Present Property Slowdown: Importance Of Investing

By Rick Otton


Since the great mortgage crisis of 2008, the common view of the property market is as something of a shambles, without real initiative to move forward, and nothing happening in terms of sales. There have been so many reports that UK property investment has hit a grave lull, coming in all of a sudden after the seller's market of the first half of the decade. It is nevertheless a fact that the many estate agents UK firms have shed are now working in the property rental business. When purchasing houses is yet low down on the market, it is clear that renting out properties still has a great deal of mileage.

The slowdown has had a drastic impact upon the way in which bankers choose to lend money to people looking to invest in property. For estate agents, UK banks are finding it difficult to give the loan to first-time buyers. Meanwhile, it is expected that the government will begin pressing financial institutions to come up with mortgage products that can be utilized by these first time buyers, and also to make sure that builders of new homes do not have a hard time discovering investments.

When the banks are still holding on to the money, however, the current housing situation is expected to continue in limiting house availability, and cause demand to increase.

When it is clear that there is not going to be a sudden recovery from the financial troubles of recent years, it is also a fact that the UK economy's growth has not cut down on the number of people who want to own a property. New owners are coming up into the market from every corner of the UK, and for this reason UK property investment is still a valid choice. Some large-scale clients are presently asking their agents to find specific properties for them, looking for ways to get further in the property market.

Because of this, there is no reason that you should be anxious about making investments in the present UK property market. The rental market is still holding quite strong, and it is likely that rental properties in London will proceed to exact huge monthly payments. Few investors are even looking into the North to be the next place to begin seeking for rental properties, with few areas of North Yorkshire now vying with London when it comes to the price of homes. Smart investors will understand that the current market promises great profits in the form of monthly rent, and they could still sell the property once the UK property market starts to grow again.
