Choosing the right PPC platform for your property marketing campaign depends on your target audience, type of property, and marketing objectives. A diversified strategy that leverages the strengths of each platform can help ensure broader coverage and engagement across different segments of the property market. Testing and optimising campaigns based on performance data will further enhance your ability to connect with potential buyers and tenants, maximising your marketing investment and achieving your sales goals. By choosing J Group Platinum, you will be sure that we always use the platforms that are performing the best for your specific type of property-related business. Ads For Commercial Properties? LinkedIn and Google Ads are more suited for targeting business professionals and investors looking for commercial real estate opportunities. LinkedIn's professional audience allows developers to target by job title, industry, company size, and more, making it suitable for B2B marketing or attracting high-net-worth individuals interested in investment opportunities. Google Ads stands as an indispensable tool for marketing commercial properties, primarily due to its expansive reach and the highly targeted nature of its search-based advertising. This platform empowers developers to engage potential investors and buyers precisely when actively searching for commercial real estate opportunities. By harnessing the power of specific keywords, geographic targeting, and strategic remarketing efforts, developers can efficiently attract leads with a strong intent to invest, making Google Ads a pivotal component of any successful commercial property marketing campaign. PPC Strategy for Property Marketing For maximum impact, property developers should consider an integrated approach, leveraging multiple platforms to cover different stages of the buyer's journey—from awareness and consideration to decision-making. Analysing performance data and continuously optimising campaigns based on insights will help in refining strategies and ensuring the highest return on investment. Combining PPC with other digital marketing efforts, such as SEO, content marketing, and email marketing, can further enhance visibility and engagement, creating a comprehensive digital presence that attracts and converts potential buyers effectively. --- - Published: 2024-01-27 - Modified: 2024-02-20 - URL: https://jgroupplatinum.co.uk/services/social-media-marketing/ Web Design Web Development Search Engine Marketing Search Engine Optimisation Pay-Per-Click Campaigns Social Media Marketing Get a Free Quote MarketingDevelopmentInvestingConsulting Your budget< £50,000< £100,000< £5,000,000 Call: +44 (0) 113 322 3088 Why Choose J Group Platinum?

This guide aims to shed light on PBSA investments, outlining what they are, the benefits and drawbacks, and key considerations for potential investors. What is Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA)? PBSA refers to housing specifically designed for university students. Unlike traditional university halls or shared student houses, PBSA units are modern apartments or cluster flats with ensuite facilities, often called 'student pods. ' These accommodations come with communal amenities like lounges, gyms, and study rooms. Utilities and amenities are typically included in the rent, offering a hassle-free living experience for students. Located in university cities across the UK, such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham, PBSA has grown in popularity due to increasing student numbers and investment in the sector, with Knight Frank reporting almost £3. 1 billion invested in the first three quarters of 2022 alone. The Advantages of Investing in PBSA Investing in PBSA comes with several appealing benefits: High Yields: Student properties often offer higher yields compared to other residential investments. Strong Demand: With student populations growing, the demand for quality student housing is on the rise. Attractive Rent Levels: PBSA can command higher rents than other accommodation types in the same area. Low Voids: Students typically rent for the entire academic year, reducing the chances of vacant periods. Modern and Well-Maintained: PBSA is appealing to both students and their parents for its modernity and maintenance. Hands-Off Investment: Professional management companies handle day-to-day operations, making it an easier investment for those who prefer a more passive approach. The Disadvantages However, there are potential downsides to consider: Dependent on Student Numbers: A decline in student populations could impact the market. Potential for Oversupply: Some areas may face a surplus of PBSA units, affecting rental demand. Costs: Service and management fees can reduce overall returns. Financing Challenges: Financing options for PBSA investments might be limited or more costly than traditional buy-to-let mortgages. Affordability for Students: The higher rent of PBSA may not be affordable for all students. How to Invest in PBSA Investment options range from buying shares in companies that operate PBSAs, investing in related investment trusts or REITs, developing new PBSA projects (typically for institutional investors), or purchasing individual rooms in PBSA developments, which may offer guaranteed rental yields for a set period. Key Considerations Before Investing Demand and Supply: Assess the student population and the existing and planned PBSA in the area. Costs and Yields: Compare purchase costs and potential yields with other investment opportunities. Management and Running Costs: Understand the costs involved in managing and maintaining the property. Future Resale Potential: Consider the resale