Which Type of UK Property is the Best for Investors? The Views from Overseas Nationals and UK Expats Who are Planning to Invest in the UK.
Lancashir,UK (PRWEB UK) 31 March 2015 -- Find UK Property conducts regular surveys on non UK residents who are looking to buy or have purchased property in the UK. In a recent survey conducted in February 2015, the company asked such investors their views on the best type of UK property for investment purposes. They were asked to select from a range of different types of properties and were asked to indicate which of these types would be the best for investment.
The results of the survey are shown below and indicate the percentage of investors regarding each investment as the best type of property investment in UK property
Low Cost Houses outside London: 38%
Prime Property in and near London: 29%
Commercial Property: 7%
Standard Apartments: 7%
Serviced Apartments/Hotel Rooms: 5%
Student Accommodation/Pods: 4%
Other types of property: 10%
Andy Noble, Senior Marketing Consultant at Find UK Property said “Investors from overseas are now more knowledgeable about rental yields and understand that prices in London have risen to very high levels such that rental yields as a percentage of the property price are now very low. “
He added “Thus, for the same budget, it makes sense to buy multiple low cost properties outside London rather than one expensive property in London. Such purchases would give better overall rental yields, provide higher future capital growth and deliver more long term flexibility as some properties could be sold in the future whilst others kept.”
