     Neil Young, Young Group’s CEO comments, “The wealth management service that Young Group provides centres around building and managing portfolios of residential property for individuals who are keen to invest in the asset class.”  This encompasses the entire process from identifying new build opportunities that represent value, sourcing funding for clients through Young Finance, (the Group’s FSA regulated mortgage brokerage), through to furnishing, letting and managing their investment properties upon completion through the Group’s Young London estate agency. Young continues, explaining how the Young London lettings and management division integrates with the wealth management service that the Group’s clients receive, “Our clients appreciate the long term returns that investing in London property can generate and the majority of them are cash-rich and time-poor.  In much the same was as a Private Bank does, we provide a single point of contact for our clients and a seamless approach to investing in an asset class that traditionally is intensive to manage oneself.  Typically, our clients will liaise solely with their Young Group portfolio manager, who ensures that the Young London team manages their investment properties appropriately to generate a healthy rental income and minimise void periods.” Young London manages more than 200 properties on behalf of Young Group clients and the first high street office will open in Southwark, London SE1 this summer at Young Group’s myBASE1 development on Southwark Bridge Road, SE1 (www.mybase1.co.uk). -ends-
