Last month saw the first of a series of new property investors lunches at the Sussex County Cricket ground, hosted by D & L Property Services Ltd and Target Five Property Consultants.

The general idea of the lunch was to consolidate already active investors and to introduce new investors to their way of working within the property industry in Brighton and Hove.

Guests met in the bar for an informal drink before being shown through to the dining and presentation area.

First up was Stephen Grant, host of the Krater Comedy Club at Komedia, who gave his unique take on the Brighton property industry.

He also introduced the partners present – ASB Law, Brighton Accommodation Agency, Cardens Accountants, Preston Insurance Brokers and Mortgage & Lending Solutions.

Once Stephen had finished, it was down to Andy Babbayan and Craig Dwyer-Smith, directors of both D & L Property Services Ltd and Target Five Property Consultants, to detail their strategy for finding suitable investments for investors of all sizes, the best way to develop these properties to maximise the return and explaining the different options with real examples.

They also invited Dan Lyons of Brighton Accommodation Agency to explain property management and Robbie Grice of Mortgage & Lending Solutions to talk over the range of finance options available.

The consensus of opinion from those attending was there was plenty of quality, well researched information at the session and that those hosting the event knew exactly what they were talking about and know how to make money from property in Brighton and Hove.
