I found 2 possible new residential investments and I wanted to show you the entire process from start to finish on how I would view the properties, what questions I would ask the agent/landlord, what my return on investment strategy is and most importantly, how do I structure the deal. This is a full breakdown behind the scenes video on how I bought a block of flats.

Great Video once again James, such an underrated channel
Very insightful video, the value of having experience and a great team in the background.
Great video James. Please keep doing more of these type of videos. 👍🏼
Love this video! Getting bored of so many "similar" property channels - subscribed!
Awesome how u show the workings out. 👏🏻👏🏻
Very insightful James, great to see your thought process!
Great video. Thank you for all this knowledge
Great video mate, what an amazing deal 🏠🙌🔥 keep these property videos coming all day longggggg
Excellent content as always.
Well done 20% + is amazing!! i put 85k cash into a 3 bed semi buy to let in Bury St Edmands and i thought my 10% roi was good, i am new in property, hope in a couple years to be doing bigger deals like these, love your videos James, i am from Essex but moved out to Suffolk
Excellent explanation of ROI 👌🏼 and a great investment
This was wonderful :-)
great video thank you so much
This content is good enough to be on a TV channel.
Have you just found the channel?
Top man James love your videos 😁
Love it!
Brilliant another corker! I’ve been so inspired by these videos and podcasts I’ve just completed on my second industrial property it came with a tenant only 10% ROI though so that’s a bit sloppy I must try harder next time! Thanks for the great content 👍👍
I'm sure if you follow James advice you can increase that ROI easily.
I just realised I missed a few corker bits of detail on this video.
1. The stamp duty was only £500 as the LTD company share value was £100k
- huge saving, thus increasing ROI.
- I could of acquired this property with circa 70k of cash if I wanted to, i chose to put more in to reduce the interest on the loan.
Thanks
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur how did you get to meet the seller?, most estate agents avoid this at all costs ??
brilliant mate
Thank you James! Love your business content but dumping our excess profits into property is the way to go at the right price & ROI. More content like this please. Thank you 😄
Great work on 5x that 3.75% return from Option A with the deal you made for Option B 🚀
Damn, this was GREAT
Very informative and inspirational how you do business. Good luck I'm sure you may surplus that valuation of 950k ROI will be very nice
Great video feels like the revolution of homes under the hammer haha
Thanks Sean! That truly is a compliment!
Hi James, please make a video on how you raise the finance for all your properties/businesses and how you are able to live with all the debt? :)
Just came across your channel James and this project - what end value did you get? Did you split the title to increase the value? How have the interest rates affected the cashflow (you probably fixed the rates?) Sorry for all these questions but it's what I do as co-editor of YPN magazine. Thanks
Option B I hope
interested in this one,, did you do the new vid?
And nice bit of MDR to cut the SDLT, Brucie bonus.
No Sir. It’s better than that.
The stamp was just over £500 as I bought the company, the share value was circa 100k at .5%
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur - great stuff James, forgot about buying the company. Very rare to find that situation, certainly makes the deal even sweeter. Good find, im inspired.
Like the cut of your jib James. I know it 2 years ago , but how did this turn out. Subscribed btw
Your mind is a calculator. Amazing
Hello, could you mentioned what was a stamp duty please
What sort of mortgage epild you get on this? Standard btl or hmo
I've been watching Grant Cardone for a while and been trying to find a UK focused multi property investor for some time.
Could you please provide links to other content you have on this subject?
Great video 😎
What the hell you doing here 😂
@Cablesmith Electrical are you stalking me? 😆😆😆
@@RichardArblaster you know it 😂
@Cablesmith Electrical I always knew you were my no 1 fan 😆😆😆
Great video
Thanks Dan. How are you?
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur doing great. Just away in Venice on an Easter break with the kids!
James when you talk about resi tax.. What do you mean? I am looking to grow a b2l portfolio using a ltd company.. I'm aware that is a better option? I would rarther get into commercial though..
Great insightful video James! How do you build connections for off market deals?
This was a case of viewings. It wasn’t off market, I found this on Rightmove.
“Do you like Rossi’s?” Cut.
@0840 fast forward to 2023 and base rate went to 5.25% ...
Making more hay from more rabbit clutches isn't inspiring. Something gonna have to give in the UK. I guess there's a push to go paperless so we can sleep in the unoccupied filing cabinets.
Sorry, I miss your point here?
Well I get that but I also think if you look at flats from 50 years ago there’s a marked improvement. I firmly believe that me investing in property has been the sole reason I have stayed in business and that has allowed me to employ 1000’s of people and stay in the game. In addition I think the UK is one of the best countries in the world to live; with some of the best living standards.
