Why Invest in Property?
The property business is a financially rewarding and exciting business. It can produce a consistent income, even once you have retired. Historically, property has doubled in value every seven years. No wonder property investment is now seen as the best way to provide long term financial security.

An Alternative to Pension
For the last 10 years, property investment has outperformed and showed none of the risk associated with traditional investment vehicles. In recent years we have seen stock market prices fall and pension funds obliterated. In comparison, property has continued to rise in value. In fact, property prices in the UK have risen by a staggering 138% since 1995. Many people have invested in property as an alternative to a pension.

Shortage of Housing in the UK

• The UK has a serious shortage of housing caused by a number of social and demographic factors.
• Unlike other European countries, our population is expanding significantly and it is predicted to reach 62.7 million by 2016 compared to 58.8 million in 1996.
• The number of people living by themselves is increasing. Government figures show that by 2010 up to 40% of UK households will be occupied by single people.
• This means that the demand for property is increasing therefore driving up the price of property in the long term.
• According to the Office of National Statistics there will be an annual shortfall of housing in the UK of over 100,000 properties each year for the next decade. This could mean a 1 million housing shortfall by 2020 if current trends continue.

Why New Build?

• Easy to let
• Attracts the right type of tenant (corporate let, professionals etc..)
• NHBC means very low maintenance for the first 10 years
• Discount means maximum return
• The earlier you buy, the cheaper the property will be. With off-plan property, you can purchase before the development is built. You can benefit from capital growth with only a small deposit down….and without having to make any mortgage repayments until completion.
