Why Invest in UK Property?-

  1. TRACK RECORD – The facts below outline just how good an investment property has been in the UK over the last 50 Years.
  2. FINANCIAL GEARING – Property enables you to use other people’s money to maximise your profits with less outlay.
  3. TAXATION BENEFITS – Profit made from equity release is free of capital gains tax.

The Facts:

People will always speculate but the facts speak for themselves.

  1. Since 1948 property in the UK has risen on average 11.3% year on year
  2. Since 1962 the office of national statistics have recorded that rents have risen on average by 13% per annum.
  3. On average, UK property prices more than double every decade.
  4. Over the last fifty years, UK property has only gone down twice in real terms – 1971-73 & 1989-92. Five years out of fifty!
  5. Since 1956 the compounded average annual increase in house prices has been 8.5%. To put that into perspective, a house bought 50 years ago for £1000 would today be worth more than £1 million.
  6. Inflation in the last fifty years has been 1689%. The Stock Market has grown by 2700%, UK House Prices however have increased by a staggering 22000%
  7. FACT – More millionaires have been made from the Property Market than by any other Investment Vehicle.

The things that the media don’t tell you:

  • The newly established National Housing & Planning Advice Unit estimates that by 2026 house hunters will be faced with average prices of 10 times their annual salary. (Currently around 8 times)
  • A report compiled by Oxford Economic Forecasting in July 2006 for the National Housing Federation, shows projections of the average house price rising to £286500 in 2011 – a rise of about 50%. Another recent study suggests an average price of £300643 by 2020.
