It was fantastic to see so many of you at the Property Investor’s Christmas Party 2010. Despite the terrible weather conditions and the problematic transport issues, we had a great night with a number of memorable highlights. After the reception where everyone was treated to a glass (or two) of festive mulled wine, we then seated ourselves and enjoyed a lovely meal.

Ian Gray entertained us with his magical talents whilst the celebrations continued. After dinner we then held our first Property Investor’s Charity Auction. I am pleased to announce that we raised an incredible £7,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. This could not have been achieved without all of the gifts that our property experts donated to the auction. On behalf of the Make-a-Wish Foundation and all of those who attended the party, I’d like to say a special thank you to all of the property experts that were in attendance and donated to the charity auction.

After the auction, the property experts serenaded us with their entertaining performance of the Cha-Cha-Cha (highlights will soon be released). This was followed by dancing and mingling by all. Although the party was scheduled to finish at 12:00am, we were still alert, active, and enjoying ourselves up until 2:00am.

We shall be presenting the Make-a-Wish Foundation with a large cheque at the next Essex Property Network event on 11^th January 2011 and you are all welcome to join us.

We have already started preparations for next year’s event and we plan make it bigger and better. Please view pictures of the event by clicking on the following link:

Why consider selling at auction?

Cyril Thomas — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 07:24:04 +0000

Many “Below market investors” have told me they are being offered more properties then they are able to buy or feel comfortable holding onto.

At Tudor network auctions we have created a unique package which allows you to sell on surplus stock at a profit, typically you can achieve anything between 5% to 20% returns.

Selling at auction allows you to either buy more properties, so you can profit even more from the discounts already available, or negotiate even better terms.

Properties offered at the correct reserves attract serious investors. Many who buy at auction are cash rich and time poor so auction is a quick and convenient way of obtaining investments.

At auction once the gavel falls contracts are exchanged with completion 20 working days later, so auctions provide a fast and certain way of selling. No gazumping or gazundering!

Auction is a suitable way of selling all types of properties including BMV’s, commercial investments, probates, refurbishments, and land with or without planning permission, plus tenanted properties or portfolios.

Tudor network auctions has been successfully selling BMV’s right across the UK and helping their clients benefit from the current market conditions.

If you would like to discuss your individual requirements or properties then please contact me in strict confidence at alan@tudorestates.co.uk or call me on 07767612566 or for more information about selling at auction log onto www.trustintudor.co.uk and hit the auction button.

I look forward to working with you

Kind regards

How many properties have you bought this month?

Cyril Thomas — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 16:35:57 +0000

It’s been an amazing month for a number of our EPN members. Three of our regular attendees have bought two properties each this month in the Essex area. One of the members has only attended two EPN events and has now managed to acquire two sourced properties from another EPN member that will secure him a positive cashflow of £600 per month. You can ask them how they managed to do it at the next EPN event.

Two other members opened up a letting agency in Leigh on Sea. One of the EPN team members is in the process of buying two properties in Portugal. Some say that things quieten down at this time of year but EPN members do not believe in missing out on opportunities.

Our next event is on Tuesday 14^th September. With only 17 seats left and more than three weeks to go, don’t be left out, reserve your seat now at http://ow.ly/2t3eN.

£50,000 in equity and £500pm of positive cashflow

Cyril Thomas — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:55:43 +0000

So far this month, I have been exposed to 9 discounted properties in Essex that were all 25% below market value. A number of EPN members were lucky enough to benefit from my finds. One particular member will have made just over £50,000 in equity and £500pm of positive cashflow in the space of just four weeks, from two deals that I introduced him too. He has booked a ticket for the next event so I will encourage him to share the details with you all.

On Tuesday 13^th July at the Holiday Inn (Brentwood just of the M25 and A12), Peter Disney and Richard Shepherd will be leading the next Essex Property Network event.

Tesco expected to launch property website within weeks

Cyril Thomas — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:01:42 +0000

The supermarket giant was forced to abandon plans to launch its online Tesco Property Market venture at the end of 2007 due to the current legislation governing estate agents and sold the business to estate agents Spicerhaart.

However, a report unveiled yesterday by the Office of Fair Trading suggested the legislation dating back to 1979 should be relaxed to allow more online agents into the market.

It said the housing market was dominated by traditional estate agents which fail to offer competitive prices.

Google, the internet giant, is reportedly planning a property search service in Britain.

Tesco is understood to be working with estate agent Spicerhaart on the new website, which has yet to be given an official name but has been code-named Project Indigo.

It will see properties being advertised on Tesco’s own website.

Rosalind Renshaw, of online magazine Estate Agent Today, said: “It won’t quite be like picking baked beans off the shelves but it may not be far from it.”

Sources suggested the business will begin in a small number of locations which have yet to be finalised although areas under consideration include Milton Keynes, Reading and Brighton.

A Tesco spokesman refused to rule out the launch of the site, saying: “We welcome the OFT’s conclusion that legislation can be updated to make it easier for new entrants to service customers and that a “recognised and trusted brand”, such as Tesco, entering the market would allow for greater competition between online services and traditional estate agents, to the benefit of the consumer.”

A spokesman for Spicerhaart said: “Any statement regarding the Tesco project will be from Tesco.”
