D W Smith & Co’s Investment Department specialises in two areas.

Company Investment

If you are a company considering investing in residential property for a long term letting investment we offer a service in where we can identify or advise on the potential letable value of a property long term and short term. We provide a detailed report on the area, type of tenant and of course the all important rental returns and whether, in our opinion, we think it is a sound investment.

Buy to Let

Many people are now investing in property as opposed to the traditional pension funds because of the potential returns that are available. We can advise on what type of house/flat/apartment to buy, likely returns and the potential pitfalls. We have a great deal of experience in this field and are only too happy to provide a no-obligation consultation meeting.

Land

We can investigate whether a piece of land could be developed and advise on its open market value prior to planning permission and after planning permission. We also can go to planning on your behalf and advise you accordingly. Please see Land and New Homes Division.
