Now is an Ideal time for Property Investors

Now is an ideal time for property investors

According to the latest research from RICs , the national picture for the property market is one summarised by declining property sales and lower low levels of transactions overall. Compared to the Pre- Crash property market of 2008, we are at much lower levels of activity. As property investors, this is an ideal time because it will we easier to secure new properties for our portfolios at competitive or realistic prices. In a buoyant property market, everyone including property investors is under pressure to pay more for properties. Given that this is great time for property acquisition, I have three tips for you to ensure that you are able to build your portfolio successfully.

Think Local

While the national picture is important it may not be an accurate reflection of your local market. There are always regions that are doing well. Get to know your local market in detail. Where are your preferred roads to purchase on? Which side of the street is your preference? What are likely to be the most significant impacts on local amenities and infrastructure in the next ten years?

Be Ready to Move Quickly

Ensure that you have your finance in place in writing before viewing potential investment properties. Remember in many areas sales are taking longer than they used to; typically this is over 100 days in London, so any vendor will appreciate you being able to move quickly.

Power Team

Forewarn your power team and begin to plan a full schedule of works so that when your purchase is confirmed you will be able to hit the ground running. Regular communication is key. Hire a project manager or Quantity Surveyor to manage your refurbishment projects.

If you act on these tips you will be better placed to build your portfolio.
