ASSURED PROPERTY PORTFOLIO FOR THE SAFE INVESTOR
Investing in a trustworthy, stable, longstanding market
Scottish Market
One of the key benefits of investing in the Scottish market is the relative stability offered in comparison with other parts of the UK. While unpredictable London prices have risen by 63% over the last 10 years, Scotland's modest growth has been far more controlled reducing the risk of a crash. The nation's worldwide appeal as a tourist destination combined with reasonable affordability makes the Scottish market a safe option for the savvy investor.
Property Trends
Two separate studies by Savills and RCIS both highlight that the Scottish property market is bucking the trend of the rest of the UK. Projected figures indicate a 17% increase in prices by 2022 in stark contrast to just 7.1% in London and a 14.2% UK average. The current political and economic uncertainty has barely affected the Scottish market, where both overseas and UK based investors continue to be attracted by the sector's capacity for further growth.
Market Comparison
We have compared the three most common markets looking at pros and cons. While shares have the potential of high returns, they are a high-risk strategy due to the potential of a fall in value. Rental property is a safer option, however, the high initial outlay and changes to the tax system have made this less attractive in recent years. Fully managed fractional ownership offers assured yields for a relatively low initial investment and is currently the most popular option.
Rental Returns
Investment in Scottish property is at an all-time high, exceeding £2 billion in 2018 with no sign of slowing down. Concerns around Brexit have had little impact on investor demand, especially in the leisure property sector where rental yields of 7-12% are regularly achieved
Our clients have witnessed increased portfolio performance, primarily due to higher yield figures relative to London and other key English regions. The demand for quality Scottish investment opportunities continues to gather momentum as both UK and overseas investors look to invest in this world-renowned tourist destination.
