UK Property Investment As A High Capital Growth.
Buy to Let has become an extremely popular way to invest in the UK Property Investment market, and the attraction has been obvious - low interest rates, high capital growth and a strong rental market. Increasing numbers of people are deciding to use their savings, or the equity in their primary residency to purchase a second property - usually a flat or a small house - with the aim of renting it out ie buy to let. The rental income is meant to cover the cost of the mortgage/agent costs and wear & tear and can even leave a residual income, with capital gains (i.e. house price increases) producing the profit over the longer term. For greatest benefit this is a medium to long term investment, as in the short term the selling/buying costs can outweigh any capital growth.
