UK Property Investment

Why is now the right time to invest in the UK property market?

Consistent income that can secure your retirement

The property sector is financially rewarding and it can be exciting too. The biggest appeal of property investments is that they can deliver consistent income, they can even fund your retirement. Throughout recent history, property prices have, in the long run, always risen. The upward trend has been especially strong since the 1970’s. Yes, there will always be dips in the market but over the long term, research shows that property prices have grown faster in the UK than any other European country. Since 1988, house prices have soared by a huge 333%. That’s an average of 12.3% per year. Property investment is now seen by many experts as the best way to offer you long term financial security.

There are three factors that make investing in property in the UK so appealing right now:

House prices


Thanks to a number of social and demographic factors, the UK is suffering a severe housing shortage.  The population is continuing to rise and this will prop up house prices for many years to come. According to the Office of National Statistics, for each year of the next decade, there will be an annual UK housing shortfall of over 100,000 properties.  This could culminate in a 1 million housing shortfall by 2025.

Growing demand


Rental demand is also rising fast.  This is due to immigration, more people living alone and rising house prices preventing first time buyers from getting on the housing ladder.  For landlords, this is excellent news. Buy-to-let properties are being let more quickly than ever – a trend that looks set to continue.

Interest rates


This makes borrowing cheaper if you are using a mortgage for your investment.  Paying less interest on your buy to let mortgage means that its more easily covered by the rental income from the property.  Low interest rates also make keeping your money in the bank or other savings funds much less appealing.

Excellent opportunities

Despite the rising interest in property investment there are still many excellent opportunities out there in the current market, with the right advice you will be able to find many property bargains in the UK.  I can confidently say that there are better opportunities in the property market now than there have been in the last thirty years, but these opportunities won’t be around forever, now is the time to get involved.
