The Property Investment Analyst is responsible for bringing viable property deals into the business and progressing them from initial opportunity through to a fully analysed, accurate and presentation-ready investment.
This is not a purely desk-based analytical role. The successful candidate will actively build the deal pipeline, maintain agent and stakeholder relationships, complete detailed commercial and property due diligence, and ensure every opportunity moves forward at pace.
Key outcomes for the role:
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of investable properties that meet AUC Property, client and social housing provider requirements.
- Consistently bring completed deals into the business, with an initial target of seven deals per month, growing to 10-15 deals in the next 12 months.
- Ensure every deal is supported by accurate financial analysis, property due diligence, floorplan assessment, risks, evidence and a clear recommendation for investment.
- Progress deals effectively by coordinating information across estate agents, solicitors, social housing providers, clients, and the build team.
- Maintain complete, accurate and timely CRM records so that every team member has visibility of the client, property, deal stage, documentation, risks and next actions.
Key Responsibilities:
Deal sourcing and pipeline generation
- Identify suitable on-market property opportunities across agreed investment areas.
- Build relationships with estate agents to create a reliable flow of suitable opportunities.
- Assess new opportunities quickly against location, budget, property type, ROI, social housing demand and client criteria.
- Maintain sufficient pipeline coverage to support monthly completion targets and avoid reliance on a small number of properties.
- Prioritise deals with the strongest combination of commercial return, compliance potential, provider demand and deliverability.
Commercial analysis and investment appraisal
- Prepare accurate financial appraisals covering purchase price, acquisition costs, refurbishment, finance, expected rent, operating costs, refinance assumptions, cash flow and return on investment.
- Test investment opportunities against client-specific criteria and clearly explain where a deal meets, exceeds or falls short of those criteria.
- Review comparable sales, rental evidence, end-value assumptions and local market conditions.
- Identify key commercial risks, sensitivities and deal-breakers before a property is presented.
- Challenge assumptions and verify source information rather than relying on unconfirmed figures.
Property and HMO due diligence
- Analyse floorplans for HMO suitability, bedroom sizes, shared-space requirements, access, fire safety considerations, bathroom provision and space optimisation.
- Review planning, licensing, Article 4, local authority and social housing provider requirements relevant to each property.
- Identify likely refurbishment requirements and coordinate input from the build team, project manager, architect, surveyor or other specialists where required.
- Arrange or support property viewings and ensure photographs, videos, measurements and supporting evidence are captured and stored correctly.
- Maintain a clear due diligence checklist and ensure material risks are escalated promptly.
Stakeholder liaison and deal progression
- Liaise with estate agents, solicitors, social housing providers, clients, the build team and other stakeholders to obtain accurate information and keep deals progressing.
- Coordinate questions, documents, timelines and decisions so that delays and information gaps are identified early.
- Follow up proactively and maintain clear ownership of next actions.
- Provide concise internal updates on deal status, blockers, deadlines and decisions required.
- Support the handover of secured deals into legal progression, refurbishment and project delivery.
CRM, records and operational transparency
- Keep all customer records, deal records, property records and pipeline stages fully up to date in GoHighLevel (GHL).
- Record call notes, stakeholder correspondence, key assumptions, risks, deadlines, next actions and decision history.
- Ensure links to Google Drive folders and all supporting documents are visible from the relevant CRM record.
- Use consistent naming, filing and version-control standards so another team member can understand and continue the deal without relying on verbal handover.
- Maintain accurate reporting data for management dashboards, forecasts and performance reviews.
Deal packaging and presentation
- Prepare clear investment packs including the executive summary, financial model, floorplan assessment, photographs, location information, provider demand, risks and supporting evidence.
- Present a balanced recommendation that explains both the opportunity and the risks.
- Ensure all figures and statements are checked before the deal is presented to a client.
- Support client questions and provide additional analysis where required to reach a decision.
