Property Purchase

There are a number of reasons why property investment is increasingly becoming part of an individuals financial planning, particularly with future retirement in mind.

Why property?

• Mistrust in pensions following a fall in equity values and mis-selling issues.
• Rental properties offer a stable source of income.
• Property always has a residual value; prices will never fall to zero.
• Investors feel they have more control over a tangible asset.
• Property is an excellent collateral security, enabling the raising of finance
• Opportunity to diversify risk by investing in different properties and different locations.
• Long term increases in property values, particularly in the UK, have been consistent, with an ever increasing demand for homes. This gives confidence for consistent long term growth in property values.

However, simply saying you want to buy a residential investment property is easy, or for that matter a new home, but it's a complex process with many steps along the way fraught with frustration.

• Where do you start?
• Where do you look?
• How do you finance the property purchase?
• What if you have a property to sell – do you really need to sell it?
• Have you the time to search for the property?
• Once purchased how do you make sure it is properly protected?
