There are many reasons to invest in property.
Property investments have historically outperformed other investments like stocks and shares.
Money left in bank savings accounts or bonds almost always gives returns below inflation, so the real value of savings goes down over time.
Stocks and shares can sometimes lose all their value and the returns in the form of dividends are rarely regular.
Crypto is a new form of investment but with very high risks involved.
The main point that could be classed as a risk – we would rather say it’s a very important point to consider before deciding to invest in property – is that you cannot have immediate access to the money invested if you need it (this is classed as being “illiquid”). For someone that has bought a property as an investment and then needs the money invested back in cash, it’s needed to put the property up for sale, find and agree to a price with a buyer, and start and wait for the conveyancing to complete. If it’s needed to sell urgently in a temporary property market downturn, it may not be possible to get the optimum capital growth.
In reality, the property is one of the safest areas to invest for those prepared to leave their money in the investment for several years, or indefinitely, using property investments to generate income during retirement.
Our strategy is generally to buy to hold and manage the properties for ongoing rental income, but we only recommend buying something when we know that it will also be possible to resell it when finished and still make a profit.
For each of the ways described above, each investment is always in ONE specific property for which we provide full details and figures.
