Polaris World have also begun a key ready program and here at Ice Cubed we have just launched our Ice Cubed Re-Sales division that will offer key ready properties from the developer and re-sales from our existing client base. Interestingly, the Spanish Green party are launching a campaign encouraging people to buy built properties to reduce the demand for new build properties. We are happy to talk to you and determine whether off-plan or key ready would suit you better.
TLR – I hear that it is not a good time to invest in the UK?
TF – It is true that the huge growth of the last few years has slowed down this year, however I personally still think the UK is one of the best - if not the best - property investment markets, providing you understand what you are buying into. Investing in the UK is a medium to long
term investment and you should be prepared to look to a 5 year plan when purchasing. Mortgage Express have just released a report claiming that in the next 5 years the UK average house price will rise by 40%. We are also experiencing a period where rental returns will not always cover mortgage costs. This is not necessarily a problem providing you budget accordingly. My last 2 buy-to-let purchases require around £100 to be added to the rent to cover the mortgage, but I am happy that capital growth over the next 5 years will more than compensate for this.
TLR – What’s the best way for our readers to get in touch with you?
