First of all, if you have an investment property, chances are you have a mortgage. In fact, you probably have two - the one from your primary residence and now the one from your secondary residence.

Read the contract! Many misunderstandings occur because the client does not take the time to go through the contract and see if they understand and agree to it in its entirety. Ask for a sample that you can highlight and scribble on, so that you can get clarification or request a change. The time you spend on this is time you'll save on clarifying and arguing later. written by RE Writer

That Britain is in the process of a property downturn is not in doubt, even in the eyes of the most blinkered. But while the impact of the credit crunch is well known and recent house price figures are clear enough evidence of what is going on, the question remains just how far this will all go. written by Karrie Rose
No matter what your plans for the property are, you'll need to first work out the costs. Figure out the monthly costs for mortgage, utilities, upkeep and maintenance. If you can maintain the house without needing it to generate income, that's great. written by Assetz UK
In recent years Cyprus has been seen as a country that has enjoyed a property boom for some very good reasons. written by Assetz UK
When the Bank of England's monetary policy committee (MPC) delivered its verdict on interest rates for this month at noon today few would have been surprised. It decided to keep the base rate at five per cent, following its vote to cut the rate last month. written by Assetz UK
For every analyst who says the Spanish property market is dead, another states that it is only slumbering. Some have suggested that the market is a busted flush for investors, with falling prices and overdevelopment meaning the good times are over after the recent boom years. written by Assetz UK
France has been an interesting case when it comes to the assessment of the property fortunes of different countries. While some markets have struggled and others remain strong due to their status as emerging markets with cheap bargains, France seems to be somewhere in the middle. written by Assetz UK
The bad press that the buy-to-let industry has had in some quarters in recent years seems never to abate; it simply shifts target. Previously, the industry was blamed for rising prices on the basis of the nation that homes being snapped up by investors could have gone to first-time buyers instead. written by Assetz UK
Cape Verde has become a land of exciting opportunity in recent years, where the economy, tourist industry and property market - not to mention its infrastructure and list of airports - have all grown. Each of these are dependent on the other, which has meant that Cape Verde news of almost any kind has been worth reading about for those investing in property. A new airport means new air routes, new air routes means more tourists and more tourists mean more customers for buy-to-let property. written by Assetz UK
Those investing in the property market will wonder what, if anything, the government can do to help people get on the property ladder. A reduction in house prices is clearly not helping, partly because the cause of it is the same factor - the credit crunch - which has made getting a mortgage harder and more expensive in the first place. written by Assetz UK
For a while home information packs have appeared to drop off the radar, following the final implementation of them as a home-seller's requirement in December for small homes. written by Assetz UK
The country across the channel seems to have been enjoying a rather healthy time of it in the property industry of late.

Where to live is an issue everybody thinks of when looking to acquire a home. Those buying somewhere to live will usually spend time researching the area they are moving into and making a judgement on a variety of criteria, be that the proximity of local transport links, the quality of schools, the demographics of the neighbourhood, aesthetic considerations or the proximity of family, to name just some issues. written by Assetz UK
With so many destinations for those buying investment property overseas being hit by the credit crunch, emerging markets are attracting plenty of attention. Cape Verde is among these, although it would be quite incorrect to suggest that it is becoming popular because of the credit crunch. written by Assetz UK
Its official: the housing market is in crisis. At least, this is the not-so private view of housing minister Caroline Flint. If she had hoped to keep her briefing to the cabinet on the subject under wraps today, she might have done better than hold her notes just where the long lenses of numerous state-of-the art cameras outside 10 Downing Street were poised as she entered. written by Assetz UK
Location, location, location may have been a well-worn phrase even before it became the name of a TV programme, but many will wonder whether this is indeed the be-all and end all for those investing in property, either as a place to live or as a place to rent out. written by Assetz UK
The overseas property market has plenty of diversity, which may be both a weakness and a strength.

These are interesting times in London for the property industry to say the least. While both the commercial property investment industry and the residential sector (both buy-to-live and buy-to-let) have been grappling with the credit crunch in recent months, the longer-term issues in London remain of concern to many. written by Assetz UK
There is supposed to be a credit crunch going on, but some parts of the world, it seems, are not getting the message. While Spain has outlined a major rescue plan in a bid to boost its property industry, the Lusophone countries seem to be attracting the big buyers. written by Assetz UK
Up until today it had not seemed to be a good week for news emanating from the Bank of England. written by Assetz UK
What is the future of international property investment? In an age when many countries have only recently opened up politically and economically, the possibilities seem far more extensive than they were a generation ago. written by Assetz UK
Cyprus has been one of the apparent success stories in overseas property investment terms in recent years, with rising prices, the economic kudos of first joining the European Union and then adopting the euro as its national currency, followed by the tantalising possibilities for the future that reunification with the Turkish north could bring. << previous page 1 2 3 next page>> |
