Reasons to invest in property
Investing in property can be an excellent way to bring in some extra income. There are two main approaches to this type of investment:
- Investing in a property to potentially resell it quickly for a profit (possibly following a refurbishment) and/or
- Investing in a buy to let property for a long-term growth of income and capital value.
When looking at the long term option, there are two main types of return. Firstly, there is the likelihood that property values will increase over time; due to improving market conditions, improvements made by the owner and the owner increasing equity by making mortgage payments. Secondly, through renting the property to tenants, the owner has the potential to receive rental payments that exceed the monthly expenses, thereby realising a positive cash flow.
Why invest in the Exeter property market
Student Accommodation
Student accommodation is one of the most popular and highest yielding asset classes in the UK. The Victorian terraced houses of Exeter within close proximity to the ever growing University tend to be well suited to Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMO’s) and student living.
Shared Accommodation
There is a large market in Exeter to let rooms to working individuals in HMO’s, particularly those seeking work in and around the city centre and the business parks to the outskirts.
Refurbishments
As with all cities, Exeter has its fair share of properties in need of refurbishment. Undertaking such a task will present lower purchase costs and increase equity margins.
