Experience Invest: Off-plan property investment
06:04Experience Invest talks about Off-plan property investment
UK property has long been an attractive market for international investors seeking out lucrative assets and opportunities on the global stage. For those planning to invest in British real estate in 2019, some of the strongest prospects can be found in the luxury sector. High-end property features and amenities give landlords greater scope to maximise their yields through higher rents, which could prove particularly valuable in areas where demand for desirable accommodation is high.
Appealing to the luxury market – whether it’s through a property’s location, exterior look or interior design touches – will always be a powerful advantage for buy-to-let investors keen to secure the best possible returns from their assets. Tenants are often willing to pay a premium for desirable features and unique add-ons that might not be available in other properties.
Approximately 300 properties sold for more than £10 million each in the tax year to April 2017, the latest period for which figures are available. This marked an increase from 100 in the preceding 12-month period, the Guardian reported. This is the absolute top end of the market, of course, but it illustrates how luxury housing in the UK is viewed as a strong investment, particularly for wealthy international buyers.
Regional prospects
Nationwide property market trends have suggested that London is going through a period of stagnation, particularly in terms of price growth, while other regions are showing much stronger performance. For international investors, who might not be as affected by Britain’s current political and economic uncertainty as domestic buyers, now could be the perfect time to realise the potential of luxury property in regional areas. Locations such as Liverpool and Manchester offer the twin benefits of average prices that are considerably lower than those in London and clear scope for ongoing capital growth.The enduring appeal of UK property
Whatever the future holds for the UK economy after the country leaves the European Union, there is a strong likelihood that property owners and buy-to-let landlords will continue to see healthy returns on their investments. Indeed, any economic troubles the UK does experience in the wake of Brexit could translate into opportunities for international investors. Furthermore, the current weakness of sterling on currency markets – and the possibility this will continue after Brexit – means overseas buyers get more for their money in the UK.
