Buy and let in the right London areas

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Property rents are now increasing up to 7,5% in one month alone. In other words, the yield investors are seeing on their initial investment is growing as the demand for rental properties grows.

The reason for this is simple. Those who wanted to get on the property market (i.e. first time buyers) are unable to do so and remain in their rental properties until they can buy. This creates fewer properties on the rental market available and in its own way is creating a shortage which pushes rent up.

There are some exceptions to this. For example, the Docklands, which for many years have been saturated with rental properties. This is because docklands is having its worst sales and lettings in many many years. The reason for this is that the owner occupier v tenants ratio is 25% to 75%.

In other areas such as Isling ton and West London, the lettings market is booming and tenants have been known to literally get into fisticuffs with each competing tenant fighting for the properties.

Building a rental portfolio – What is a good time to be in property?

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

The whole world is tightening its belt. In the UK, the Nationwide Building Society reported that the average house price fell by 2.5% in May and 0.9% in June 2008.

Although this is enough to make most people worried, the reality is that house prices are 4% higher than in 2006. The fact is that anyone building a rental portfolio will do well in these times. So next time you are at a dinner party and someone mentions the falling percentages to you, maybe you can hit them with the good news.

However this does not touch on the fact that the rents are increasing and this is exactly what we are propagating. If you bought a property today you will see a decrease in value over the next few months or years even. This is only a problem should you wish to resell the property whilst the market is on a down turn. Our suggestion is to keep your properties as rents are now increasing up to 7,5% in one month alone. This means that the yield investors are seeing on their initial investment is growing along with the demand for rental properties.

The industry is changing, the needs are changing!

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

I have been in charge of Business Development for chase Devonshire for years now. Property management never has been an easy service to sell, but we can feel the needs changing.

Before, agents wanted us to buy their management and just take it away from their office. Now, it seems that it is more about buying our service.

It is a major nuance and in fact it changes the way business is approaching the market these days, from professional property brokers to small to medium sized property shops we can help you to get the most in a volatile market.

Precisely because Chase Devonshire has the pulse of the UK property we are well positioned to take you through this little bumpy market correction through to the smooth calmer safe waters on the other side, for more good advice contact Chase Devonshire directly by phone on 0207 740 1770 or by email on info@chasedevonshire.com.

I can come to see you in and chat about your needs and how we may best serve you. Together we will make a difference, we can change the future by working together to maximise your investments.

Should you buy to let now due to the low cost?

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Property prices are going down would not want to ask our investor to buy right now due to the low cost.  We think differently.

It is of our opinion that investment is good at the moment. This is because if you have the funds, you can pick up a property and that the actual yield has risen not due to the cost of the properties, but because rents have actually gone up!!
