Looking at average rents for properties and rental returns, some regions outperformed the rest of the nation by staggering amounts, highlighting the hotspots for investment throughout the year.

Great sales and after sales service, highly recommended. Daniel was particularly helpful and went out of his way showing me around and even driving me around Liverpool to see other developments with no notice. Very knowledgeable, and a real asset to the the company...

Adam and Joshua were brilliant! Very smooth process throughout the initial stages of purchase and helped at every step, even escalating matters that were not RW Invest matters to be dealt with. One point of feedback would be for RW invest in general is to seek alternate law firms on the documentation process as the experience with the one appointed was one I wouldn't recommend.

I have purchased a property from RW Invest. Ryan Dunning was a great help to give great overview of the area and the financial analysis. He took time to explain everything in great detail. After reserving the property, Adam Burns has been a great help through the way, being a bridge between the solicitors and me, getting back with responses tp my questions very quickly. He was very diligent and made sure the process went smoothly. Thank you Ryan and Adam!
