For property investment London looks good

Central London property investment remains one of the most secure and best performing asset classes. 

Despite having taken a dip in 2007 due to restrictions imposed on buy-to-let borrowing, investors have started to come back into the London market again. In many parts of the city, this has been fuelled by investors from mainland Europe, and further afield, capitalising on the weaker pound. 

Although rental prices took a slight downward turn in 2008, after the market was deluged with unsold housing stock, prices towards the middle of 2009 started to increase and are now back near the levels seen in 2007. Despite this, rental returns in London always remain steady due to lack of new housing supply, a shortage which makes central London property a great investment.

How our Investment Property Search works

1. Consultation

Firstly we establish what kind of investment you are looking for. For some of our clients, a place where they themselves may want to live in the future is a key contributing factor to their investment requirements. For others, the focus is fundamentally on the immediate rental return and cash flow.

2. Establishing your short and long term investment objectives

We focus on how we can achieve the results you are looking to obtain from the property, both long and short-term. We need to know whether you want to manage the property yourself or if you prefer to have a “hands-off” investment.

3. The search

Our central London investment property search accounts for all components of long-term asset management. These include advising you on the best broker and finance options, management costs, target rental markets as well as tax implications of rental investments.

During this search we:

• • Inform you of market performance, past and present
• • Provide you with a SWOT analysis for each potential investment, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses
• • Carry out thorough research of rental values both historic and present
• • Brief you on intrinsic values including its annual Return on Investment and the difference between gross and net yield

 

Post Purchase Preparation

As part of our central London Investment Property Search, we can also help you plan the management of your property.

We can advise you on everything from the best rental furniture supplier to recommended builders and electricians.
