What clients say
“Having not been convinced with pension performance being sufficient for our retirement plans, we contacted our Financial Advisor and after discussion, we felt an investment in property was right for us. We have friends who had prior dealings with Grant Management and painted a picture of quality and confidence, so we contacted them and were impressed by their approach and the way the introductory information was presented. We had an issue with GM, but it was resolved to our satisfaction and as problems will occur, you can expect a sensible and efficient resolution, which is what we experienced. The first come first served approach of available properties has seen a welcome change to a service based on Investors requirement. We have gone on to invest on a second property with GM and as such, I would recommend them to prospective investors – we are now on target with our retirement plan, we have an income that covers our outgoings, a capital investment and GM provide a hands off management function – ideal for an overseas investor like ourselves.” Mr and Mrs Scott, Doha, 2009.
"I am a busy surgeon working both in UK and in several developing countries trying to deliver appropriate health care and training to those who need it. That is my passion and that is what consumes my time. But I also have to look after my own family and future and like the concept of investment in property as part of a balanced portfolio. I heard about Grant Management through my brother and with their help have bought a student house in Nottingham to let. Grant Management found the house for me, provided accurate estimations of rental value, bought the house, negotiating a substantial reduction on the asking price, renovated the house, furnished it and let it for me. Of course they charge fees but these are fair and up front. They continue to provide monthly statements and updates on the house. Their service is honest, clear, well explained and I have been impressed with everyone I have dealt with in the organisation (especially Charlotte). I have recommended them to others and plan to use them again in the near future". Chris, 2009.
"I had been considering investment in property for many years, and was finally ready to commit to my first buy-to-let purchase. Having researched the various options open to me I decided to invest via Grant Management. A property matching my requirements was identified in Dundee, I signed-up, and have been delighted with progress. I was kept clearly informed every step of the way, tenants were found for the property while it was still being renovated, and I have now received my first months rental income. It was a little disconcerting how little I had to do, basically pay out the investment money and get monthly income back. Grant Management have taken care of all the details, little and large, as they said they would. I would highly recommend Grant Management to others, and I am already signed-up to buy my second rental property with them". Robert, 2009
"I decided to invest in property because I wanted to diversify my investment portfolio and see property as a sound long term investment. I initially invested with Grant Management in the summer of 2006 and bought a 2nd property (through Grant Management) 6 months later. The reason I chose Grant Management was because they would look after the refurbishment, keep up to date with all the regulations and find and manage tennants. I don't have time to get involved so I have been happy to leave it to Grant Management. I am keen to invest in a third property whilst the market is so attractive for buyers." AB, 2009.
"We had spoken about investing in property for about 6 months and came across an article about Peter Grant in a Sunday newspaper. I called him and liked the advice he gave and how he was running his business. The first property we bought I asked Peter to manage it. This was a 1 bedroom flat and although we knew that the space could be put to better use it was decided to let it as a 1 bed. After a couple of years we had this converted to 2 bedrooms and used Grant Management to oversee the project.
"Over 10 years we have purchased a further 7 flats and now have a total of 6 in Edinburgh, 1 in Glasgow and 1 in Stirling. We feel we are always given good investment advice re location and yield. We rarely have void periods and have had very few problems with tenants. Any problems we do have are handled quickly and at the moment we have an excellent client manager.
"From buying the flats to having them let out there is very little stress as Grant Management handle everything. The flats are of a very high standard which makes them easy to let. Any repairs are quickly handled which keeps tenants happy and gives Grant Management a great reputation.
"I would have no hesitation in recommending Grant Management to prospective investors and tenants." Y. Bennett, 2009
"I was first introduced to Grant Management early in 2007 and since then have acquired 3 different Edinburgh properties through them. As a busy professional myself I do not have the time to source and manage properties or tenants but Grant Management provides a service that takes over every aspect of these areas. They source properties, liaise with solicitors, valuers and banks, find the tenants and collect the rent. In short, they take care of all of the problems and provide me with the comfort that all of my properties and dealings meet Statutory and Best Practice requirements. At all times I have found Grant Management to be professional and reliable. I receive excellent customer service and have absolute confidence and trust in the people that I deal with. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending to my clients and associates Property Investment in general and Grant Management in particular". David Gray, Belfast, 2009.
"For me, from here, it would be virtually impossible to source properties in the UK that I know will be in the right area, in the right condition with letting potential. The formula works for me! Grant Management also deal with the modernisation, upgrade, finding tenants and ongoing management. It's a one stop shop." Malcolm M, 2007.
“I’m delighted with the way GM have taken care of my property needs – both purchasing & refurbishing, and letting & managing. They always do what they say they’re going to do – on time and on budget – and are always friendly and helpful. They’ve saved me lots of time and worry and I highly recommend them to other landlords and property investors.” Terry, 2009.
"I now have a single point of contact who has taken care of everything with my properties. He has taken care of pretty much everything. So not having to concern myself with insurance, council tax and all that goes along with property investment means that on the most part it is hassle free.
But I guess what I’m happiest with is the investment side of things. The ability to pick properties which you can buy which are good candidates as ongoing rental properties is fantastic for some-one like myself who’s main line of work is not property investment. I don’t want to spend the time looking for property to invest in and I want to be able to diversify into other cities in the UK. So in that respect Grant Management is ideal. In terms of my current properties, the two properties I’ve bought through Grant Management so far have pretty much got the target rent advertised and have not involved a huge amount of effort on my part. Going forward, given I will be leaving the UK in a couple of years, the ‘arm chair’ approach to property investment will mean I should be able to continue to invest in UK property when I leave. So yes, I am very happy. So much so that I have already recommended yourselves to a number of people." CM, 2009.
"A tailored, personal service that is efficient and focused. GM has made buy-to-let in the UK hassle-free from our home in the Gulf." Deborah, 2009.
“I have been enormously impressed over a number of years with the highly professional ,yet always friendly,manner in which they coordinate a unique package of purchase, refurbishment, furnishing, finding tenants and ongoing rentals. Timescales for completion and prices quoted have always been rigorously adhered to. Despite the growth of the company the personal touch has been maintained and any minor concerns have always been dealt with swiftly and efficiently. I would have no hesitation in recommending their service to potential investors".
"Grant Management have a complete management package for purchasing, refurbishing and letting flats in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling aimed at people who want to invest in property to let "
"Grant Management managed to get tenants for our investment property before they had finished the renovations and are charging a rent which appeared to be at the high end for Liverpool when I checked the rents advertised in local estate agents. The tenants - on the other hand, said in the past, they had paid more for a less nice place. So it seems GM have managed the trick of keeping everybody happy." Andrew H
"They have been very efficient. Everything they promised has been delivered. Purchase prices and refurbishment prices quoted were achieved, as was the expected rental price and occupation date" Peter K, 2002
"Well what can I say? Tenants lined up 2 months before the project is even finished. Well done Grant Management!" John F, 2007
"Grant Management provided a turnkey property investment which was delivered on time and on budget - with no surprises. Overall from start to finish, a very professional organisation and a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to continuing to do business with them in future." GD
"Grant Management have taken the worry out of buying to let. Their staff are pro-active and helpful. They have taken care of everything and we are now the happy owners of two properties, both of which let within days of completion. Number three is in the pipeline!"
“The process was so smooth, as first time investors as were able to sit back and relax. It was such a simple hands off process that we almost expected something to go wrong but it didn’t – far from it, the whole experience was faultless with the property renting out with ease.” FS
