How We've Helped Others
Every property investment is different, because every investor is. Our due diligence gives you clear, tailored insights, so you can evaluate the opportunity with confidence before making a major financial commitment.
"Development & Mortgage Issues"
Simon - UK
I was considering an apartment in Nottingham, set to complete in 18 months. I was advised to start my mortgage application 6 months before completion. Thanks to the due diligence from WHY BUY Properties, I discovered:
The developer’s two previous projects were delayed
Mortgage offers for past investors expired before completion and many had to reapply, incurring extra costs
Some faced financial penalties for late completion
This insight helped me avoid unexpected costs and make a more informed decision.
"Yield Confusion"
Joanne - UAE
While considering a property investment in Manchester, Joanne was told she’d receive a 5% NET yield. Our due diligence revealed:
Lettings and management fees (9% + VAT) were not included the agent claimed management wasn’t “obligatory”
No answer was given when asked how an overseas investor could self-manage
20% income tax wasn’t disclosed
Her actual NET yield would have been just 3.9%—a critical difference she hadn’t been told.
"A Messy Investment"
Majeed - Saudi Arabia
The property investment being sold to me sounded too good to be true. I was offered:
- 10% growth during construction.
- Yields of 8%.
- Rental growth of 8.5%.
- Mortgage rates of 4% in 18 months.
I approached WHY BUY Properties to investigate and their findings explained that property values do not grow during construction, the yields were exaggerated, the rental growth is more like 4.5% and my mortgage rate would be closer to 6%.
Good to Go!
Asma - UAE
Asma was considering a property investment in Birmingham. WHY BUY Properties conducted a full analysis, including:
Purchase price and rental yields (gross and NET)
Developer track record, purchase and operating costs
Rental comparisons and resale forecasts
Findings:
Agent’s info was accurate and realistic
Only concern: potential increase in service charge not included in yield.
Overall, the investment aligned with Asma’s expectations, she proceeded with the purchase—and bought two more properties the following year.
