Property is a good investment for the short to medium term. Like gold in uncertain times people go to these safe havens and although bricks and mortar are not as liquid as a stock or share, it does give investors a sense of security knowing these properties are not going to disappear in the same way stock prices can fall.
2012 is now in full swing and it is the perfect time to sell your house.
The property market is looking less and less bleak as the months go on, and with the Olympics on the horizon more people are looking to Britain and London as a place to invest in property. Winkworth’s latest market analysis has shown average property in Greater London has risen by 8.4% since August 2011, while country properties are up 0.6% over the same period.
Many Winkworth offices have reported a rise in the number of buyers expressing interest in entering the market in early 2012 and many vendors who have sat on their hands are now tired of trying to second-guess the market and plan on instructing sales early in the year. We are therefore hopeful of a strong start to 2012.