market, as PBSA units are a more niche investment. Market Trends: Keep an eye on how factors like demographics and international student flows might impact the market. Conclusion While PBSA offers a unique investment opportunity with several benefits, it's not without its challenges. Prospective investors should conduct... --- - Published: 2024-01-29 - Modified: 2025-09-12 - URL: https://jgroupplatinum.co.uk/property-market-insi/your-guide-to-hmo-investment/ Insights from Our Experts Welcome to the J Group Platinum blog, where we unravel the complexities of investing in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)—a strategy known for delivering exceptional returns and the potential for a substantial income replacement. HMOs are not a one-size-fits-all investment, but there is much to learn and gain for those considering the shared living property market. What Exactly Is an HMO Investment Property? An HMO property is designed for investors aiming to rent out individual rooms to tenants. Often transformed from family homes into co-living spaces for housemates, HMOs come in two primary flavours: student house shares and professional house shares. Each has its own set of considerations, from wear and tear to rental income consistency, and it is crucial to understand the nuances of each to maximise your investment. The Allure of HMO Properties as an Investment The higher rental yields compared to standard buy-to-lets make HMOs an attractive investment option. With each room rented out separately, the risk of income voids is minimised, allowing for a more stable cash flow. Our network of partners at J Group Platinum has often seen HMOs generate substantially more income than traditional buy-to-lets, showcasing the financial viability of this investment strategy. Why Choose HMOs? Investing in HMOs offers not just financial gains but also portfolio diversification benefits. The resilience of HMO investments during economic downturns and pandemics highlights their reliability. However, it is not just about the income; it is about achieving a level of financial returns which are reliable even during a downturn. Which, in turn, provides investors with the freedom to take advantage of unique investment opportunities when other investors cannot. Navigating the Risks of HMO Investing Just as with any other investment, HMOs come with their own risks. However, the diversified income from renting out multiple rooms and the consistent demand for quality shared living spaces mitigate these risks significantly. The potential rewards can far outweigh the challenges with the right approach and understanding of the market. Getting Started with Your First HMO Investment HMO investment might seem daunting for newcomers due to the regulations and complexities involved. Therefore, we at J Group Platinum offer guidance and investment opportunities together with our network of seasoned experts, preparing you to make that first HMO investment a success. What to Look For in an HMO Property When viewing potential HMO investments, it is essential to consider licensing regulations, renovation potential, financial projections, local demand, and long-term growth potential. These factors are critical in making an informed decision and maximising the return on your investment. Choosing the Right Location for Your HMO Location plays a crucial role in the success of any HMO investment. Understanding the local market demand, yield potential, and regulatory environment is key to finding the right property in the right area and avoiding costly mistakes. Comparing HMOs with Other Property Investments When weighing HMOs against other investment options, such as serviced accommodations, commercial properties, or purpose-built student accommodations (PBSA), HMOs still offer unique advantages,... --- --- ## Current Property Portfolio - Published: 2024-01-27 - Modified: 2024-02-20 - URL: https://jgroupplatinum.co.uk/current-portfolio/qdos-entertainment/ Qdos Entertainment Scarborough, North Yorkshire Qdos Entertainment is a family-owned entertainment group founded in 1999 by Nick and Sandra Thomas, who expanded their former business, Nick Thomas Enterprises. Qdos Entertainment grew to become one of the largest entertainment groups in the UK, with businesses in theatre production, hospitality, talent management, design, and print. Qdos Entertainment has a history of producing and staging pantomimes and musicals in the UK and abroad, as well as owning and operating pubs and restaurants in various locations. In 2021, Nick and Sandra Thomas sold their two core businesses, HQ Theatres & Hospitality Ltd and Qdos Pantomimes Ltd, to different buyers. However, they kept their Qdos Entertainment brand, which still operates in the theatre production and leisure sectors. In 2023, Qdos Entertainment co-produced several shows, such as ‘The Wizard of Oz’, ‘Crazy for You’, and ‘The Little Big Things’, and continued to run their long-established businesses. With their extensive experience with various landlords, we are glad that Qdos Entertainment has chosen to be a long-time partner of J Group Platinum. Therefore, we are happy to continue providing Qdos Entertainment with the property they need to run their business efficiently. J Group Platinum was chosen as a provider of office space for Qdos Entertainment’s Scarborough office because: Our company has a local presence and knowledge of the Scarborough market and can provide tailored and flexible property services to meet Qdos Entertainment’s needs and expectations. J Group Platinum has a proven track record of delivering high-quality, cost-effective property projects. We can offer Qdos Entertainment competitive rates and lease terms.

