Why Invest in Property
"Every Year More and More People become Millionaires from Property"
a) Supply & Demand
According to official government figures, there is a shortfall of
four million homes in the UK and with ever increasing population
and not enough houses being built this figure is expected to rise
every year. With the ever growing population, single parent families,
mobile workforce, the demand exceeds supply
b) Low Risk
1) Property prices have doubled every 6-7 years regardless of short-term
fluctuations in the market.
2) Over the last fifty years, property prices have risen at a much faster
rate than inflation.
3) The rental sector has been growing steadily over the last few years
4) Stocks and shares are volatile. They can fluctuate and even lose total value. Property
offers lower risk with good rental and growth prospects
5) It is very attractive in the current climate of low returns
from banks, building societies and equities
6) Thousands of people are supplementing their pension with property
c) Tangible Investment
1) Unlike insurances and pensions, UK residential property is tangible
bricks and mortar and provides solid capital growth and good rental
income.
2) Increased control over your investment
d) Borrow Money
Funding is readily available for property investment. Property is the
only investment where you can borrow 85% or more of the value of the
property and pay the mortgage from the rent received. You can start
investing in property with very little capital
