Here’s a go-to website for local investors to venture in the UK property market
Founder reveals expansion plans.
FirstPropInvest.com.sg just launched its brand new website enabling local property investors to get an access to the very latest new build developments in the UK. Providing a “virtual window” to the Far East market, the website is focused on getting investors on London property market showcasing a wide range of properties to suit potential investors’ budget.
Aimed to be Asia’s leading online platform for new build properties in the UK, and to be the investors’ trusted platform, FirstPropInvest.com.sg is founded by Myles Clement in 2013. As someone who has always been in the property industry Myles noticed that there is no one-stop-shop for Singaporean investors keen on the UK property market. He argues that the only option for investors is to attend seminars held by specific developers. Now with FirstPropInvest.com.sg, the platform elbowed the middle man out of the equation, enabling investors to search across a wide range of properties that match their needs and budget. It also allows investors to get in touch directly with property developers and assist with any other services they need.
Likewise for property developers who aim to establish a footprint in the Far East, FirstPropInvest.com.sg also provides a platform for UK developers to showcase their portfolio to the Asian market.
As the company is led by investors and developers, Myles said that if investors are looking at other areas of the UK, the platform will look to expand into those areas. At the same time, they also look for possibilities expanding to other countries such as Australia.
While the company is currently self funded, Myles said that they have met with several Singapore based Venture capital funds, of which all are keen to invest in the company once they are ready.
“So far we have invested time in building relationships with the key UK property developers and also invested in the technology required to launch our website in Q2 2015,” said Myles.
Currently, the platform will be Singapore-investor focused with plans of expanding on Malaysia, Hong Kong and Indonesia going forward.
