Dear Property Secrets member
We’ve had lots of feedback and further questions on Martin’s latest article on the UK property investment market. There is little argument that now is a great time to invest.....but the devil is in the detail. Understanding the numbers – current rental yields, finding tenanted properties where possible and long-term capital growth potential in strong economic locations– are crucial.
Here’s a snippet from the article: "...I would strongly advise against anyone trying to call the bottom of the UK market. Focus instead on the numbers right now and see if they make good investment sense. We at PS have stressed this repeatedly and it still applies - probably more so than ever. We, too, think 2009 will probably see the market bottom out and then jog along flat for a fair while - but we are definitely not sourcing with that in mind. In the long term, whether the bottom of the market is this year or early next, won't matter a great deal, if at all.
Prices have fallen and, in some locations, by a considerable amount. That isn't the point, though - what matters is the yield. Yield is quite simply key in an uncertain market because it enables the investor to hold long term. And for a chance of strong capital growth, long term is the order of the day in the UK."
