Investment Criteria
The four criteria that any property has to meet before the Directors will acquire it are:
1. Underlying quality of the asset
- Attractiveness and sustainability of the location
- Well designed and constructed, and in a good state of repair
- Must have clear title with no restrictive easements or liens
2. Liquidity
- Sufficient net yield to service interest costs and capital repayments
- Attractiveness to other investors, i.e. to be able to sell on
- Non-recourse finance available from Swedish Banks at competitive rates
3. Provision of stable cash flow
- Tenants (residential and commercial) must be financially secure
- Lease must be transparent and well constructed
- There must be a reasonable spread in lease renewal/break dates
4. Capital growth potential
- Opportunities for value creation through renovation and/or development
- An ‘Off Market’ purchase
- Diversify the overall investment across residential, commercial and development projects to maximise gearing, rental return and overall capital growth potential
