Uk Housebuilder Offers Investors 6% Rental Guarantees Until 2012

March 5, 2008 - PRLog -- Buy-to-let investors who purchase a new home from George Wimpey will have their gross rental income guaranteed until 2012 through a simple new scheme. The offer aims to make it easier for would-be landlords to enter the buy-to-let property market by guaranteeing a gross rental yield of 6% of the purchase price for the first four years.

The scheme is available on a selection of George Wimpey properties on developments across the UK.

George Wimpey’s approved letting agents will make life even easier for new landlords by finding a tenant for them and they’ll still receive monthly rental payments, even if their property is empty.

Daniel McGowan, strategy director for George Wimpey, comments: “This is a really straightforward scheme which allows buyers to enter the buy-to-let market safe in the knowledge that they will receive a minimum 6% return until at least 2012. Reports suggest that the demand for UK rental properties remains buoyant and we’re certainly still receiving a great deal of interest from both seasoned buy to let investors and those looking to become landlords for the first time. Our homes are modern, well designed, low maintenance and cost-effective to run, making them ideal rental properties.  

“The guaranteed rental offer is just another example of our tailor-made schemes that offer real practical and financial advice, making it easier for our buyers to purchase the right property for them.”
