2021 The Best Opportunity this Decade to Invest in UK Property

January 5, 2021

Welcome to the Roaring 20’s

The team at Regency Invest are very excited about the year ahead as we believe 2021 will be the best opportunity to buy investment property this decade. 2021 presents huge opportunity to buy well priced property, with fantastic returns and excellent prospects for capital appreciation, if your buy in the right areas.

We fundamentally believe that there is pent up demand from property buyers who have sat on the side-lines this year, which will realise the massive increases in property prices over the next five years, which have been forecast by industry experts.

As the world gradually recovers from the COVID pandemic, consumer behaviour will notably change with populations liberated from restrictions implemented to protect. It is expected that the rush of new found freedom will result in a boom as people look to enjoy themselves and socialise. Many cities around the UK, including London, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield and Leeds offer a vibrant place to live and meet this boom in demand.  

The Brexit trade deal has also been finally agreed providing a colossal increase in positivity to the UK market and most importantly, we don’t have to hear about it every day on the news!

Regency Invest has some exclusive opportunities being launched in January 2021 that we are very much looking forward to discussing with you. Let us know your investment criteria today with our 60 second investor form to ensure that you are at the front of the queue to take advantage of the best apartments, the best discounts and the highest returns.

 

2020 Experienced the Fastest Property Price Growth in 6 Years

Most people are keen to forget the turmoil of 2020, however, UK average house prices increased by a massive 7.3% in the past year despite the COVID epidemic and the economic uncertainty surrounding Brexit, so it hasn’t been a bad year at all for property investment for those who took action.

Prices in December alone increased by 0.8% despite the usual slow-down in property transactions in the lead up to Christmas and the New Year. Nationwide calculated that prices are 5.3% higher in December than in March before the first COVID lockdown in the UK.

This is the biggest annual increase in six years, with property investors who grasped the opportunity now enjoying sizeable capital gains and a boost to their equity within their portfolio.

 

COVID Pandemic Over by Easter

Everyone across the globe has been impacted by the COVID crisis in some shape or form. The UK has been at the forefront of the vaccination programme and in early December became the first Western country to begin a mass effort to vaccinate its population against the Coronavirus.

 

Following the approval of the Oxford University and AstraZeneca vaccine, it is reported that Britain could vaccinate 24 million people by Easter, with AstraZeneca pledging to deliver 2 million doses per week with the UK ordering 100 million doses and the AstraZeneca vaccination roll out beginning next Monday.

 

This is a massive boost to ending the pandemic within months with indications that the pandemic could end by Easter 2021 with the hopes of life returning to normality in the UK, likely ahead of other Western countries.

 

Brexit Trade Deal Finally Agreed

The UK struck a trade deal with the European Union on the 24th December, which was a lovely Christmas present for the UK.

 

This means that we will see the end of uncertainty over the impact of a “no deal” Brexit, which seemed likely in the run up to the end of 2020. Despite a “no deal” we have no doubt that the UK would have continued to be a global leader and ultimately come out stronger on the other side.  

 

With a trade deal the UK has regained its place as the fifth largest economy in the world after overtaking India.  

 

When is the Best Time to Buy?

The UK house prices increasing in 2020 despite a global pandemic and concerns over the impact on the economy from a “no deal” Brexit proves that the UK property market is very resilient.  

 

There are many would be property investors who have expressed concern and stood on the side-lines this past year and as a result, they have missed out on the fastest growth in property prices in 6-years.  

 

Property prices have consistently increased, with a few bumps in the road along the way. Property is an investment vehicle for those seeking a medium to long-term investment, not for those who want to quickly sell on and make a massive profit.  

 

Our ethos is that buying property below market value is essential to ensure that if there is a marginal decrease in property prices, you have a buffer and if prices continue to increase, you have made a massive gain from equity in your investment property.  

 

If you do nothing, quite simply…. you miss out, as 2020 has proved.
