It all sounds too good to be true – is it?

Crowdfolio do not offer a get rich quick scheme. If you read our entire site you will know this is not the case.  Investment in property does not provide a 100% guarantee of success and as we all know the value of property can fluctuate down as well as up. Periods of time when your property remains untenanted are also possible and even if you have a tenant it is possible that arrears accrue if they stop paying the rent. However the long-term trend for property values is consistently up and the yields provided should outweigh any fallow periods that can occur. Your investments are designed to deliver a better than bank rate return, and as a medium to long-term investment, Crowdfolio provides an easy way into property investment.

What if I change my mind and want my investment back?

The money in your account plus funds you have invested in a Crowdfolio property that has not been fully funded can of course be immediately returned in full at any time. However if you have purchased a share in a Crowdfolio property which is fully funded you will not be able to withdraw your money until after the completion has taken place and then only by selling your shares or shares to another investor for that particular property.  This is to ensure that a purchase going through conveyancing is not stopped due to one or more of the investors pulling out which would be unfair to all of the other parties involved, including the vendor and Crowdfolio itself. You therefore need to be 100% sure when investing in any property, and only invest what you can afford to.

Are there any on-going costs once I have made my investment?

​No. The initial total cost of each Crowdfolio property includes a maintenance fund of usually 2% of the purchase price. This fund is held in the client account after completion and will be used for any ongoing maintenance issues that may arise. Every landlord can view the records of maintenance carried out on each of their properties and will also be communicated to you via email. Information shown includes:- original maintenance fund amount, description of maintenance carried out, dates, cost, copy of the invoice and the remaining maintenance fund balance.  We also take a 10% monthly management fee from the rental yields which we keep in a dedicated account to manage any other issues that may arise with the property.
