LandlordZONE Newsletter - August / September 2009
Things have been looking up recently, with a record re-bound on the stock
market and increased property sales, but can this be sustained?
A lack of availability of mortgage finance
at a reasonable price and the prospect of a long, slow recovery, with
unemployment likely to go on rising for some time yet, says not.
All this brings the possibility of another
dip in property prices when eventually the fiscal stimulus is phased-out and
tax rises / savage cuts start to bite.
It appears, though, we’ve averted total
disaster and at some point in the not too distant future, prices will bottom
out and the only way will be up—even if it is a long, slow climb.
In property there is no tomorrow—you must
think 5 to 10 years at least.
There are many positives for the UK
residential property market over the coming years, so landlords should hold
on if they can, focusing on good tenancy management and income.
Any new investments should be made very
selectively assessing property types, locations and initial yields—recent
auctions have seen ASTs going on yields of nearly 11%
This week we have introduced a rather
unusual Topic for the LandlordZONE Newsletter—Immigration Visas and
investments in the USA.
For those with the cash resources, now, or
very soon, could be the perfect time to invest in that property or business
in the sun.
Despite the weakness in the Pound, some US
property investments are looking exceptionally cheap.
For example, at a recent auction in St.
Augustine Florida (the oldest town and one of the most beautiful and
affluent in the USA) building plots in a residential area (200 yards from
the sand) went for £25,000 each.
The median price for a typical (3-bed, 2
bathroom, yard and garage) home in Florida today is less than £100,000
But foreign investments need great care:
you must visit and do due diligence yourself, you need sound advice from
trustworthy locals and you need sound legal advice to establish good title.
