What is the minimum investment required?
The minimum investment required to start with Y Real Estate is £10,000. This threshold allows us to pool your funds with other investors and ensure diversification across our portfolio of UK and EU holiday homes. By pooling resources, we can offer high-quality real estate investments typically inaccessible to individual investors.
If you’re interested in investing more, you’ll have the flexibility to increase your investment, which could result in higher returns.
What kind of returns can I expect?
Y Real Estate aims to provide investors with annual returns ranging from 2% to 12%. Returns come from a combination of rental income generated by holiday homes and potential appreciation in property value over time.
- Guaranteed Minimum Return: We aim to provide a guaranteed minimum return of 2%. However, it’s important to note that while we work diligently to maximize profits, actual returns can vary based on property performance and market conditions.
- Typical Return Range: On average, our investors have historically earned between 7% and 11% annually, depending on market trends and investment size.
Keep in mind that all investments carry some level of risk, and past performance is not always indicative of future results.
Can I exit my investment early?
Yes, Y Real Estate offers flexibility for investors to exit their investment before the standard holding period ends. However, there are a few conditions to keep in mind:
- Early Exit Fee: If you need to withdraw your investment before the end of the investment term, an early exit fee will apply. This fee helps offset any disruption to the portfolio and ensures fair treatment of remaining investors.
- Exit Process: To initiate an early exit, you’ll need to contact our support team. We’ll review your request and begin the withdrawal process, ensuring a smooth and timely exit.
Our platform is designed to offer long-term, stable returns, so we encourage investors to stay committed for the full term to maximize their earnings. However, we understand that life circumstances change, and we’ve made early exit options available for those who need them.
What fees do you charge?
At Y Real Estate, transparency is key. Here’s a breakdown of the fees you can expect:
-
Management Fee: We charge a small management fee on your investment to cover the cost of property acquisition, maintenance, and operational expenses. This fee is automatically deducted from your returns.
-
Early Exit Fee: If you decide to withdraw your investment early, you’ll incur an early exit fee. This fee is designed to protect other investors in the pool and maintain the integrity of the fund. The amount of the fee will depend on how early you exit and will be clearly communicated during the withdrawal process.
-
Other Fees: There are no hidden fees. We pride ourselves on being upfront with our costs. You won’t find transaction fees, performance fees, or additional charges lurking in the fine print.

Additional FAQs
Here are a few more questions our investors often ask:
Is Y Real Estate regulated?
Yes, Y Real Estate is fully regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK. This ensures that your investments are secure and compliant with all relevant financial regulations. We prioritize transparency, trust, and adherence to the highest industry standards.
Can I reinvest my earnings?
Absolutely! When you start earning rental income and returns on your investment, you can choose to either receive annual payouts or reinvest your earnings. Reinvesting allows you to take advantage of compound growth, maximizing your long-term returns.
What types of properties does Y Real Estate invest in?
We specialize in high-yield holiday homes across the UK and Europe. These properties generate income through short-term rentals, benefiting from the growing demand for vacation accommodations. Our portfolio includes luxury villas, city apartments, and charming countryside cottages.
What happens if a property underperforms?
While we diversify investments across multiple properties to minimize risk, there may be times when certain properties underperform. In such cases, your returns may be impacted, but our goal is to balance the portfolio with high-performing assets to maintain overall stability.
