Act now or forget your pension
Pensions, Savings, Isa’s….
What do all of these have in common?
Well other than shocking returns, the chances are that over half of you are relying on one of these come retirement.
Forgive my scepticism, I can only talk from past experience, you see I’ve got a share portfolio which I’m looking to for a pension, I’ve had this for 7 years and rather than make me any money, it’s actually fallen 3% in value.
The news is full of programmes investigating the current financial crisis; no avenue of investment seems to be safe.
Panorama recently investigated the vast fees and commissions some pension companies take from their clients, in one case a lady’s net return over 21 years was just 3%…it would have been 4% if she had not been paying various charges!
Now I’m sure that there are other pensions that would return her a larger sum but as she pointed out, how do you know which are any good?
Well the answer is, you really don’t…
Why Property?
For years I have tried to educate clients as to the benefits of investing in property as your pension. Not only do you benefit from any rental returns after mortgage payments but you will also over a number of years, benefit from capital growth.
It has been widely documented that property prices have taken a tumble in many locations, however if you buy smart and at a good price you massively reduce your risk.
The average pension pot in the UK is around £33,000; now for many of you it may not be too late to do something about this.
Below I will show you a simple way to make your money work for you in property.
Let’s take a 35 year old male that wants to retire at 55.
- Purchase a 1 bed apartment for £150,000. (Multiple locations across the south coast)
- Deposit needed £30,000 (20%)
- *Repayment Mortgage over 20 years = £735 pcm (4% interest rate)
- Rent PCM = £750 pcm (average for this price and location)
- Management Cost £75 pcm (10%)
- Additional payments = £60 pcm.
*Remember this is a repayment mortgage, not interest only, the long term goal is to pay this mortgage off over 20 years.
If you look at the £60 as your pension payments, in 20 years time you will have a pension pot worth £150,000, not taking into account any growth; giving you a return of £750 pcm.
Now the chances are that there will be capital growth during this period, if we take it at just 5% per year, your property will be worth £397,995 in 20 years time.
Rental also historically increases over time, if we take 5% here as well, your £750 would be worth £1,990 pcm in 20 years.
In Conclusion:
When investing in stocks and shares, it is extremely hard to get an idea of what they will be worth come retirement time. Brokers and IFA’s will bombard you with figures, but for the most part it’s a shot in the dark.
One thing that not is historical data on property and rental growth, this can be proved, as can the UK’s desperate need for more property and the demand for rental property in certain areas.
Many of you probably own a house and have done for a number of years, cast your mind back 20 years and recall the re-sale and rental values then. See what I mean?
In short:
- £30,000 investment in property now
- £60 pcm top up
Should provide you with…
- An asset worth £397,995 in 20 years time
- Income of £1,990 per month.
The Alternative:
Keep ploughing money into a product you’re not in control of and you probably don’t understand.

A good time to invest in property
I was just reading an article by BBC news about how taking investment advice from your bank is a bad idea. I’m sure many people reading this article will have been asked to speak to one of the financial advisors available at their local bank, who will tell them that investing their money in one of the banks medium/high risk funds is a good bet and it will return x% and increase in capital by x%.
One of the ladies in the BBC news article had invested £100,000 into a “Cautious fund” and she quickly lost £40,000… unbelievable! Not only this, but the lady’s money was also decreasing at a faster rate because of the fact it was shrinking against the rate of inflation.
At a time of inflation coupled with low interest rates, ideally you would like to be in a position where you have an asset which is making you money and your borrowings on that asset are also, in real terms, shrinking while inflation is present. Your asset will be making you an increased amount of money with inflation and in comparison to your borrowings against it; the time at which you will have no outstanding finance will approach quickly. I am, of course talking about property.
It is no surprise that property investment has, for a long time, served as the main entry route to the forbes 100 rich list. The process of buying property in the right location at the right time and making sure the rent is going to cover the repayments you have on any borrowings, is just the start of it. The distance you can make your money stretch in property is insurmountable, by refinancing and keeping the cash flow on each property positive every month.
