Today Sheffield is being talked about as “a city on the up.” With an economy now worth over £7 billion a year, and economic growth exceeding the national average, Sheffield’s’
Nationwide, demand for rental property has hit a four and a half year high, rents are rising at their fastest rate in six years and house prices are forecast to continue rising throughout 2007. With such strong factors driving the buy-to-let industry, more people are looking at property investment to secure their financial future.
The Money Centre, one of the UK’s largest providers of buy-to-let mortgages is visiting Sheffield this month to help potential and existing landlords take advantage of this growing investment market.
Hosted by Lynsey Sweales, The Money Centre’s marketing and PR director, and other successful portfolio landlords, the workshops will provide guidance on how to build a portfolio, buying property below market value and demonstrating how to use profits to build a new lifestyle through property investment. From the most seasoned of investors to those just curious on how to get started in the buy-to-let business, the workshops will help every attendee to make informed decisions about the property market.
Lynsey comments: “Our workshops attract between two and three hundred people. Anyone who comes along can be assured they will be receiving guidance from people who have been there and done it themselves!”
The buy-to-let market is no longer for just the wealthy and middle aged. Nowadays, not only are 40 per cent of landlords under 35, but more than half own one or two properties for rent and there are as many female landlords as there are men. Buy-to-let is seen as an alternative to traditional forms of investment. For example, people who have had their confidence in pensions shaken are investing in property, which they see as offering greater returns and more control.”
