BMV Property in Property Hotspots Author: Chris Moresby Property investors have started taking interest in BMV property (Below Market Value), as this sector can result in profitable property investment deals. Almost all investors are familiar with the basics of good property investment, so are keen to purchase BMV property as it is priced below the existing market value. Thus the buyer can earn maximum profit when they sell the property at some time in the future. If buyers ignore this simple concept they will find themselves in trouble. However professional investors focus on buying Below Market Value as a part of their investment strategy. The real estate market is already experiencing a low phase with extremely low property prices. That's why finding Below Market Value deals has become extremely difficult, especially before the property market reverts back. Property often can be bought off-plan during times of high demand in the market. Thus BMV property can be a sensible option during the most in demand period, during which more customers wish to buy. BMV investment seems to work best for property developers who can gain the finance required to fund their construction program. Both investors and developers benefit from BMV property deals. Basically, developers try to collect buyers' deposits as quickly as possible so that they can move ahead with the progress of the project. It will help them accomplish the construction work on time and and allow them to sell the remaining properties for high profits. Then they can start working on new developments without any delay. Similarly investors can buy BMV property and subsequently gain high ROI at peak time. True Benefits of BMV Deals: - Developers offer property off-plan below market value, with pre-launch prices that can allow investors to make savings of up to 15%. These extra funds give the buyer immediate equity in the property. - The BMV investors get good ROI upon eventual sale, adding to the profit already earned from the pre-launch prices - BMV deals are great flip investments, where the investor buys off-plan and reassigns it to another contractor before completion, so that maximum possible profit can be achieved through it.

Government action needs to be taken on a number of issues before the housing market can fully recover from the effects of the recession, states one expert. David Bexon, managing director of SmartNewHomes.com, says: "There are a range of pressing issues, from the troubled mortgage finance market to an antiquated planning system and prohibitive regulations that need urgent attention." He states that while the house building sector has generally responded well to the challenges caused by the recession, the same cannot be said for the property market in general. Mr Bexon's comments come in response to recent statistics from Barratt Developments, which revealed that the price of its new-build properties has increased by four per cent in the second half of 2009 to £167,000. He goes on to add that while these figures are "encouraging", there needs to be a greater availability of new homes across the board. Nevertheless, he concludes, the statistics show that many property building companies have emerged in a stronger position from the recession. © Houseladder Ltd London Flats Rent 02/08/2010
First-time buyers in the UK need house prices to level out in the long term so that properties can become more affordable, according to one expert. Katy John, spokesperson for PricedOut.org.uk, says that high house prices "are not good for young people". She adds that rising property values should not be welcomed as a sign of the nation coming out of the recession. "Because house prices are so high, many couples are finding that even on two decent incomes they are unable to afford a property," Ms John states. Her comments come in response to recent research from housing charity Shelter, which revealed that 18 per cent of 18 to 44 year olds are putting off starting a family because of the high cost of housing. Ms John goes on to suggest that the situation in the UK has got so bad that many young couples are even moving to different countries in the hope of being to afford a property overseas. According to Rightmove, the average asking price currently stands at £222,261. © Houseladder Ltd London Flats for sale 02/08/2010
Investing in central London property could prove to be a wise choice for those hoping to see their assets perform well in the long-term, one expert states. Naomi Heaton, chief executive of London Central Portfolio, says that despite the economic downturn, properties in the capital city have fared better than other asset classes due to their "appeal and desirability". Her comments come in response to recent statistics from Primelocation.com, which reveal that prime property prices have risen by 3.8 per cent in January compared to the same month last year. Ms Heaton goes on to advise that she expects the value of homes in Britain's capital city to continue to rise. "Residential property in London central has performed very well as a long-term investment and has many drivers in play now to sustain it, not least its scarcity and the weakness of sterling," she comments. According to the most recent statistics, the average cost of a prime property in London currently stands at £450,633. © Houseladder Ltd Flats to rent London 02/08/2010
Potential landlords would be wise to make an investment in property as it is "still one of the best options", according to an expert. Tom Entwistle, editor at LandlordZONE, says that the thriving residential lettings market proves that the housing sector is a good choice for those wanting to make a future investment. However, he advises that people proceed with care: "Caution is the key to success, investing selectively in the right areas and in the right properties at the right prices." Mr Entwistle adds that terraced houses can be an advantageous investment for landlords due to their relatively inexpensive price and low maintenance costs. Furthermore, this type of property typically attracts young professionals and couples who, according to the editor, cause landlords "the least amount of trouble". A recent study by Paragon Mortgages revealed that ten per cent of British landlords hope to increase their property portfolio in the first quarter of this year. Of those who hope to expand their assets, 65 per cent are looking to purchase a terraced house. © Houseladder Ltd London Flats for sale 02/08/2010
The UK property market has not yet made a full recovery from the damage that was caused by the worldwide economic downturn, one expert has suggested. Paul Holmes, chief executive of Firstrung, says that the housing market is only halfway through the process of property prices recovering to their pre-recession levels. "The only reason house prices didn't fall further last year was all the rescues for the banks and the artificially low interest rate," he states. His comments come in response to recent statistics from moneysupermarket.com, which revealed that there are now more home loan products available to those wishing to take out a mortgage. There are now 22 per cent more 85 per cent loan-to-value deals on the market than in December 2009, while rates across all mortgage products have fallen. Mr Holmes states that he thinks some of the optimism surrounding the UK housing market coming out of the recession is "statistically negligible" because he does not class a 0.1 per cent growth as a recovery. © Houseladder Ltd London Flats 02/08/2010
House prices in the UK are unlikely to rise dramatically in the immediate future, according to one expert. Jon Brown, partner relationship manager at iammoving.com, says that while the economy is being repaired and lenders are restoring their faith in mortgage borrowers, Britons are still concerned about economic stability and job security. Furthermore, he adds that people should learn lessons from the recession and the property price peak that was seen prior to the credit crunch. "We must see that an increase in property value of this magnitude is simply not a sustainable prospect and we should not attempt to repeat it," he states. Mr Brown's comments come in response to recent data from Halifax, which revealed that house prices increased by a total of 105 per cent in the last decade. The average price of a home in the UK in the final quarter of 1999 stood at £81,596, this figure rose to £167,020 by the end of 2009. | AuthorFind London Flats ArchivesCategories |
