Prosperity

For over twenty years, Prosperity has worked at the heart of the UK property industry. Strong industry knowledge, coupled with an unrivalled

contact base of industry and legal professionals have served us well in securing high yielding investments in the residential, commercial and

overseas property markets. Providing specially selected, fully packaged UK property investments sourced at below market value, our tried,

tested and perfected buying criteria ensures strong capital appreciation and high rental yields for our clients.

Recognising the housing opportunities prevalent in the early nineties, Prosperity capitalised on the increasing availability of regulated tenancy

properties that came available to the open market, as well as a relatively undiscovered buy-to-let market.

Keen to capitalise on investment opportunities on a global scale, Prosperity ventured further afield, into the Greek islands of Cyprus

and Kephalonia. Selling over 2,000 properties across specially selected sites, Prosperity’s foresight in capitalising on freshly emerging EU land

resulted in a performance grossly outperforming the market, and securing high- profit returns for its investors.

Location

St George’s based on Carver Street is the finest example of city living, situated in Birmingham’s stylish Jewellery Quarter. A modern, sophisticated development, St George’s is ideally located to attract the rapidly rising number of professionals, young couples, and students who are choosing Birmingham to live and work.

Birmingham is a city is firmly focused on the future. Flourishing from a wealth of investment and regeneration over the past 20 years, there’s plenty more to come. Work is already underway on the £600 million redevelopment of its city centre train station, transforming it into a 21st century transport hub. With the proposed construction of the HS2 national high speed rail network, commuting to London will be made even more quick and easy, at just 39 minutes.

Right in the centre of England, everything is accessible in Birmingham. Proud of its distinctive heritage, yet energised by the youngest population in Europe, Birmingham’s transformation into a cosmopolitan, accessible and welcoming city has ensured that rental demand in the city continues to outweigh supply.

Located in the Jewellery quarter, one of Birmingham’s most sought after areas, St George’s combines modern styling with a high specification.

Education

Birmingham’s three universities and two university colleges have earned the city an international reputation. With over 60,000 young academics living and working in the area, Birmingham is the largest centre of higher education in the UK, outside of London. With the vibrant social and cultural scenes growing at the same pace, Birmingham's excellent transport links and central location makes it an attractive proposition for overseas students. This, combined with an extensive subject and course offering, attracts individuals of every culture and origin.

The University of Birmingham has long-standing links with the People's Republic of China and is one of the most popular British universities for both Chinese men and women, choosing to study overseas.

International students are extremely well catered for in the city, with a multitude of organisations providing a range of advice and support. These include English language courses, cultural information, as well as advice and guidance on working in the UK.

Enjoying world class cultural, social and sporting facilities as well as a prime central location, it’s no surprise that more international students than ever are choosing Britain's second city, to live, work and study.

Culture and Lifestyle

Described as England's 'most vibrant city', Birmingham boasts a wealth of cultural diversity. A world-class arts scene, shops by the thousand, lively nightlife and a strong sporting heritage are just a few of the attractions for the 32 million people that visit the city each year.

The cuisines of 27 different countries combine to produce Birmingham’s thriving food scene. Over 200 city centre restaurants offer the best culinary experience to the most refined of palates. No wonder so many visitors end up staying for good!

Home to two premiership football teams, a world-class Cricket Ground, and the internationally renowned Belfry Golf Club – the region covers all bases for sporting enthusiasts and athletes alike.

Housing the region's famous Jewellery Quarter, this area has all the vital ingredients for cosmopolitan, city centre living. Slick apartments, street cafes and old leafy Georgian squares come together, making it one of the most popular pockets of the city in which to reside.

The Residential Market

Q3 2011Trying to cut through the mixed messages about the market is important according to The Nationwide, whose report covers both lending valuations and land registry sales. House prices are now up 4.7% since the start of 2011 as a national average, but property transactions have slipped to their lowest level in two years. The market is currently building a pent up demand for property due to undersupply which is currently unable to be funded by want to be owners.

The substantial shift towards private renting is increasing the importance of rental growth across the housing market.

The LSL Property Services Group reports that in June rental inflation had reached 4.4% across the UK and 6.9% in London. Increased demands on the private rented sector, from new and existing households, reflect the changing nature of the housing cycle. The big question is who will supply the stock to meet this demand? Figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) show that the increase in the number of buy to let (BTL) mortgages is failing to keep pace with the demand for rented accommodation. More recently in the 12 months to March this year 108,000 new BTL mortgages were granted, but taking into account factors including remortgaging this only translated into 75,200 additional mortgages, down from a peak of 190,000 in 2007. As accidental landlords eventually leave the sector, there is an opportunity for equity rich investors.

2012 / 2013The need for banks to start lending again is important in numerous sectors and key within the property market. Lenders are already showing signs of competitiveness by the level of new mortgage products available. This cycle will look to continue as lenders compete for market share and therefore creating more aggressive rate offers. It is expected that the more equity rich prime markets will lead the recovery in house prices. The earliest significant growth will be fuelled both by the continued introduction of first time buyers with improved lending, alongside the pension provision sector of the investor market. Growth over the next five years is expected to be much like the pattern witnessed in the mid to late 1990’s, where prices rose at a steady rate due to a progressive increase in overall housing demand.

Savills Residential Property Focus Report (August 2011)

Steady increases are predicted as the upward trend continues; 2012 +2.0% 2013 +4.0% 2014 +5.0% 2015 +5.5% showing a +14.6% increase in Birmingham property values by 2015.

Anticipated Sales Values 2013

The average value of new build apartments in Birmingham is currently £295 per st ft compared to our St George’s offering at £200 per sq ft. An equivalent scheme 'St Paul's Place' also based within the Jewellery Quarter is currently achieving up to £335 per sq ft - although slightly better located, St Georges based on Carver Street shows excellent value.

The following page shows a schedule detailing a break down of all developments currently available in the city and their present sale prices. All of which are at differing stages within the sales process with most developments being over half sold.

Based on comparable research, our knowledge of the local market and land registry reporting, we have seen significant improvements in sales volumes since the lows of 2008 where 78 units were completed on within the whole of 2008, compared to 378 units from January - September of 2011.

Based on this activity we would anticipate further capital increase in value in addition to the current built in off plan margins.

Another train of thought offered by Savills research is the appreciation of what is been classed as Category C housing - property utilised by the rental sector.

This being the value of property based on rental yields and its value to investors. This figure is generally over and above the current market prices due to its high income producing nature.

“We look forward to the delivery of St George’s in 2013, on which we'll bepleased to offer lease backs at market value on this scheme. This comes as a response to the continued demand for accommodation in the city”City-Nites director Daniel Bolger

Current Supply and Due Supply

The table below details the current supply of apartments in Birmingham. Not only does this demonstrate the lack of current available stock, but also the average pound per square foot costing over £295.00. There is recognition within the industry that due to lack of bank funding for developers, the pipe line shortage is only set to increase, as these last few centrally located developments sell their remaining units.

St George’s, a direct comparable of the sitesshown below, will be available at £200.00 per sq ft to our investors - approximately £100 per sq ft less than the current market average, as shown below.

Deposit Payment Plan

Prosperity is working in partnership with the developer to create a unique payment structure for their clients for its St George’s clients- a first for property investment. The total deposit payable is divided by the build term months so can be paid throughout the build period on a monthly basis. This allows clients to retain their capital that maybe tied up in other investments, or cash lump sums, and pay their deposit over the build period maximising return on capital.

A mortgage of 70% is arranged for completion with the 30% deposit being paid in two main stages - 10% on exchange of contracts and 20% divided over the build period and paid monthly.