I have seen an article today from a top economic forecaster predicting that interest rates will remain at 0.5% until 2014; you may have also seen that the UK economy grew faster than expected last month inflation is at a rate of around 3% this typically means that the price of most goods and services are increasing at that rate and, ideally, your wage at work, as opposed to your borrowings on your property, which will be shrinking in comparison. Ideally I would be looking to invest in property now, take advantage of very little new build stock, the low interest rates available and use some of the positive cash flow generated every month to reduce my borrowings, so when interest rates do finally rise I am less susceptible to increased repayments.

More strong news for Cape Verde Property Investment
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) have conducted their eighth and final review of the Cape Verde Islands and yet again it is fantastic news for anyone invested or interested in investing in Cape Verde Property.
The IMF have stated that they believe Cape Verde’s growth will continue through 2010 with inflation remaining low. This is good news for the islands that are already showing very strong growth indicators and are becoming a real investment hotspot.
The IMF have shown that they believe that “Real GDP” will be increasing at a rate of around 6-7% pa over the next 5 years (“Real GDP” is the size of an economy with allowances for inflation) meaning that the value of all goods and services produced or passing through the country will be increasing by 6-7% and therefore the size of the economy will be growing and people, on average, will be able to benefit from a better standard of living and companies can begin to grow, allowing more money to go back into the development of infrastructure.
Lots of the growth for these islands comes from increased Tourism and an increased level of investment in property and then infrastructure. Property prices on the island have been rising on average by around 15% per year. The islands have remained a relatively undiscovered gem in comparison to the Caribbean and its northern counterpart, the Canary Islands, where property prices can be as much as 40% higher. They are only a 5 hour flight from the UK, have a time difference of only GMT – 2hours and benefit from 360 days of sunshine per year. Tourism figures have been increasing year on year and the island of Sal has seen increases of around 27.5% per year, as the only island with a truly international airport.
All of this information leads to a great location for investment in property serving the tourist industry. The investment we are presenting at Fresh Invest takes full advantage of the increasing tourism figures and can realistically provide investors with a net rental income of £12,133 per year for an investment as low as £32,294. All of this in a beachfront, 5* resort that gives purchasers 5 weeks free use per year.

My top 5 places to invest for 2010 – Part 1
The property market in many countries has taken a real hit over the last few years, however this sometimes is not a bad thing.
If your looking at property investment as an alternative to stocks and shares then the time may be ripe to invest.
Below are my top 5 places to invest.
1. Cape Verde:
When looking for an overseas investment opportunity the first thing you should always ask yourself is “would i go there”. If the answer is no, the chances are your not in the minority.
The next question is, if you would go there, why?
For me Cape Verde offers a unique proposition, 360 days worth of sun that you can access via a 5 hour flight.
Combine these 2 points and it narrows the field down considerably; quite honestly the competitors i’ve either been to or i’d never want to.
The reason for this is as follows, not only does Cape Verde have a Caribbean climate but also a laid back lifestyle unlike many of its competitors.
The Prices are still relatively low compared to the likes of Tenerife and some Caribbean islands, this is mainly due to the infancy of the islands that make up Cape Verde.
This will not be the case for long, already some major 5 star hotel operators are building on the islands of Sal and Boavista, this will increase tourism and put more pressure on Airline operators to increase their flights.
One such 5* hotel operator is Sol Melia – the worlds largest hotel resort operator, they are taking over the running of our Dunas Beach Resort investment opportunity.
Conclusion:
Risk = Medium
Returns = High
Yields = High
Minimum cost to invest = £33,640.
2. Barbados:
If you have deeper pockets abd want slightly less risk then Barbados may be for you, offering the true 5* lifestyle with prices to boot.
The reason i think this is a good investment is that even though prices are high, you can still achieve yields in excess of 10%, as witnessed in our opportunity on the West Coast Barbados.
Yields this good along with the knowledge that you are investing in the holiday makers favourite Caribbean island means that occupancy rates should remain strong. Most other Caribbean islands are so far behind that no threat to this crown seems anywhere near appearing.
Demand is Barbados is so high it has become the place for celebrities to have second homes, as proved by a host of premier league footballers, golfers and tv personalities.
Conclusion:
Risk = Low
Returns = Medium
Yields = High
Minimum cost to invest = £64,990.
3. Spain – Barcelona:
I love Barcelona, its my favourite city by a long ways.
