Investor questions
Anything else? Email hello@northyield.co.uk.
Are you estate agents or investment advisors?
No. We are property sourcers who identify and secure opportunities. We are not regulated investment advisors and do not act as estate agents, but our service includes negotiating directly on your behalf to secure the best possible price. We do not provide regulated financial or legal advice.
Why do you charge £500 upfront?
The retainer means we work with serious investors and can put proper resources into your search from day one. It isn't an extra cost: the full £500 is credited against your success fee when you complete.
Is the £500 refundable?
It isn't refunded if you walk away — we'll have done real work on your behalf — but it isn't an added fee either. On a completed deal your total cost is the success fee: 3% of the purchase price, with a £3,000 minimum. If we never source you a deal you're happy with, £500 is the most you'll have paid.
How long does the process take?
From signing our agreement to presenting deal options typically takes 2–4 weeks. From first contact to completion is usually 3–4 months, depending on the legal process and mortgage arrangements.
What yields can I expect?
Gross yields of 6.5%–9% are achievable in selected Tees Valley streets and stock types. We underwrite conservatively and highlight risk factors.
Do you help with mortgages?
We don't give mortgage advice, but we work with brokers who specialise in investment property and can introduce you.
Can I buy remotely?
Yes. We support remote purchases with digital viewings, location notes, comparable evidence and vendor context.
What happens after I buy?
We don't manage properties ourselves, but we'll introduce you to local lettings agents who understand investors, and we can project-manage a refurbishment with trusted contractors.
