      UK Rental Yields

      Rental yields are one of the most important factors to consider when investing in property, and this guide follows the trends of rents throughout the UK during 2018. Looking at average rents for properties and rental returns, some regions outperformed the rest of the nation by staggering amounts, highlighting the hotspots for investment throughout the year. There were also some interesting comparisons made between the North and the South of the UK when it comes to rental returns on property investment, with the North soaring miles ahead with postcodes achieving rental returns as high as 11%.

      UK House Prices

      There were steep increases in house prices in the UK during 2018, highlighting the financial strength of the property investment market. Average properties were selling for over 4.4% more than the year before, but the guide circles in on one particular area of the UK where house prices fell quite significantly. This is vital information for investors looking to make a buy to let investment anytime soon, as you can be sure of what areas to avoid, and which areas to focus on. All of this helps you to get the very best capital growth on your transaction in the future.

      The Brexit Effect

      Many investors are unsure about how Brexit is affecting buy-to-let investments in the UK. As ever, Brexit is a highly contested issue, and the location of your property investment could impact on the consequences. However, the property market remains very robust. The general consensus is that despite this economic turbulence, buy-to-let remains a valuable asset class capable of producing incredible profits for investors. The 2018 guide offers some solid opinions on how house prices will continue to rise and may increase even further once a formal decision has been made.

        I have had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional customer service from RWinvest. Adam and Michelle were remarkable and were exceedingly supportive in facilitating the acquisition of two properties in Liverpool, at "The Gateway." Their guidance was instrumental in the purchase of the properties and I express my utmost satisfaction with their assistance, and I am inclined to not only endorse but also consider any property advertised by RWinvest.
