Thanks for the input guys.

i managed to get a reference on London Central Portfolio from a friend of mine who works at HSBC and they have been working for the private bank there for about 10 years…seem to be a legitimate bunch and from looking seeing some details have a good track record.

if anyone else is interested then let me know as have built up a bit of a file on them and going to give this a go.

good luck to everyone!

thanks for that andy

these guys with the fund are offering 10% compound interest on their fund and expect it to be higher with the olympics coming up…i have read quite a bit of press saying that over the long term the prime areas in london just keep going up and there isnt really a ceiling on it cos so many people are always looking to buy here and there isnt much available (as your contact said).

it sounds like a fairly low risk option going through this fund – i dont want to rent forever over here and it seems like quite a good way to get a foot in the door whilst i save up some deposit monies!

the fund is called the London Central Portfolio Property Fund – has anyone heard of it? presumably these guys will have a way to find properties – even with the lack of stuff around – otherwise they wouldnt be doing it!?
