WHY YOU CAN TRUST UK PROPERTY

THE RISE OF REGIONAL CITIES

It is a globally respected asset class, supported by trusted legal framework land registry.

Sparked by the Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Engine schemes, we are seeing strong regeneration and infrastructure investments that are resulting in sustained growth in both property and rental values across Birmingham and northern England.

For generations property ownership has formed a central part of UK culture, while investors from across the globe have looked to UK property for strong income and long term growth. Offering significant returns when other markets are not performing, while robust in periods of uncertainty.

Employers are settling in the regional cities, migrating operations in part or in full from the capital, and providing young professionals with an attractive option of opportunity, lower cost of living and stronger work life balance for buyers and tenants.

In 2021 the UK Property outlook looks very healthy, as changing appetite and growing demand are creating pockets of opportunity that outstrip the already positive national forecasts.

CITY LIVING

There is an under supply of housing with England needing 345,000 new homes built per year.

UK property prices are forecast to increase by 15.1% between 2020 and 2025, according to Savills.

UK property performance is of increasing national importance to the UK government.

Interest rates are set to remain at record lows.

Banks and mortgages are offering more choice helping more & more owners and investors to enter the market.

This movement of investment and industry to the regional cities meets a cultural shift amongst the UKs young professionals, often referred to as “generation rent”, of whom many are not marrying or having families till much later and instead favouring life in the city. Opting instead to buy, or more often rent, high end well located properties with the amenities and locality to afford them this city living lifestyle.
