Local growth/Rental yields On the back of the growth for rental accommodation, specially tailored legal services are becoming important in the rental market. The market in rental properties is especially buoyant around major conurbations such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow. In these cities, many international business visitors are consistently in need of high quality homes for short-to-medium term lets. Capital appreciation The UK property market has enjoyed exceptional capital growth of between 20%-30% per annum. Government projections show an increase of households of up to 14% by 2021, whereas Halifax predict a housing shortfall of at least 400,000 by that date. Whilst the number of households has increased by almost 50 per cent over the last 40 years, the number of people in the average UK household is reducing. Property Investment provides the prospect of withdrawing tax-free lump sum, thus offering the potential of releasing funds for future investment purposes. Without doubt, UK property offers strong capital growth potential and can be passed on in perpetuity. Low confidence in stocks and pensions Property has outperformed the FTSE Share Index by up to 40% during the last 12 months. The property market has consistently outperformed stocks and share. Property has become a recognised alternative subsidy to underperforming private pensions. Ownership Home ownership throughout the UK is firmly established. Not only is it the most desirable way of housing oneself and one's family, it's also a long-term financial investment. Like what you read? Digg it. Tag it. Share it.
