Types of Property Investments

There are several different types of property investments. Depending on the size of your investment, your plans for the future and other factors.

Main Home – of course, the most obvious reason for investing in property is to live in it yourself. At Stacks, we specialise in finding the perfect property for our clients – particularly prestigious properties with an element of luxury. If this is something you are interested in, please contact us.

Second Home / Holiday Home – Many of our clients like to invest in a second home. This could be for work purposes or to visit family and friends. When investing in a holiday home or second home, there are several aspects you should take into consideration to ensure the safety and security of the property.

Student Accommodation – For those who have university-age children, investing in student accommodation is an obvious choice. If you’re planning on going ahead with this type of property investment, it is worth looking into the ownership status – there are various options which can lower your stamp duty. Take a look at our tips for investing in student accommodation here. https://www.stacks.co.uk/for-investors/buying-student-children-investing-student-accommodation/

Rental Accommodation – If you can invest in a property to rent out, then this can be a great option. It’s worth considering the area you want your property in and the type of landlord you want to be. There are agencies that can take care of the finer details if that’s what you would prefer. At Stacks, we can help you to find properties for rental investments. We can talk you through all the options open to you and the details that you might want to consider for this type of property investment.  

Commercial Property – Some of our clients choose to invest in a building used for a business. This can be a great option to further grow your investment – especially if the building is already home to a business and they plan on staying there as the purchase goes through. If this is something you are interested in exploring, contact one of our regional directors. We can answer any questions you may have and scour the market for your perfect investment.

Land – We often work with clients who are looking for land to invest in. There is something very rewarding and special about purchasing a plot of land and watching your dream home being built. This is an incredibly luxurious process but can be daunting from the very start. If you are looking for a plot of land to build your own house, then working with a property finder is imperative. Take a look here for more information and everything you need to know about finding a plot of land. https://www.stacks.co.uk/extend-renovate-or-self-build/find-your-plot/

Why Does Property Make a Good Investment?

There are several reasons why property makes a good investment. During our time in the industry, we have discovered the real reasons why you should take that step and invest in property.

Extra Income – if you’re planning on renting out your property this can generate regular income for you. This is particularly true for well-located residential or commercial properties with high demand. This is also known as passive or hands-off income, depending on how involved you want to be as a landlord, the work for this extra income is minimal.

Rising Valuations – It’s no secret that property appreciates over time with no extra input from the owners. Although there can be market fluctuations, if you’re prepared to stick with it and wait until the time is right your property should appreciate in value.

Inflation – If you’re renting your property, then you can increase your rent in line with inflation. As costs rise, so can your generated income.

Tax – As a property investor, you can benefit from various tax advantages, such as deductions for mortgage interest, property taxes, and maintenance costs.

Physical Asset – a property is a physical asset that can be used, improved and controlled by you. This provides you with a sense of security as it is yours to keep or sell when you require.

Generational Wealth – We all want to be in a position to pass our wealth down to the next generation. Property is a great way to do this. You can create opportunities for your family – potentially for generations.
