Maureen was a practicing conveyancing solicitor for over 25 years before  joining Alamo Properties Ltd. on a full time basis in 2022. Whilst she is happy to get her hands dirty, Maureen  also focuses on identifying  potential investments areas,;some of the key factors  considered are population (+80k), identifying those areas within good or excellent school catchment areas, with good transport infrastructure and public transport links, easy access to shops and within 5 miles of the town center. This  analysis helps identify focus areas with strong rental demand to minimise voids  that will deliver long-term passive income and equity growth. Once an offer is accepted Maureen will review the legal  title in-detail to provide independent legal assurance that we are purchasing a property of good title and marketable for use in the lettings market, Independent checks on EPC ratings, presence of gas and electrical safety certificates are also undertaken.
