortionate seminars. We know that people who attend these courses often leave excited and then lose their confidence and end up doing nothing afterwards which is a real shame.

So we are excited about getting national press and TV coverage next year.

Watch this space.
