UK property market – investment advantage

With the announcement that property prices in the U.K. will fall by approximately 30% in 2009, this is a great opportunity for investors to purchase property at bargain prices with a view to renting the property to contribute to repayments. Historically property prices have always rallied and the long terms investor is safe in the knowledge that his investment is still in the financial capital of the world.

Property has undoubtedly been the cornerstone of wealth-accumulation for many people. More than ever before, success in this sector requires professional advise. Feod Group is ideally poised to assist investors source and identify excellent property investment opportunities in London and other parts of UK. Feod Group have established strategic alliances with foreign based associates with local knowledge and expertise to assist in sourcing only the best value options for our client base.

Although U.K rents have fallen somewhat, the demand for lettings remains strong. House prices may be down by as much as 20 or 25 per cent in London, and some people have lost money on the stock market; but the sudden fall in the pound, on top of the fall in value, makes UK property look very attractive to foreign investors, since it provides both rental income and likely capital growth. The U.K. housing stock is not increasing, but the population is. It doesn’t take an economic genius to see where prices are likely to go in the long term.

In the current market there are two types of areas which will resist price drops: the super-prime, such as London’s Chelsea or Kensington which will always be popular and attract foreign buyers immune to the credit crunch, and places which are experiencing change or receiving investment.

It is an excellent opportunity for people invest and see their property investment increase in value when the market improves, which it will.

Feod Group will be happy to offer you full range of properties in UK and additional services, keeping all deals confidential and an individual approach to each client.