Sea, Sun, Football, Great Beaches, Great Nightlife andf now a grand prix! I don’t know another city that offers so much.
I also think its a bit of a hidden gem, 1 bed apartments on the outskirts of Barcelona can be picked up for around €160,000 and if you can rent them for 40 weeks of the year you should be on for close to a 8% yield. Not bad for one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world.
Demand will always be strong because of the sheer size and climate of Barca.
Combine this with the fact that house prices in Barcelona have hardly been effected by the global financial crisis and you know that values will remain robust in all but the most dire of circumstances.
Conclusion:
Risk = Low
Returns = Medium
Yields = Medium
Minimum cost to invest = £27,111

Capital Gains Tax Increase – Fresh views
With news that the new Con/Lib coalition are to raise the tax due on Capital Gains for anyone selling a second property Fresh Invest shares it’s views on how this may affect the property investment market.
Firstly let’s decide why the government has decided to impose this new tax there are 2 main reasons:
- The previous government has run up an astronomical budget deficit – hence the note recently left by the outgoing treasury minister Liam Byrne, to the new chief secretary David Laws which stated “Dear chief secretary, I’m afraid there is no money. Kind regards and good luck! Liam.” For this reason it is imperative that the new government make a lot of cuts, to bring the level of this deficit to an acceptable level they need to recoup money from the tax payers and this new capital gains tax will do just that.
- The second reason is that because of the slack lending criteria over the past decade many people have bought up a large amount of property in small holiday towns throughout the south of England, through this they artificially increased the prices of all the houses around these areas and they are now financially out of reach of the average worker in those towns.
The government is therefore going to impose an increased Capital Gains Tax on all second home sales as a way of raising cash for themselves and a way of stopping people becoming too greedy and putting house prices out of reach for first time buyers in holiday locations throughout the UK.
Now what could happen as a result of an increase in Capital Gains Tax?
The big sell off – This first scenario would really depend on when the government decides to impose this new tax, if they decided to impose the tax from the new tax year i.e. 6th of April 2011 then I would suspect a big sell off of second homes in desirable locations, creating a very large influx of supply into the property market and without the demand to match, probable falls in prices.
The buy and hold – The other scenario, I believe would also depend on the time the new tax is imposed. I would suspect that if it was to be imposed straight away then second home owners and investors alike may decide not to sell their properties as the gains are no longer high enough. Hopefully this will not cause any form of stagnation in the already fragile property market.
One thing is for sure. This will slow down the purchasing of property just for the capital gains that come with it, as the risks may begin to outweigh the possible rewards .An advantage of this however will mean that investors do not inflate property prices further and therefore eliminate first-time buyers from the market. Hopefully this will lead to longer, sustained growth.
Maybe it’s time to look to the overseas property market for your significant capital growth?

Spring market bounce defies political fears
The traditional slowdown in the property market coming up to the election, was not enough to eradicate the increase in housing sales, enquiries and prices that come with the spring season every year.
As the election comes around people traditionally slow their searches for new properties, in a hope to not overexposing themselves to possible new policies, which could leave them struggling once the new government has been decided. One such new policy could be an agreement to hold the interest rates at a current low level, this will of course be beneficial to anyone looking to trade up in the housing market and possibly leverage themselves further against the value of their property, if interest rates were due to increase this could be a problem for would be house buyers as they may struggle to match the repayments.
On the other hand it is normal in Britain for the property market to have somewhat of an upsurge in interest during spring, this can be attributed, partly to the sun making house hunting a more pleasant experience and also, to the budget which is often announced late in March and provides more certainty to market conditions.
It is good to see this news, as now the new government has been decided and are getting to work, we would expect the current trend in new house buyers and a slow increase in house prices to continue, as people are given more certainty in the position they will be in, come the next few months. There are a few interesting policies being taken into government, it will be interesting to see what the Lib-Dems have in store with the new “safe start” mortgage, designed to stop new buyers slipping into negative equity.
News of the increase in prices and sales came from RICS this month, as they published their latest monthly survey of some 245 members of the RICS who work as estate agents.

What will the election mean to the property market?
This election could mean boom or bust to the already fragile property market in the UK.
As we all know, possibly the largest challenge facing the new government will be our economy. The 3 big parties have outlined the steps they will take to try to deal with the £170bn deficit in the UK’s finances.
