Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)... what’s the deal?

Honest Property Investment with Natasha Collins ·

2022/09/13

Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the % that I hear investors parsing a lot. This figure is your Net Annual Rent divided by the Cash you put into the deal less any equity you take out of the deal = ROCE as a %. Nowadays it's common for me to hear 50% or 75% ROCE employed banded about like it's some easy, risk-free thing to be able to achieve. It’s not. Easy is 10%-20% ROCE. 25% ROCE means you’ll need to make some tweaks to the building. 30% or higher means there’s some risk involved in

The Reality of Commercial and SSAS lending right now

If you are in the SSAS or commercial property world in the UK then I’m sure you’ve already heard of Alastair Hoyne and Finanze (info@finanze.co.uk). He and his team have some awesome products right now… But, I’m absolutely sure you’re also thinking, interest rates are going up, lenders don’t seem to be as keen on lending on commercial and especially not commercial property purchased in my SSAS so how on earth am I actually going to move forward in todays climate. I get you, which is why I wanted to

2022/08/30

I thought that I’d have a little fun over the last couple of weeks and purchase something that no one would expect. I transferred some of my business profit into my SSAS and purchased a telephone box for £11,200 (plus fees of £1,250 inc VAT) in Central London. What am I doing with mine? I’m first renting it out to my Ltd company for £80/month and we’re going to do a little marketing/educational piece with it (which is why I can’t tell you exactly where it is yet). I hope this podcast inspires you to

2022/06/28

Today’s podcast is all about tax planning - and why this is so NB right now. I have a lot of great advice on what you can do to fix mortgage interest rates and even fix your maintenance costs, but I’m a Surveyor and I stay in my lane. So this week I invited a tax professional, Neil Ryder, to come onto my podcast and explain ways in which we can put in place a tax strategy for our property portfolio so that we know roughly how much tax we’ll be paying (or even saving) so that we can plan

I thought it was time to bring out the big guns and share with you some stories of commercial property that I’ve been involved with over the course of my career that were absolute horrors at the time… I look back on them now and laugh, but also thank goodness I experienced them because it’s made me a better surveyor today. I thought I’d share some of them. Every property is different. Every tenant is different. In all honesty, a lot of these you would never have seen coming… but a little bit of

So, if you’re someone who doesn’t yet have a SSAS and wants one please make sure to speak to your financial advisor. Getting started: you need to make the decision to
