Whilst the UK might have looked less than favourable as an investment opportunity at the beginning of the year, it's now been 3 months or so since Brexit happened, and many are now predicting that the market is looking a lot more tempting to would-be investors, particularly when it comes to property.
Now is the time to invest in the UK housing market
Whether you're a global property management business, an individual looking to work/live in the UK, or a global SME looking to buy property as a long or short-term investment, the market is showing many positive signs of recovery.
Key data confirms that house prices are at a high, undersupply is driving demand particularly in the rental market, rental returns are rising and the scope of planned regeneration in cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, is increasing leading to jobs, new business opportunities, etc. All of this is positive news for global enterprises looking to invest in the UK's property portfolio.
We have a rapidly expanding population which is set to fuel the rise of the housing market
Add into the equation, the fact that the UK's population is forecast to reach 74 million people in the next 20 years (according to the Office for National Statistics), there are many positive signs that the demand and need for good quality, affordable housing is set to increase, not decrease.
Property remains a stable opportunity
Despite the recent challenges presented by COVID-19 and the impact of Brexit, the UK property market has shown great resilience and remains a stable investment opportunity going forwards.
A recent global survey (Seven Capital, UK Property Investment Company) revealed that 85% of respondents who invested in property, were confident, despite the economic/political uncertainty, that the industry would stabilise to an above market average.