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur Thank you for replying James. Thank you for your transparency. I admire what you do. What you don't know about business doesn't seem worth knowing, you break things down so they are easy to understand. I may come accross as a troll that is not my intention. I have little to no idea what it's like now. However, I don't believe entrepreneurs of today in general are on the same level as those in bygone ages. John Healthcoat as an example. Had a lot of his lace machines destroyed in the Midlands. Not only did he move his operations to Tiverton, he took his workers with him and built houses for then. He wasn't the only one that did that. Who does that now? I like the fact you do things in house. I like the you seem to have empathy for your staff. We have to be grateful for you James and all that you do. We are all dependent on entrepreneurs to pull us up. The higher you go the higher the rest of us go.
Great video as always.
Quick question do you have 1 ltd company for all your property deals? Or do you put them in one of your other businesses ltd companies as assets?
Multiple companies depending on the deal.
In this case I bought the company that owns the property due to stamp duty savings.
Great thanks for letting me know. Just for a bit of context, I own a recruitment agency. Been trading just over 12 months. If I was to buy an office for us to trade out of (we are renting at minute) would you just do it through the current trading business or set up a second ltd company to purchase it and then rent it to my rec biz?
Cheers
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur Do you have one holding company or are you just a director of multiple companies?
Great video btw!
I can only echo the other comments! Another fantastic video.
Out of interest, so did you buy the ltd company and thus avoid the stamp duty?
I did buy the LTD company and annoyingly left that key piece of info out. Our commitment to get content out means I missed the final edit of this.
My stamp duty was worked out on the share value which was circa £100k; so .5% of that = £500 stamp duty. Huge savings.
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur wow that is some saving. Love stuff like that, something a lot people don’t realise!
Was there another video for this? Also on the video that got me here you mentioned you only paid £500 stamp? I am aware if you have 6 dwellings in 1 purchase it qualifies for commercial stamp duty rates which are cheaper. Just wondering how you got it to £500?
Why not use an estate agent? Do you really want to be managing the rentals yourself?
Good video but why does he sound like Tyson fury
Just a question block A, 1.3 million wasn't for the freehold of the block ? Just the flats of which 3 was owned by other people?
It was a share of the freehold.
So each flat owns a proportion of freehold.
In the edit that info was cut.
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur really for it to work you needed the overall control of the freehold then you would be in control.
Having the full freehold you probably would have been able to put another block on the car park.
I think being able to put something on the car park was the key to that block.

Hi James may i ask your advice please, i have a freehold 2700 sq foot warehouse with 2000 sq foot yard in Halstead Essex. owned for 3 years brought £240,000 now worth £325,000-£350,000, fella few doors down things next year price will drop, i do not think so as lack of small units and lot places getting sold out to put homes on, where do you see prices going over the next year and five years pretty please????
I think small industrial units in essex are like gold dust. Markets go up and down, I see property as a long term game. If you think decades you’ll be fine IMO.
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur Thanks James, I am thinking too small! Thank you x
Word of caution. Things always seem plain sailing in these types of videos. Development finance is highly expensive and risky. That lady had no tenants, I find it hard to believe that is just because she couldn't be bothered with tenants. The area and building may not be the best and the type of tenant in that area also.I doubt very much he will achieve the £950k valuation from £650k. Banks always undervalue anyway. The fact the flats are all on one title suggests that there will probably be a lot of work, not only legal, in establishing tthem as searate flats such as with utilities electrics etc.
Why do landlords not see tenants as customers?
I absolutely do, it’s the best way to think.
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur I agree 100%.
Wonder if this guy loves anyone else? Or just loves himself?
£15k left after £65k rent?
Profit after mortgage, tax and all costs.
@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur hi james yes i understand that element, just seems an awful lot of costs. Im comparing to a small block i own that gives £21k after costs, on rent of 28,800.
Or are your costs inclusive of a refinance to pull your cash back out?
Ps i only discoverd you this week have been hooked on your videos all week! :)
@@krisjenkins4167
I’m a higher rate tax payer so it’s representing my net net position.
The mortgage is 3250 PCM ( Cap and int)
£39k a year
Leaves 24k
After all costs I still stand by my 15k.
I appreciate I am paying the capital down and this is profit but in reality I really do t think people factor in all the costs; I have a lot of property and there is always hidden costs.
Glad you’re loving the videos, thanks for watching
Sorry for what I did.
What did you do?
