How Kudo Property Works
1Due Diligence
We identify a potential property investment and perform detailed due diligence to analyse the opportunity. If the property is a promising investment for our clients, then we will negotiate a deal with the property owner in line with our due diligence values.
When a deal is agreed with the property owner, all purchase costs are totalled to set a target price.
2Fund Raising
The property is then listed to our clients on our Kudo Property online platform for a set amount of time, where a limited number of shares in the property will be available at a fixed price until the target price is achieved through client investment. This phase is known as the Initial Public Offering (IPO).
For example, an IPO property investment opportunity has a target price of £100,000, and 100,000 shares are available at £1 per share. If a client invests £10,000, then they will have 10% ownership of the total property investment.
3Deal Completion
Once the target price is achieved, our Legal team liaises with the property seller's solicitor to complete the purchase of the property. A Kudo Property subsidiary company is created as a legal entity, and shares are issued to our clients based on how much they have invested.
Once the property sale has completed, the investment is officially live.
4Investment Management
Our Kudo Property team liaises with estate agents to find tenants for the property to fund all outgoings, and provide dividends to our shareholding clients.
The Kudo Property team handle the ongoing management responsibilities for a small fee, which is paid through the property rental income. We publish all transactions to maintain transparency with our clients.
All surplus funds are regularly paid as dividends to our clients based on their ownership %. To help maximise returns for our clients, and to lower investment risk, we have a strict 'no loans' policy.
5Performance Monitoring
We regularly receive independent valuations of the property, so that our clients are kept up to date with their investment value, through their online Kudo Property investment portfolio.
If a client of ours would like to sell any of their property investment shares, they can sell at their own price within the Kudo Property community using the Kudo Property Exchange.
