Second Homes at The Lakes by Yoo

With re-sale values of up to 44 % higher than the original sales price, second home properties at The Lakes by yoo prove to be a very sensible investment option

The Lakes by yoo, the luxury design-led private second home estate in the Cotswolds, is not only a great place to spend your weekends, it’s also a worthwhile investment option.

Since the opening of The Lakes by yoo in 2006, house values for resellers on the estate always secured a healthy return. With properties having been sold on, mainly by empty nesters or those moving abroad, statistics show that the ROI of a second home at the Lakes by yoo is highly attractive. Having evaluated the statistics from the last ten years, The Lakes by yoo can report that many properties have achieved a value increase of 30 %, with one property even achieving an impressive 44 % value increase when sold on.

This is great news for those looking to buy a second home on the luxurious, design-led and private estate, which is located only1.5 hours from London. Offering a full security and concierge service, events management, a bespoke activities team & access to a luxurious spa, The Orchard, with Bamford & Oskia therapies as well as a kids’ club with plenty of outdoor and indoor activities, the Lakes by yoo are a perfect retreat especially for families, wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city on the weekends – and, as proven now, a low risk property investment.

The concept of The Lakes by yoo is to create luxury, contemporary, designer 4, 5 and 6 bedroom lakeside and woodland second homes in a peaceful, secure estate in the Cotswolds, for families seeking peace of mind, relaxation, concierge services and plenty of activities. The YOO designs are for 4, 5 and 6 bedroom detached homes over two or three levels, with large, ground floor terraces projecting over the water. People can choose to buy an existing property (if for sale) or chose a plot with the opportunity to build their own dream home. With in-house architects available to work with owners on personalising their home on site, there is no reason why a dream home shouldn’t be a reality very soon. 

Additionally, to make owner’s investments go further, there is also the opportunity to include the second home into a fully managed rental pool accumulating additional income of up to 80k per year.
