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.

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!!

Average monthly rent in the UK now stands at over £1,000 for the first time.

According to a leading web based property blog aboutproperty.co.uk the leading cause was the mortage rate increases in the private rented sector where average rents rose four per cent in the first quarter of 2008, new figures from buy-to-let specialist Paragon show.

Over the last six months rents rose 12 per cent to an annual figure of £12,041.

The rising rents put further pressure on first-time buyers locked out of the mortgage market by the credit crunch until they can raise sizable deposits.

A third of landlords now report tenant demand is expanding rapidly – the highest level in nearly four years – as first-time buyers delay stepping onto the property ladder.

Some 58 per cent of landlords said demand was stable and strong.

Rising rents have masked the effects of falling house prices for landlords – with yields remaining stable at 6.3 per cent for the third consecutive month.

Still centred on the capital, Cape Town, the South African property market is likely to expand when the country hosts the Fifa Football World Cup: South Africa 2010.

Average property prices are still reasonably low, but are sure to rise - making quick action necessary.

With the latest interest rate rise,the South African reserve bank has taken an opposite tack to the one taken by the Bank
of England’s monetary policy committee. By increasing the interest rate to rates not seen for many years in an attempt to hold back the oil
induced inflation, South Africa’s Tito Mboweni is showing the steadfast commitment to a stable and low inflation based economy.

The South African market, although affected by the international US inspired market slump has been well prepared with their introduction of the FICA financial credit act almost a year ago. This had the immediate effect of cooling of the overheated South African economy and acted as a buffer so the US slump did not have as an immediate an effect as it did in the UK, the US and EU.

The locals might not think so but for investors this has a two fold benefit, lower house prices and better long term investment potential when the FIFA world cup comes around and by to let schemes really kick on for the short term haul.

Hundreds of British investors who have sold property in Spain in the recent past could be due a rebate after they were charged undue capital gains tax (CGT).

Those who sold property in the Iberian nation between March 2004 and December 2006 could be in line for a share of a £37 million rebate, after an error in the country’s tax code was discovered.

However, under European Community Treaty rules on discrimination the discrepancy in tax rates is illegal.
As such Brits were charged an additional £37 million, around £11,000 per sale – to which they are now entitled a rebate.
“This tax trap is thought to have affected hundreds of thousands of people across Europe and in the UK,” said Spanish lawyer Emilio Alvarez.[1]

If you think this might have happened to you between March 2004 and December 2006  then give us a call or email we have the right expertise to help you with your international property requirements.