With it looking increasingly like a hung parliament, what will be the main points of debate from these parties on our property market?
Listed below are some of the key points of each party.
Conservative:
- Scrap home information packs
- Keep the £250,000 stamp duty threshold for the foreseeable future
- Add a new 5% stamp duty threshold for £1m properties from April 2011
- Increase inheritance tax threshold to £1m
- Regards Northern Rock, they have not stated whether they will consider remutualisation
- Include more local initiatives rather than large scale regional building plans
- Will look to split state and part owned banks into 2 parts, retail and investment
Labour:
- Add a new 5% stamp duty threshold for £1m properties from April 2011
- Keep the homebuyer direct scheme for low earners
- Keep Home Information Packs
- The £250,000 stamp duty threshold is due to expire in March 2012
- 10,000 affordable homes to be built a year by 2014
- Northern Rock: Manifesto pledge to consider remutualisation as an option, ‘while ensuring the sale generates maximum value for the taxpayer.’
- Will look to break up large banks but probably not into retail and investment
- Maintain the standard interest rate on the Support for Mortgage Interest Scheme at 6.08 per cent until December 2010.
Liberal Democrats:
- Charge VAT on new homes
- 1% “supertax” on homeowners with properties worth over £2m.
- Create a new “Safe Start” mortgage that keeps buyers from slipping into negative equity
- Propose a green loan for people to invest in home energy efficiency and micro-renewables
- Get rid of home information packs and keep energy performance certificates
- Consider remutualisation regards Northern Rock
- Will split state and part owned banks into retail and investment

Lack of property boosts asking prices
I’ve done it again!
If you remember i blogged in september regarding a lack of supply leading to increased prices, well it seems mortgage solutions agrees……better late than never! See their article here.
I personally i think they missed the biggest point which is the slow down in new build development. But you get the same result.
We still have a few new build developments with discounts available, if you are looking for a property investment click the link!
Another option is to buy a student property, some of our wealthiest investors specialise totally in student accommodation investment. A couple of them have yields close to 20% on massive portfolio’s!
Some investors don’t like the hassle of student property but if you have a management company set up all you need to do is collect the profits!
Spending cuts for universities….Great News for investors!
The UK Government has announced they are looking to implement spending cuts in the region of £350m for the 2010/2011 academic year.
Now many people may think this is a major set back to investors investing in student accommodation, but in actual fact that could not be further from the truth.
What this actually means is that Universities have to concentrate their funding on their core facilities. For instance, up keep of their academic buildings is obviously very important, where as building accommodation for students is secondary.
You may argue that without the accommodation, attendances will drop. Actually this may not be the case.
What the university is hoping for is that third party developers will step in and build for them.
This has always been a much maligned area for Universities because they know that the more accommodation they own, the more revenue they will generate.
Problems arise when spending is cut, they can’t afford to develop so are almost completely reliant on commercial developers.
In short, third party commercial developers have the universities over the proverbial barrel!
Take a look at our Student Property Buyers Guide for more information!
Cape Verde Looks to the Future
Known by many as “The European Caribbean”, Cape Verde is showing signs that it could be Europe’s saviour when it comes to affordable holidays with year round sun or overseas property investment.
With the credit crisis hitting most, holidaymakers are looking closer to home. Spain and the Canary Islands have both seen increases in tourism as well as many locations in the UK. However, if you really want year round sun in a secure location Cape Verde has to be at the top of the list!
Now Cape Verde is looking to boost tourism by implementing a Tourism Strategy Plan which will aim to increase tourism by 500,000 visitors by 2013.
Between the year 2000 and 2008 the total holidaymakers visiting Cape Verde rose by 11.4%!
This plan has been given the green light by ministers and looks set to boost tourism sector employment by as much as 60%!
This will obviously have a knock on effect for holiday apartments and villas, many average builders have fallen by the way side leaving some select developers to take up the baton. None more so than The Resort Group and it’s Dunas Beach Resort, the first developer in Cape Verde to sign up with a 5* developer. Sol Melia is the largest resort hotel group on the planet and their 5* hotels are widely recognised as some of the best in the world.
The best part is that you can purchase an apartment on this select development from just £72,326.
