Investing In Overseas Property Is A Wise Thing To Do


Posted July 17, 2019 by becketthanlonuk

If you are a high net worth individual you probably already own properties as an investment. That makes sense because, over time, properties have always increased in value. However, it also makes sense to diversify when you are investing your money.

 
If you are a high net worth individual, you probably already own property in the UK that you purchased simply as an investment, rather than to live in yourself. That is a very wise choice, because bricks and mortar always increase in value over time. Certainly, property can have its ups and downs over the short term, but in the long term it always has, and as far as we can foresee, always will increase.

However, as with anything, you don’t want all your eggs in one basket. You need to diversify – even when it comes to property. You might own commercial property, but it makes sense to add some residential property into your portfolio, or for that matter, the other way around.

Today, though, there is also the question of the state of politics in the UK. Brexit has driven many people to despair – both leavers and remainers. We were promised that we would leave on the 31st of March, but that didn’t happen. Now we are promised that we will leave on the 31st of October.

Who knows?

The problem is that our “political masters” are at each other’s throats and really don’t seem to care about the 17.4 million people – the largest ever majority in any UK vote – who decided that they didn’t want to be ruled by a bunch of unelected foreigners any longer. What with that and the VERY small majority of the Tory party, almost anything could happen.

If you are a property investor, the biggest problem is the possibility that there could be a Corbyn government. The Labour party has already outlined its’ plans for soaking those who own properties, even if it is only their family home.

This is why it makes total sense to diversify some of your property investment overseas. BeckettHanlon is one of the leading overseas property advisors in the UK and has access to a huge choice of properties in the Mediterranean and elsewhere which can make ideal investments for the future. Many of these properties in Spain and Portugal are very cheap to buy compared with UK property prices, and are in constant demand by holidaymakers who are prepared to pay considerably more than a normal rent for their two weeks in the sun.

This means that you can buy an overseas property for less, and rent it out for more, and it will still increase in value over time. It makes a lot of sense.
