Financial Trends affecting Investment
Off Plan Investments has never been accused of, ‘lacking property investment vision’. However, I thought I would share with you some thoughts on how the economy could go in the future, to help you make up your own mind about investments, not just property investments.
In any investment, there are a number of things to consider:
- Type of investment – stocks, bonds, property, private businesses, savings to name but a few.
- Timing of investment – when to make the investment to maximise your return with as low a risk as achievable
- Where to invest – the areas that you believe will provide maximum return with as low a risk as achievable
- Getting a good deal (e.g. investing in something that is good value and then increases in value, whilst generating good income or returns).
There is no use investing at the wrong time in something that you paid too much for. Off Plan Investments product service gives you the advice you require to making decisions on the type and scale of property you can afford to invest in, we use market insight and a degree of foresight to predict how things could look in the longer term. Everyone has their own views and options but if you look at our track record and the type of investment property we provide for sale then you can take our word if we put our seal of approval on something it will work to your financial advantage.
UK Intrest Rates
UK rates are set to go up a bit, possibly to around 5%, but we believe with Euro-convergence of the pound and Euro over the longer term (say 5-10 years) and advances in productivity through new technology, “off-shoring” and competitiveness, will keep a lid on inflation and hence interest rates will stay relatively low for the foreseeable future. The inflationary pressures in the UK are rather benign – I would not be at all surprised if the highest inflation we see is in housing – either house prices or rental in the medium to longer term.
