Why invest in property?
Property has long been considered one of the most reliable and rewarding investment channels. From generating rental income to long-term capital appreciation, investing in property offers a tangible asset that can build wealth over time.
Managing property investments independently can be complex, time-consuming, and financially demanding which is why for the last 45 years Helmsley Group has been offering straight forward curated investment opportunities across the commercial and residential property sectors. We are one of the few businesses to offer high-net worth and sophisticated investors opportunities in property syndication, syndicated loan investments and development, all under one roof.
So, whether you’re a first-time investor or simply looking to broaden your portfolio, read on to find out more about the benefits of investing in property with Helmsley Group.
Benefits of property investment
Reliable long-term income
One of the most compelling reasons to invest in property is the potential for a reliable, long-term income stream. Especially when investing in commercial property, leases can last from anything between three to ten years or more, providing a steady and sustained return on your investment.
Further to this, certain types of commercial properties such as grocery retail and medical offices like Nimbus Healthcare’s tenancy at our Gateway 1, tend to perform well even during economic downturns. These essential services maintain demand regardless of broader market conditions, offering an extra layer of protection for investors.
Tax advantages
As well as gaining a reliable source of income, commercial property investors also enjoy several tax benefits, including depreciation deductions and mortgage interest deductions. These incentives can significantly reduce tax liability and enhance investors’ overall return on investment.
Capital appreciation
It’s often the case that properties appreciate in value, especially if they are well-maintained and located in growing areas. Strategic management and favourable market conditions can also significantly increase the property’s worth. When it comes to refinancing or selling property, investors often benefit from this appreciation, making investment in property a popular choice for those looking for a low risk, high reward investment option.
Diversifying investments
Property offers a way to diversify your investment portfolio beyond stocks and bonds. This diversification can help mitigate risk, especially during economic downturns. For example, while stocks may fluctuate due to interest rate changes, property investment in commercial sectors like warehousing or healthcare facilities may remain stable or even grow.
Why invest in property with Helmsley Group?
Expertise and market knowledge
At Helmsley Group, we focus on locations we know and understand. Being based in Yorkshire, we have an intrinsic knowledge of this region. Working with our network of trusted professional advisors with expertise across market trends, property valuations, and legal regulations, we leverage this experience to identify high-potential opportunities and deliver attractive returns for our client investors. By not borrowing and focussing on opportunities in prime locations we seek to minimise risk for our clients and our investment model allows them to spread funds across several projects to further minimise risk.
Access to opportunities
By investing with Helmsley Group, investors are able to access a broader range of opportunities than through individual property investment. By pooling resources with other investors through our syndicated property investment plans and fractional ownership models, our client investors can access properties with higher yields and more favourable terms, opening the door to higher returns and faster wealth accumulation.
Expert asset management
Unlike stocks and shares, where you have little control over performance, property allows you to directly influence its value. Our asset management team has a wealth of experience in tenant management and repositioning property for different uses. So whilst you retain full control of your investments, Helmsley Group looks after the day-to-day management of your invested properties and your role remains as low maintenance as possible.
Straight forward investment
From navigating the legal and financial aspects of property investment to sourcing tenants, we take care of the everyday operations, allowing investors to enjoy passive income without the stress of direct involvement.
We are also authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and our investment opportunities are always secured against land or property, giving investors peace of mind that their money is being handled responsibly and has the potential to provide attractive levels of returns on a mid to long term basis.

At Helmsley Group, we pride ourselves on investing in the right buildings, in the right areas, that offer the right returns for our client investors. In the last financial year, our investors saw net returns of between 5.7% and 9.7% after management costs and excluding capital growth.
For qualifying investors, our property investments offer flexibility, tax efficiency, solid returns and access to financially strong tenants on long term leases.
