Many property investors asked the question why should you continue to invest in property and the simple answer is that you stand to benefit from the rise in its value when it comes to selling the property. From the income you can generate from renting to tenants and of course the utility you get from living or using the house yourself there are many benefits to buying property and the Matthew Cullum property blog will seek to explain all the benefits to be had.

Interestingly the attractiveness of buying and owning your own property in the UK is dependent on culture. In the UK and individual ownership is based on the old saying an Englishman's home is his castle and this is not the case in many other European countries are renting is far more commonplace. Countries such as Germany, France and Sweden to not have the same kind of cultural appropriations.

Some investors may prefer to invest in property rather than the stock market, buying shares and owning of alternative investments. Generating income in the form of rent is certainly a high yield and low risk way of investing. With the stock market although companies have value in their stocks and are essentially asset-backed it is not the same as owning your own property out right. The Matthew Cullum blog will provide information not only on Stocks but also on typical property investments that you can attain throughout the UK.

It's no secret that the value of land and also property in the UK has increased significantly over time. Essentially islands such as the UK have limited space and there will always be a high demand for property and land. As the population rises significantly over the next decade or so the shortage of houses will increase and naturally the prices will increase as the demand does. It also depends on your frame of reference as the market has increased by over 300% since the 1990s. Along the way of course I have been significant dips in early to thousands and also 2009 with the credit crunch. And most recently with Brexit and the pandemic the market has taken a hit in certain areas and when the stamp duty holiday ends there is expected to be a double dip recession. This will impact the property market as it always does however the market is expected to rise again following the recent recession.

This is one of the key reasons why the Matthew Cullum property blog always recommends clients to consider the property market as it is traditionally an area which rebounds significantly after recessions and is typically seen as a safe haven by long-term investors. Although some commentators will see shares as a better long-term investment there is also the ability to leverage and use the bank funding to increase your long-term returns.

Investing in the UK stock market in 1900 would have averaged and annual return of 5.5% Over the subsequent 118 years compares to properties 1.8%. However this does not factor in the ability to leverage as well as the ability to receive an income in the form of rent which would usually outweigh the income which you could attain from dividends.

The property market is currently going through a transition period, things are changing, and recent trends point to an influx of property developments and property projects being carried out in the south east of England. Matthew Cullum recently mentioned on his blog that many investors and developers are becoming increasingly fed up with the skyrocketing cost of living in the London area, coupled with rising property prices, resulting in many of the same people seeking projects and properties outside of London.

Developers are recognizing the high demand for affordable properties outside of London, yet still within a reasonable commuting distance, as many people work in the city and still need convenient access via car or train.

Matthew Cullum notes that one of the popular hot spots being targeted within the South East is Folkestone, a vibrant seaside town which is on the up, we are seeing increasingly higher property developments being constructed all over the area. Many of this property are being built to keep up with the demand of Londoners looking to exit the city for a more affordable area and we imagine, a less hectic atmosphere.

Folkestone gives the best of both worlds for commuters, they have the short 45-minute train journey into London each day, yet they have the slower paced and less manic way of life that a seaside town offers.

Another thing buyers can expect to get when they purchase property outside of London within the south east, is far more property for their money. Matthew Cullum says when we look at an average property price in London of around £350,000 compared to one of the same value in Folkestone, London can offer a 1 bedroom apartment in a less than desirable area, whereas with the same budget in

Folkestone, one can expect to purchase a ¾ bedroom detached property, with a garage and ample room. This is just one of many reasons people are exiting the city in record numbers.
