UK property is high on the radar for investors seeking to take advantage of economic uncertainty. A recent survey from Investec shows that more than three-quarters (77%) of wealthy individuals (those with an average income exceeding £510,000) are keen to boost their property investments by an average additional £380,000.
Leveraging Opportunity
Taking a confident outlook towards future house prices and interest rates, 11% of these high-earning investors are keen to up their investment by £500,0000 or more. The survey took findings from a range of corporate executives, finance professionals and entrepreneurs, the majority of whom remain positive about the sector.
These findings demonstrate the resilience of the property market and the understanding that current economic instability brings a raft of opportunities for savvy investors.
Now is the prime time to increase exposure to UK property and leverage opportunities for future gains. The survey identifies another emerging trend where investors are leveraging other assets as part of the bigger opportunity, with 58 per cent saying they had borrowed against their investment portfolio.
Just 14 per cent of those surveyed wanted to reduce their exposure, six per cent to make no changes and three per cent to dispose of their investments.
Finding the Right Location
Property investment opportunities are going from strength to strength across the UK. In Manchester, investors have achieved 65% growth in eight years mainly due to significant investment into regeneration and redevelopment across the city.
Property investment is also expected to rise significantly in Scotland. Among a raft of economic uncertainty with the resignation of the First Minister and the upcoming elections, investors can take advantage of opportunities linked to increasing house supply and rental growth.
While location is key when it comes to assessing the viability of property investment opportunities, the alternatives route also represents a strong approach.
Diversification and Stable Markets
Alternative investments are an effective way to diversify your portfolio and achieve specific goals or risk tolerances in niche sections of the property market. Thanks to the historic reliability of the UK’s property market and the range of exit strategies available to the property developers, investors can rest assured that they can explore the exciting potential of alternative property investments within a safe, secure framework.
These low-maintenance, hands-off style investments offer good potential for strong returns. With the choice of fixed, regular income returns or capital growth, investors can choose the route that feels most comfortable for them and fits with specific financial goals. Fixed returns allow investors to benefit from a steady stream of passive income while both routes offer an investment that is professionally managed for a streamlined, fuss-free experience.
