IMARU Property — build, care, invest

Invest

Local knowledge. Commercial thinking.

Property investment is about understanding the opportunity, identifying the major risks and deciding whether the potential return justifies taking them.

01 · How we think

Property investment means making decisions with incomplete information. There will always be unknowns.

Our job is to understand the opportunity, identify the major risks and decide whether the potential return justifies taking them.

02 · Understand the opportunity

Look wider than the asking price.

PROPERTY

See the potential.

Location, condition, works, rental demand and realistic alternative uses.

NUMBERS

Make it stack.

Acquisition, works, finance, income, end value, exit and the return required for the risk involved.

DISCIPLINE

Know when to walk.

Sometimes the opportunity is hidden. Sometimes the right decision is simply not to proceed.

03 · Bolton first

Investing where we know.

Bolton isn't simply an area on an investment map for us. It's home. We're based here and have built years of experience investing and managing property locally.

Being local means we can view opportunities quickly, remain close to refurbishment projects and directly manage the properties we retain.

04 · What interests us

No rigid buying box.

We're comfortable assessing property where condition, complexity or circumstances create an opportunity — provided the numbers make sense.

05 · Certainty can matter

Price isn't always the only consideration when someone sells a property.

Sometimes the property needs substantial work. Sometimes it's vacant. Sometimes the seller simply wants a straightforward transaction with someone who understands what they're buying.

06 · Working with others

Open to the right conversation.

Our principal focus is investing our own capital and developing our own properties and projects. We're not actively seeking outside investment.

We are, however, open to working alongside other investors where there is a compelling opportunity and a sensible fit.

Have an opportunity?

We're always happy to take a look.
