Property Investment Update

A little known fact about the nation's favourite Timelord is that he always has the problem of fuelling the Tardis. Flying through Time and Space is very difficult and the Tardis, being quite old now, gets only a few centuries to the gallon.

Therefore the Doctor is always forking out lots of cash to purchase highly expensive fuel (Alastair Darling adds a 6000% duty on Tardis fuel) and therefore he has to rely on his investments to see him through.

THE DOCTOR'S SOLUTION:

As we all know the Doctor never appears bothered by money. The reason being is that a Timelord has the advantage over us mere mortals of never having to regret a missed opportunity as he can always pop back in time to rectify his mistake. Therefore we believe that under various names, he owns most of Manhattan, Mayfair, Tokyo and has the patent on the Alphabet. (Every syllable ever spoken or written earns him a penny so he is not doing too badly).

VERY AMUSING BUT WHY AM I READING THIS?

The point is unless your passport lists your place of birth as Gallifrey then we can only rue our missed opportunities and cannot go back and correct them.

The art of the true investor is to recognise when it is the best time to buy and when it is the best time to sell. A paradoxical problem is that everyone wants these to be at the same time. The security of the herd means we want to see everyone else doing "it" before we do. Property is no exception. Therefore what we all end up doing is buying in the good times (buy high) and trying to sell in the good times (sell higher).

 The point of this newsletter is that the best returns and the most successful investors do things differently. They want to buy in the bad times (buy low) and sell in the good times (sell high). This is obviously better but in truth a strategy that only a few ever implement.

Whilst some are using the current market conditions as a chance to say from their investor owned rented properties " I was right", (also privately praying "please don't sell up and make me homeless!") most people are waiting with the herd for the "good times" to return before they start investing again. However more switched on investors are profiting from this truly fantastic buyer's market.

Think back to 1993, 1974 or the crash in the 1920's. If given the chance we would all go back and purchase property as we know what happens with prices. Everyone of "the time" would think you mad for buying property having witnessed recent events. The truth is some of the biggest fortunes amassed in recent history have been when investors have taken the chance of buying something nobody wanted (buy low) and then waiting until it was popular again (sell high).

THERE IS ONLY A SHORT WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY.

We feel that the deals being offered in this current market are unlikely to be repeated. In our opinion there is only a short window of opportunity before we return to a slightly more relaxed lending situation and therefore the pent up demand to buy property will push prices back up toward the prices seen previously.

We readily admit that all investment comes with risk and that property is no different. The idea that property has reached its all time peak in 2008 and will fall in value for ever is not realistic. Everyone is agreed that property will increase in the long term as people will always need a place to live. Therefore an investor should always look to buy in a buyer's market as it is the first step on the road to great returns.

If you want to add 2008 to another missed opportunity then the good news is that you do not have to do anything. If you want to steal a march on the market call us on the number below and you can discuss with an investment advisor how you can start your journey to financial security.
