Residential Property Investment
Why invest in UK residential property?
The UK residential property market is one of the most popular for investment opportunities in the world, due to the huge demand and undersupply of suitable accommodation across the country, investors are able to achieve yields in excess of 6% in the most profitable locations. It is estimated that out of the 23.5 million households in the UK, over one third are occupied by renters.
With property prices doubling on average in the UK every 10-years, investing in residential property in hubs like Manchester and other major UK regions is a great option for investors looking to invest for the medium to long-term, earning high returns on a monthly basis whilst their property also increases in value. For those looking to invest using a mortgage of financing, residential property offers you the opportunity to leverage your purchase, further maximising your return.
