1. Investment Property – What You Should Know

2. An investment property is a real estate property purchased
with the intention of earning a return from the
investment either through rental income, future resale of the
property, or both.

3. Investing into property is a great way to create an extra income in order to pay off your mortgage,
afford your dream car or go on that dream holiday you’ve always wanted.
Look at any newspaper or magazine rich-list and you’ll see a significant list of people that have
made their money through property investment.
Why You Should be Investing

4. The most popular residential investment methods is through the buy-to-let market. Investors will
purchase a property and rent it out to tenants and see a return from the investment through rent.
The introduction of the buy-to-let mortgage in the mid-nineties triggered a wave of investors who
saw UK property as an untapped pool of potential investment returns.

5. Things Have Changed
Residential investment property was the
number one returning asset class for the best
part of two decades!
This is no longer the case as profit-killing
legislation has made the residential
investment market much less profitable and
therefore less attractive to many investors.

6. Residential property values have increased significantly over the last 3 to 5 years while rental
income has failed to keep up, resulting in lower income yields and lower overall return on capital
invested.

7. The government also introduced Stamp Duty on
second residential properties, and this is now a
significant investment cost.
The landlord is also responsible for
maintenance and repair costs, meaning it is
vital to find good, respectful tenants

8. The Move to Commercial Property
Whilst most investors primarily considered residential investment properties, in recent years, new,
commercial property investment opportunities have become available.
These include:

• Student Accommodation Investments
• Care Home Room Investments

9. Commercial Property Investment
“Commercial Property investment refers to investment into buildings or land with intention to
generate a profit, either from rental income or capital gain”

10. Commercial property investment is fully-managed so you don’t have to worry about maintenance or
repair costs like you would have with residential property. You can receive your return without
lifting a finger.
Unlike residential property investment you also don’t have to pay Stamp Duty when investing in
commercial investment property.

11. The best reason to invest in commercial property over residential is
down to the returns. Commercial properties generate 6% to 12% return
whereas residential returns are much lower at 1% to 4% return.
