Why Property?
Since 1956 the compounded average annual increase in house prices has been 8.5%. To put this into perspective, a house bought in London 50 years ago for £1000 would today be worth more than £1 million.
Inflation in the last 50 years has been 1,689%. The stock market has grown by 2,700%, but UK house prices have zoomed ahead by 22,000%.
Demand for new housing is outstripping supply and there's a current shortage of homes through many global markets. With the global population expected to rise by 10% by 2030 and council restrictions on new developments, there's no way the supply can meet the demand.
A recent UK Housing Figures Study says the average house price is expected to grow from £164,288 to £280,643 by 2020.
With escalating house prices pushing buyers out of the market and increasing numbers of singles and families looking to rent, the private rental market is expected to grow by 30% by 2015.
Rents have risen on average by 13% per year since 1962, says the Office of National Statistics.
More millionaires have been made from the property market than through any other investment vehicle.
Funding is readily available for property investment (unlike stocks and shares) meaning you take full advantage of leverage to increase the return on your own funds - maximum return, minimum investment. In addition, unlike pensions, you can release equity as and when required.
Property investment is an excellent means of creating your financial freedom for you retirement.
The property market will continue to grow and now is the time to lock in your profits as a property investor.
Why New Build?
Brand new property is often easier to let and attracts the right kind of tenant.
10 year NHBC insurance means reduced maintenance.
Maximum funding can be easier to obtain on new-build properties which can increase the gearing potential of an investment.
The discounts negotiated on pre-release new build developments means you're buying below market value which acts as a buffer against any downturn in values.
Discounted new-build property can reduce the risk and maximize the returns.
With build times between 6-24 months usually you benefit from the capital growth on the total value, with only a small deposit down ... and without having to fund the loan in most cases.
You have the option to sell the property prior to completion creating a short term flip strategy with a good return on your investment in many cases.
Buy brand new, high quality property in emerging and established property markets. Due to the high level facilities included on many resorts today, their rental potential can be much greater than older less facilitated developments.
