Renovating Your Property? Here's Some Tips When It Comes To Finance
Financing your property renovation isn’t as simple as one may first think. In a UK housing market that looks like it has just narrowly avoided a slump due to Brexit, many homeowners are turning to property renovations and extensions to create the lifestyle rather than buy it. This isn’t limited to home ownership either, dilapidated properties are being snapped up at record prices and in record numbers as property investors and landlords look to make a bigger buck on their investment. Property Auctioneers Eddisons, said that last year (2015) over £100 million of property was sold through their auction house with a massive 80% sold on day one. However, Allsop outweighed all of the competition by selling over £800 million worth of property last year, with £445 million on residential property in the UK.
Buy Low Sell High
As with any property deal, the idea is to get the purchase at the lowest possible price and then where possible improve the property to suit your taste and style. You should also look to add value just incase somewhere down the line you want to sell the property should your lifestyle change. Seasoned property investors will already know the value of buy low sell high and that’s why the UK property market is clearly supporting the UK economy. Private residential property sales is a multi-billion pound industry annually.
