Residential property investment guide

Over the past 20 years, the UK rental market has tripled in size, with rents forecast to rise year-on-year as more and more of the population choose to rent rather than buy.

Why invest in UK residential property?

The UK residential property market is one of the most popular investment markets in the world, due to the huge demand and undersupply of suitable accommodation across the country, investors can achieve yields in excess of 6% in the most profitable locations. It is estimated that out of the 23.5 million households in the UK, over one-third are occupied by renters.

With property prices doubling on average in the UK every 10 years, investing in residential property is a great option for investors looking to invest for the medium to long term, earning high returns every month whilst their property also increases in value. For those looking to invest using mortgage financing, residential property offers you the opportunity to leverage your purchase, further maximising your return.
