INVESTORS CAN FLY HIGH WITH PROPERTY INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Nottingham investment company, Property Investment Portfolio (PIP), has launched Fly2buy – a property viewing service for potential investors. This new initiative from PIP will bring property investors from Ireland to the East Midlands for chauffeured tours of the best properties the area has to offer.

Property Investment Portfolio is one of the UK’s leading property investment companies, with a portfolio of over 200 properties predominantly in the Midlands and the North of England, worth in excess of £20 million. The company is now offering this property finder service, to pass on local knowledge and expertise to help other investors build up a successful portfolio.

PIP has launched Fly2buy to make investing in property as easy and hassle free as possible. The company organises all of the viewings in advance, collects the investor from the airport and escorts them around potential properties.

Arv Soar, director of P.I.P. explains why this service is so valuable to investors: “Our Fly2buy service is not like anything else available to investors. It combines convenience with expertise to make sourcing properties as simple as possible. Fly2buy allows our customers to fly over from Ireland in the morning and be home by the evening after spending the day viewing properties.”

“Our service is the best available because it combines our 20 years of market knowledge, with our quality portfolio of properties sourced from trusted partners. Fly2buy gives the investor an opportunity to experience first hand the properties their money is buying.”

Fly2buy operates primarily from the East Midlands Airport but the service is also available across the UK if an investor would like the service after arriving by train or at another UK airport.

Arv Soar started PIP in 2006 and enjoyed a successful first year, where it nearly doubled its projected targets. Fly2buy is the latest service launched by the company, as it continues to expand its portfolio and move into new areas in the UK and abroad.

PETROL STATION FUELS LUXURY DEVELOPMENT FOR PROPERTY INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Nottingham investment company, Property Investment Portfolio, has acquired Teesdale Garage on Hucknall Road in Nottingham to develop into luxury architect-designed apartments, to compete with some of the UK’s leading housebuilders.

Sherwood Court, as the development will be named, will comprise 13 bespoke apartments in close proximity to the city centre, offering something a little different to major housebuilders also developing properties in the area.

Arv Soar, director of P.I.P. explains: “Sherwood Court is only a small development but it is offering investors the chance to buy something completely unique. We wanted to create individual, bespoke apartments, which offer space that you can’t find in most new build properties in the city centre.”

Sherwood Court will include 12, two bedroomed properties offering massive square footage of between 636 sq ft and 761 sq ft, and a one bedroomed property at 517 sq ft. The apartments offer the best in modern design, outdoor space and secured gated access, and will be sold off-plan. The development is due for completion in Spring 2008.

These apartments are in close proximity to the City Hospital and the city centre, so will appeal to key workers and young professionals alike. Sherwood Court is the latest development of the new build arm of P.I.P., which also currently has apartment developments in Derby and Mansfield.

Property entrepreneur, Arv Soar started P.I.P. in 2006 and just last month the company relocated to larger offices in Wollaton, Nottingham after a successful first year, where it nearly doubled its projected targets. Arv now has a portfolio of over 200 properties worth in excess of £20 million and has recently been appointed non executive chairman of London consortium, Grosvenor Investment Consortium.
