I assume that you have successfully developed a portfolio of properties and are now looking to maximise the return, release as much cash as possible for further investment and generally take advantage of the changing market conditions as we move from a "sellers" market to a "buyers" market.

The following are a few points to consider:

Apply for "Portfolio Landlord Status" with a lender where you are able to get fast-tracked decisions on any purchase, obtain light refurbishment funding along with development funding.

Look to buy existing portfolios of possibly run down properties, upgrade and carry out a mix of sell and hold.