Deposits needed are just 35% so just £27,986 gets you an apartment in a 5* resort in Cape Verde; due to be the best hotel resort on the island! Check out Dunas Beach Resort Now!
As lending relaxes property investment increases!
It’s what most of us have been waiting for, the small time frame between lenders relaxing their criteria and property prices increasing.
We all knew that lenders were going to need to increase their loan to value rates, and that when they did it would make a massive difference to the property investment market.
Over the past few months half decent rates had been reserved for investors with 40% deposits. Now i do not condone most no money down deals, i think they lead to more problems than they alleviate.
However! the case for the investor with a healthy 20% deposit should be heard, they have a large amount of equity in their property and should now be relatively safe from negative equity.
It seems the lenders now agree.
What are the new rates like?
Since the BOE base rate reached 0.5% products requiring a 15% deposit have risen from 169 to 231. And the number of products requiring just 10% upfront has gone up from 89 to 105 in the last month alone.
This is certainly a massive difference to a year or even 6 months ago.
Nationwide has already announced a new influx of deals, including some at 85% loan to value and they have also released some of their best rates at 70% ltv, from their previous at 60%.
They have even released a special 90% ltv rate for investors that hold one of their flexaccounts. These start at 4.63% for a 2 year tracker.
The Woolwich have also released details of their new 75% ltv rates, this is the first time the lender has made it to 75% for at least a year. The new mortgages include a lifetime tracker on 2.94% and 2 year fixed on 3.99%.
Abbey also have a new range out, these are exclusively for their current account customers. One of their best is a 90% ltv 3 year fixed rate at 5.99%, their cheapest mortgages are now available at 70% from 60%.
So why the sudden change?
It seems that lenders now believe that the worst is behind us, in short if they are offering 90% ltv mortgage they believe that property prices will not drop more than 10%, in fact they believe that prices will increase in the future, as now being reported in most news channels.
Just last month hsbc pledged to lend an extra £500m at 90% ltv by the end of this year!
Add this to the political pressure being put on lenders by the government, this was summed up by the governments own lending house northern rock as they released some of the best ltv rates seen for over a year!
So should i buy now?
If you are looking at getitng into property investment there has never been a better time to invest, there are still seller under pressure but now there is also the promise of some competitive rates. This means that not only can you buy cheap, you can also borrow cheaply!
We don’t expect this to remain the case for long so why not add or start your portfolio with some discounted property now!
Also check out our UK Buying Guide for handy hints and tips.
Property Investment – Why you actually have no choice!
I have noticed many of our investors are holding off investing in buy to let property, instead choosing to make doubly sure that the market is on its way to a recovery before jumping in.
Not a bad idea, it certainly mitigates your risk in the property investment market.
But! are you not missing out on the very time when developers are looking to do discounted deals?
Developers are no different from us, they want to make as much profit as possible which means getting the very best price they can.
If you want to sell your car, your only going to discount it if you really need to.
If suddenly all other cars dissapeared and yours was one of the only ones available you would think you were on to a winner and charge top whack!
This is what will happen with new build property soon. The property investment market is recovering and new build property supply is decreasing!
Soon 20% discounts on new build property will only be available in the very worst developments or the largest bulk opportunities.
When this happens it will be no use complaining you have missed the boat, it will have sailed and you will face the choice of not investing at all or paying top prices for buy to let property.
If you have £20,000 spare at the moment you have 3 choices as far as i can see.
1. Leave it in a savings account.
You will probably achieve 3% on your money but it is relatively safe.
2. Invest it in shares.
But what shares? most people have probably seen their share portfolio’s decrease by at least 30% over the last year so do you want to risk it again? even if you do only the very highest risk shares wiull give you the kind of returns that you can expect from a buy to let property.
3. Buy to Let Property Investment.
Just this week we have sold 15 units in 2 different developments, one in Gravesend in Kent, £21,000 into a mortgage gets you a return of 8% and clear profit of £300 per month. One in Salford costs £20,000 into a mortgage and a return of nearly 9% with profit of £330 per month.
Most of these units are already let, one of our bulk purchasers rented 5 apartments in Gravesend in one day. We only offer property in areas where we know there is high demand.