The site contained a wide chalet bungalow along the fully build street frontage, with two storey residential dwellings on narrower plots either side. The property benefitted from a significant rear single storey addition and space to the side of the plot containing parking and small outbuildings. The property was in a mix of uses, both as a residential, owner occupied, dwelling and part short term holiday rental. Despite the site’s location within the Green Belt, and the Local Plan identifying the site as outside of the settlement of Writtle, J-Group identified the potential for limited infilling and re-development of the site on which the bungalow sits following demolition. An 18-month option was agreed in July 2021, following which, a planning application was submitted Dec 2021 for an infill dwelling which was approved Jan 2022. In April 2022 planning was submitted for the demolition of the existing chalet bungalow and erection of three new dwellings was approved in June 2022. Following the approval of four dwellings within a year of the option agreement, we were able to complete well within the 18-month timeframe of the agreement. --- - Published: 2023-08-16 - Modified: 2024-02-20 - URL: https://jgroupplatinum.co.uk/completed-projects/imperial-house-colindale/ Imperial House, Colindale Having worked in partnership with Regent Land and Developments and the Hyelm Group this project in Colindale provided high-quality co-living accommodation.

With the changing economic landscapes, the once straightforward path to property investment has encountered its share of turbulence. Despite these challenges, the allure of investing in real estate remains potent. J Group Platinum is here to explore the enduring appeal of property investment and why, even amidst uncertainty, it stands as a beacon for astute investors. The Cyclical Nature of the Property Market: Opportunities in Flux The property market is inherently cyclical, marked by periods of growth followed by corrections. This pattern is not new; historical data from the UK House Price Index shows significant fluctuations in property prices over the years, with downturns observed in the early '70s, early '80s, late '80s, early 2000s, and the 2008 financial crisis. Despite these downturns, the market has consistently recovered, often reaching new heights. This resilience underscores the potential for property investment to be a wise choice during both the peaks and troughs of the market cycle, especially when approached with a long-term perspective. Navigating Short-term Uncertainties with a Long-term Vision Recent forecasts have painted a mixed picture of the immediate future of property prices, with projections from Knight Frank, Savills, and the Office for Budget Responsibility suggesting short-term declines followed by steady increases in the coming years. While these forecasts highlight the market's current volatility, they also affirm the growth potential of property investment over the long term. It's a reminder that successful property investment requires patience and a strategic approach, focusing on the horizon beyond temporary fluctuations. The Unwavering Strength of Supply and Demand The fundamental principles of supply and demand are at the heart of property investment's enduring appeal. The UK's growing population and the chronic undersupply of housing ensure sustained demand for property. This imbalance supports the long-term growth prospects for property values, echoing Mark Twain's timeless advice: "Buy land, they’re not making it anymore. " Property Investment: A Multifaceted Avenue for Growth Investing in property is not solely about capital appreciation; it offers multiple benefits that underscore its attractiveness: Regular Income: Rental properties can generate steady income streams, providing financial stability and a hedge against inflation. Inflation Hedge: Real estate has historically outpaced inflation, protecting and growing your investment over time. Accessibility to Finance: The availability of affordable financing options further enhances the appeal of property investment. Tax Advantages: Despite recent changes, strategic property investment can still offer significant tax benefits. A Tangible Asset: Unlike stocks or digital currencies, property is a tangible asset, offering a sense of security and permanence. The Proven Track Record of Property Investment The history of property investment in the UK is a testament to its potential for long-term growth. Over the past five decades, property prices have consistently risen, with each decade marking significant increases in value. While not guaranteed to continue indefinitely, this trend highlights the potential for the property to be a valuable component of a diversified investment portfolio.
