USE THE MARKET TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
With ISA’s, savings accounts and general interest related investments providing low returns alterative investments are even more sought after. Property not only provides better returns but also security, it is and has always been one of the best performing lower risk asset classes.
Typically the two main requirements from an investor are wealth creation and wealth protection both of which can be achieved by property investment. Property can provide a steady income or increase your pot in a shorter periods of time. Of course you could have a strategy combining both.
Long term, land and property has always gone up in value. Of course there are better geographical areas to invest in than others and like all commodities this is dictated by supply and demand i.e. London is one of the most expensive cities in the world because the demand is high, outstrips supply and as a consequence prices continue to rise.
We invest in what would be regarded as the safe areas where capital growth is strong therefore your capital is protected. With much turmoil in the world economies London and surrounding areas provide a safer more certain investment attracting both domestic and overseas investors.
By generating income, be it steady or a one off return, property allows the investor to spend time on other areas, personal or business.
By holding on to property (invested correctly) it can not only benefit you now or in retirement but be something that can be passed on benefiting family and loved ones.
The returns possible alongside the security make it a no brainer. Where else can you make 20-40% return on your money whilst at the same time knowing that your initial investments is safe?
