We provide a hands off, hassle free portfolio building service, tailored to our client’s specific criteria whether that is creating maximum cashflow per month, achieving X% gross yield or generating maximum capital growth. The MCG Investments team has expert knowledge of the local property market and strong working relationships with local estate agents which enable us to offer attractive returns to our clients. ~ THE PROCESS ~ Onboarding Tanya McGeehan, MCG Investments Managing Director will schedule a call, to have an initial conversation about your investment goals. During this call you will discuss the type of properties you would like to purchase, finance options, location, preferred property strategies and your long term plans. You will receive a follow up email summarising all that was discussed on the call, along with our Sourcing Agreement contract to sign and return and relevant compliance checks to complete. Acquisition Process Now that the client has been onboarded, we will begin to research potential investment opportunities based on the clients specific criteria, e.g gross yield; budget; location; cashflow etc, creating a bespoke shopping list for each client. We carry out all viewings and extensive due diligence of potential properties and once a potential suitable property has been identified and agreed on, we will send the client a detailed report which will include all relevant financial data, including an estimate of any refurbishment works that may be required; valuations from local estate agents on both market value and potential rental income; internal and external photos; comparables from the area; a map of the area; description of the potential tenants the property would appeal to and finally, some information about the local area, such as local schools, universities, new large capital developments that will increase values in the area in the future. MCG Investments can project manage any renovation or refurbishment works for clients if requested. Legals Once the client has reviewed the report and are happy to move forward with the purchase of the property, MCG investments will oversee the entire conveyancing process liaising with estate agents and solicitors on behalf of the client. If the client does not have their own conveyancing solicitor or independent mortgage broker, we can refer them to the relevant professional within our wider team. We will immediately instruct a survey of the property to be carried out, we will review the report and advise accordingly. We will make arrangements for our trades team to inspect the heating and electrics in each property and price any required refurbishment works, prior to completion. Completion Once the property sale has completed, we will if necessary, carry out any refurbishment work. We will appoint a suitable letting and management agent and compile all relevant documentation required by both agents to onboard a tenant to the specific property. We ensure the client is properly registered as a landlord and on the TDS system. Our involvement only ceases once an appropriate tenant is identified, vetted and deposit paid. Please note, MCG Investments is a member of the UK Property Ombudsman; we have all relevant commercial insurances in place to protect our clients and we are registered with the ICO for Data Protection. Client confidentiality is of utmost importance to us. We are not FCA regulated and we do strongly advise all clients to seek their own independent financial and legal advice, before entering into any investment agreement.

At the moment rental accommodation in Northern Ireland must have an EPC rating of E and above, but did you know that come 2025 all newly rented properties must have an EPC rating of C and above, and all existing tenancies must comply with these new rules by 2028. There are many ways to improve your property’s energy efficiency and why it is key for landlords to be planning ahead for these proposed changes from the Government. At @mcginvestments we offer a construction project management service where we carry out building, renovations or refurbishment works on your property, whether it be for your own residential home or an investment property. Some of the best ways to increase your EPC rating would be installing, new A-rated double glazing windows, these will not only keep your warmer but could also reduce your energy bills significantly. Another option is loft and floor insulation. Insulating your ground floor is another great way to save money on your heating bills and increase the EPC rating. Most of the heat in our homes is lost through the roof because most homes do not have enough insulation in the loft. Topping it up from 120mm to at least 270mm of insulation will significantly reduce heat loss. Other options can be cavity wall insulation, changing the boiler to a more energy efficient one, heating controls and low energy lighting.

MCG Investments is set to build on the growth in 2023 with a number of new residential property projects set for completion. Northern Ireland property development company MCG Investments has reported a 100% growth over the last 12 months with property transactions in excess of £3 million. Led by female property entrepreneur Tanya McGeehan, 2022 was a record year for MCG Investments which buys and sells properties, both for its own extensive portfolio and on behalf of private investors and joint venture partners, having completed 27 property transactions of varying sizes which included 16 buy to let property acquisitions. The Cookstown company is set to build on this growth in 2023 with a number of new residential property projects set for completion including a 20 unit build scheme, an eight unit social housing scheme and two apartment schemes. Managing director of MCG Investments, Tanya McGeehan, said: “Before I started the business, my husband Stephen and I had mainly been investing in property for our own family as a future pension and windfall for our children in years to come. MCG Investments was born from this passion and having continued to pivot our services throughout the pandemic, we have experienced consistent growth. Despite this success, I never expected the business to be transacting millions of pounds of property deals within a few years and to have been in the position to build a growing and highly experienced team, so it makes me very excited for our future.   The local industry has been riding a bit of wave in terms of the health of the property market, and whilst 2023 looks set to be slower due to economic and global factors such as the cost-of-living crisis and the higher cost of mortgage finance, at MCG Investments we believe we are well placed for another year of growth. We’ve had a great start to 2023 with new acquisitions secured and a record number of enquiries from both investors and agents. And through partnerships with other like-minded property investors, we have a strong portfolio in place including development sites, residential buy to lets, houses of multiple occupation and commercial buildings so we are set for another busy year.”  Irish News Article >>> Read here Newsletter Article >>> Read hereInsider Media Article >>> Read here
