WITH the recent uncertainty of the stock market, low interest rates and even poor returns on pensions, a wider group of people are turning to the property market as a form of investment.

Tunbridge Wells-based Martin & Co, part of the national residential letting agency group, which has seen interest for its buy-to-let advisory service soar over the last 12 months, is working with estate agents to find suitable properties for clients who wish to buy and then let without having to worry about the property.

David Johnson, principal at Martin & Co in Tunbridge Wells, said: “Our aim is to help those thinking of joining the growing number of people who see property as a safer long term investment, but they must buy the right type of property in the right area and at the right price and with the right management strategy in place from day one.”

Advice is provided to those who want to choose from a selection of lenders and mortgage schemes. Once a property is purchased, Martin & Co ensure it is prepared correctly, suitable tenants found and placed and day-to-day management of the property arranged. A free buy-to-let brochure is available. Call 01892 616161 for a copy.
