Where is the best place to invest in property?

When people ask me “where is the best place to invest in property?” they often expect the answer to be a straightforward one. It can be an easy question to answer, but first of all it is essential to establish the objectives of the investment – what works for one person might not be right for someone else.

Work out your investment strategy

As with any investment, when you look to put your money into property there are many options open to you. The property market is vast and the opportunities are endless. So, how can you work out which is the right one for you?

Ask yourself some questions to work out what you need from your investment:

• Are you looking to make the maximum return possible from your investment?
• Are you happy to risk your money or is security more important than the return?
• How long are you looking to invest your money for?

When you have answered these questions you will be in a better position to understand what sort of investment property is suitable for you and therefore where best to focus your investment search. It may be that you are looking to maximise your return on investment and are willing to take a risk with your money in order to do so. On the other hand, you may be more risk averse and keeping your money secure might be the most important thing, in which case you might need to accept a lower yield.

Once you have worked out what you want from your investment you will be in a position to focus in on the location where you can find it. If you need more help getting going on your investment search then get in touch for a free initial meeting.
