Property: An Investment you can rely on?

At a recent speaking engagement Steve Bolton, founder of Platinum Property Partners, explained why he believed the next two years offers the perfect time to invest in property.

“The current buying opportunity we’re seeing only comes around once every 20 years. We are currently in a situation where property prices are at or close to the bottom, while the prices of rented accommodation are on the rise and capital values are only likely to increase medium to long term.”

Matt Hutchinson, Communications Director of Spareroom.co.uk, explains: “We have been tracking rental trends for over 10 years now and I believe there has never been a better time to be a landlord in the right sectors. According to our data, the gap between supply and demand for quality rooms to rent has never been so wide. Landlords should continue to see rents rising and voids falling through 2011 and beyond.”

When you consider that 90 per cent of the world’s wealth is either made or held in property, and the fact that PPP franchise owners have purchased almost £50m worth of property in the last four years, despite the economic downturn, property investing the right way really is as safe as houses.

PPP properties achieve an average gross yield of 16 per cent, and after paying all costs (mortgage, bills, maintenance and voids), the average PPP property will generate £16,000 gross profit per annum from rental income alone. You can see why it makes sense – logically and financially.

The success of its franchise owners proves the strength of the PPP property investment model – it has been strong enough to not only withstand the global financial crisis, but prosper throughout this period and beyond.

The business model is unique in franchising as it combines a proven and highly profitable business model, with safe, secure and appreciating property assets owned by franchise owners that provide future capital growth.

“My first buy to let produces an income of £3,400 a month, with monthly costs of only £2,100. I make £1,300 clear profit per month from just one house! Future capital growth is a bonus on top, not a necessity.”

In 2011 alone, PPP franchise owners have purchased almost £8 million worth of property, and that’s aft er six months. There is a zero failure rate in the PPP franchise network. This is testament to the tried, tested and proven business model, that has enabled many people to replace and/or supplement their existing incomes as well as offering a secure future and a pathway to financial freedom.
