UK Property Investment
The U.K. is, and always will be a primary investment destination. This is due to many factors, the most important being that we are an island and our market operates on the simple premise of supply and demand. The bottom line is, we do not have enough housing stock to keep up with the demand fuelled by immigration, divorce, people living longer, etc. We have over fifty years of historical precedence to suggest that U.K. property doubles in value, on average, over seven years. While the market has obviously slowed down over the past few months, the U.K. is still a safe investment for those with liquidity.
Our strategy of investing is low risk. We advocate low/no money down with positive cash flow from the rent. If you adopt this strategy, you can make money in any market, and survive even the toughest market conditions.
At present, the mortgage products in the U.K. make investing in this format almost impossible. As the U.K. market is also based on the availablity of funding, it is suffering, as it becomes harder and harder to finance deals. However, if you have liquidity, now is the time to pick up some fantastic deals.
We currently have deals of up to 20% discount on U.K. holiday lets and HMO's - the only types of investment we believe are viable here in the U.K. at present. For further information, or to have properties sourced specifically to your criteria, please conact Vanessa Warwick, finalist in the Bradford and Bingley Female Property Investor of the Year 2008 Awards. Vanessa is a tenacious sourcer of property deals and had developed fruitful relationships with many of the U.K.'s main developers. She has experience of running both HMO's and U.K. holiday lets and is therefore coming from a position of strength.
We are adopting the following strategy to get through these challenging times in the U.K.:
1. Keep in constant contact with your U.K. mortgage broker to keep up to date with new products. They are changing on a daily basis so you need to know what's available and if it can work for you.
2. Network to stay motivated and informed about the market.
3. Invest in up-market U.K. holiday lets for cash-flow and coastal appreciation.
4. invest in multi-lets for cash-flow.
5. Invest in Southern Cyprus to hedge your U.K. investments i.e. spread risk.
6. Keep a contingency fund.
7. Ask your U.K. lender for a product transfer to a fixed rate mortgage if you are concerned about interest rate rises, like we are.
8. Be price sensitive on your BTL's to get them let quickly during this transition phase where there is a lot of rental stock available.
9. Look to the upper end of the market in everything you do, as this is likely to be more recession-proof than the lower end of the market.