We are seeing more investors buy now than for many years, all of those that are not have to ask themselves why not? Are you perhaps missing out when others are taking advantage of this unique situation?
We know 2 things for definite.
1. The property market will recover at some point.
2. The yields you can achieve today are some of the highest we have ever seen.
These 2 points make it impossible not to at least consider property as an investment strategy.
Quite simply, if you want a good return on your money with little risk and the prospect of high capital growth do you really have a choice?
3 Reasons why you should start investing in property again.
Property Investment….over the last 18 months probably the furthest thing from your mind!
So why start investing now?
1. Mortgage rates are relatively low.
Ok so the ltv rate isn’t great but the actual rates are pretty good and with our economy suffering i believe there is little chance of the boe base rate increasing.
An average 65% ltv mortgage on a new build flat is around 5% with second hand property mortgages available from 75% at 5% rate.
In historical terms the rate is a lot lower than it has been for a long while.
As ever, if you are building a property investment portfolio you need the mortgage rates to remain fairly low to allow you to repay the mortgage loan, another up shot is that when buy to let mortgages recover the ltv rates will increase, allowing you to remortgage.
2. Property supply is at an all time low!
With most new build developers choosing to stop building last year we now face the fact that it will take these housebuilders a year to get new schemes out of the ground.
This will mean that for around a year from now new properties will be some what of a rarity. New build property accounted for a massive part of the property bought last year, without this supply and with increasing demand prices are sure to increase.
UK Property Investment has always relied to a large part on developers willing to discount their property for either bulk sales or quick completions but if they have no stock….
3. It’s cheaper to buy than rent.
Recent research has shown that for the first time in ages it is actually cheaper to buy than rent, well outside of London anyway!
Abbey found the average rent of £434pm compares to a mortgage payment of £382pm (with a 25% deposit). That’s a saving of £52pm. People in Wales and the north west would save on average £90pm. We can also overpay or save whilst interest rates are low.
So for those looking to start in property investment now looks like an ideal time.
Why Cape Verde is the New Caribbean?
When looking for an overseas investment opportunity Location Location Location really is the most important factor!
If you are looking at an up and coming emerging country that may make massive capital appreciation for you over the coming years i think Cape Verde is the place to be.
When investing myself i normally ask myself who would buy or rent the property i’m purchasing.
Well who would holiday in Cape Verde.
In my mind you have to submit to one of the following:
1. You want winter sun
2. You do not like 9 hour flights
3. Holiday is a rare commodity so you may only be able to take a week at a time
4. Nothing too in your face
5. Value for money
To be honest this has just summed up what i look for in a holiday.
Saying that, i consider myself an “average joe” without wild tastes.
Because of this i believe Cape Verde stands a real chance of taking off over the next few years.
I actually believe that the only reason it has not done so thus far is because of the economic crisis we have found ourselves in.
The reason for this, well do UK holiday makers really have a choice?
Unless you want to go to Egypt, where is close enough to get guaranteed sun in november through to february?
If flight costs continue to increase it’s going to all but price the UK holiday maker out of places such as the Caribbean and U.S.A.
With 1 beds at Dunas Beach Resort going from as little as £74,000 and only a 35% deposit needed it certainly looks inexpensive.
Add to this the fact that you can go for 5 weeks of the year and still command a 9.5% yield worst case, it looks even better.
The compound this with the fact that it’s 2 years off-plan and prices have statistically risen 15% per annum, meaning that in 2 years you may have 30% equity already built in!
Well i’m sold!
Portfolio Management
Well, interesting news at Fresh Invest.
A while ago we realised that there is a gap in the market for a portfolio management company that not only collects the rentals and conducts rent reviews, but also takes an active interest in the property that is contained in the portfolio.
We found that many investors simply go to a large letting agent and hand their portfolio over in it’s entirety.
Through our relationships with some national letting agents we have managed to agree a significant discount off of their fees.
What we propose is that we let our letting agent take over the day to day management of an investors portfolio whilst we conduct monthly reviews of your property, recommending selling or buying specific property.
As a property investment company we believe we are ideally positioned to take advantage of potential growth areas before they are hit by the investors. We also hear when some areas are overpopulated by investors. Giving our portfolio holders this information can prove invaluable.
Let us know what you think about this idea…
