Client Testimonials

Sarah Darby - Accounts Assistant

Metro - Kennington

Disillusioned with her pension, Sarah Darby felt that property would be a sound long-term investment.

She bought an apartment at the Metro in Kennington development a year ago, which she rents out through Young Group.

“Purchasing a new-build property from Young Group was a good way to boost my existing pension provision. The financial structure also has advantages over a renovation investment, as the initial outlay was much lower, and the mortgage didn’t become payable until after the property was completed and ready to rent out.

“Young Group furnished the flat in a very tight timeframe, and they manage the letting too. As I’m not local, this is a great hassle-free solution, which allows me to benefit from the investment, without the headache of being a landlord.

“I was impressed that Young Group took time to explain every step of the process to me. They really assessed my specific needs, and made me feel like I was their only client.”

Mark Williams - Financial Controller & Bridget Williams - Full-Time Mother

The Water Gardens - Surrey Quays

Husband and wife Mark and Bridget Williams were living abroad, and opted to purchase property in London through Young Group.

They own a property in the Water Gardens development in Surrey Quays.

“We had wanted to buy in London for some time, but were worried about finding someone we could trust. Being based in the Isle of Man meant we were too far away to manage the property ourselves.

“We took full advantage of the range of services that Young Group offer – finance, furnishings and lettings. We were extremely impressed by the level of service. Everything is done when it needs to be.”

Mark Whitley - Estate Agent

Lanterns Court - Canary Wharf

Mark Whitley was keen to take advantage of the potential for capital value increase in London as a result of the Olympics in 2012.

He has purchased properties in the Water Gardens and Lanterns Court developments.

“Other Olympic host cities have seen the value of property rise tremendously. As an estate agent, I recognise the potential for investment. I’m based in Scotland, so local expertise was crucial.

“The Young Group team have excellent local knowledge, as well as professional backgrounds in accountancy and surveying. It really sets them apart from other companies offering advice.

“You get a high level of service from companies that are family-owned, and this is certainly true of Young Group. Neil and Sylvana provide an excellent service, and I have already recommended them to friends and family.”

Mark Williams - IT Consultant

Union Wharf - Shoreditch

Mark Williams wanted a portfolio manager to help him get into the property market as part of his pension planning.

He purchased three properties through Young Group: in Shoreditch, Kennington, and Surrey Quays.

“I’m a lazy investor; I wanted to get into the property market, but without the hassle and groundwork involved. A portfolio manager was the ideal way of doing this, and Young Group were extremely thorough in their research.

“I’m considering investing with Young Group again in the next few months. It’s a long-term strategy, and I am already reaping the benefits.”
