Historically, residential property has proved to be an excellent investment. The popularity of But to Let has risen rapidly following such changes as the abolition of rent controls, the landlord’s right to regain possession, the availability of ‘buy to let’ mortgages at competitive rates, increased demand from a more mobile workforce and changing lifestyles.
Property should always be viewed as a long term investment. There are short term rises and falls in property values but over the long term, property has always performed well as an investment with average values doubling every eight years over the last 50 years. To ensure your property investment is as good as it can be, it is important to buy the right kind of property.
