My first impression of IPIN was being struck by the courtesy and understanding of the IPIN staff. Something which I thought was reminiscent of a bygone era. IPIN were very professional in the management of my investment.

When I first read about the Secure Exit Strategy, I thought the 25% return too good to be true, but IPIN have proved me wrong, as, I invested in The Flaxby Secure Exit Strategy in October 2009 and exited in June 2010, 9 months later with a whopping 48% return.

People at IPIN are not pushy, they are friendly, patient, helpful and easy to reach during and after business hours, when it suits me best. This is what I expect from an advisor. I am planning to further expand my portfolio based on the results achieved by the IPIN team.

As we approach retirement conservative and secure investment programs are the only ones we considered. The IPIN SES program fits our investment goals perfectly and has performed as advertised. Who can argue with a 26% annualised return in the current economic environment?

There were two main aspects that attracted us to this investment; the strength of the commercial proposition itself (the product was eminently marketable) and the extensive security provided by the escrow and other associated legal arrangements.

After almost two years of working with IPIN, I am convinced this is one of the best wealth-building investment vehicles available.

Docklands is the second successful SES unit I've bought-into. For me, this still represents the best thing I can do with my money - not only is it secure, but the returns are guaranteed too. Another thing I really like is how the projects to which IPIN apply the SES always seem to be really sound - they're not just good SES investments, they always have a lot going for them as traditional investments.

I invested in the Secure Exit Strategy (SES) as an addition to my existing property portfolio. I was very surprised when told that I had been exited within just over 6 months. I was extremely happy with the returns I made and decided to reinvest those returns with IPIN.

Mr Robert D
IPIN member and investor

As the first of my investments with IPIN, I was keen to see an early result on one of my units even though I understood I should be prepared for the maximum 36 month term. I was delighted when I received a call to tell me that the first of my units had exited in less than 3 months.

Mr J Donald
IPIN member and investor

I invested on September 21st 2009 after some searching questions. I have been kept informed of progress over the whole period and on February 25th 2010 my unit was sold. The strategy has worked extremely well for me and I elected to reinvest into another SES venture using 1,013 GBP of the return plus the original investment.

If you're thinking of securing a property investment, UK markets might just have what you're looking for. Whether you're looking to save for your retirement, increase your income or simply become wealthier, UK property investment is an excellent way to achieve your goal. However, if you're a first time investor, you may know little about the process of buying and the importance of entering into an investment with a carefully thought out strategy.

Finding the home of your dreams can be fairly straightforward, but walking into the deal with your eyes closed could cause all kinds of complications further down the line. Before jumping straight into buying investment property, UK buyers must be completely aware of certain factors. So once you have a plan in place, only then can you use your capital to its maximum potential, with the minimum risk involved.

So when it comes to investing in UK property, which strategy is the right one to suit your needs? Well, it all depends on your requirements. Take the short and medium term strategies – these are typically carried out in one of two different ways. The short term investment (often referred to as the "flip" strategy) can yield returns in just one or two years whilst the medium term investment (also known as the buy and hold strategy) may show its returns in three to five years.

As advised by most property investment companies, UK housing purchases may also require defensive and offensive strategies (also referred to as "active" and "passive" strategies). The defensive should provide the foundation of your property investment in UK markets - it carries less risk and will almost certainly make you a good profit.

Although the offensive should be approached cautiously and only when extremely necessary, for example when a very sound opportunity presents itself, it can increase your capital rapidly and in a very short period of time. However, if you employ an offensive investment strategy, you will need to ensure that these do not destabilise your portfolio.

With such an extensive offering of property investment companies, UK markets and types of properties, choosing the right strategy to suit you can be a little daunting. Always keep a clear focus on your main objective - what you intend to get from your investment. If fast returns are what you're after, opting for a short term (flip) strategy will work for you. And if you are happy to wait for higher profits, a medium term (buy and hold) strategy will be the best option.

Upon finding an investment property for sale, UK investors and those from overseas must always work to a specific time period. The strategy you choose to use should always be coordinated with this.
