We all know that buy-to-let property can be a fantastic way to invest your money that is otherwise sitting in the bank receiving low-interest rates (discover here why buy-to-let is a great investment).
Many of our clients that approach us are excited at the prospect of investing in property, but aren’t sure of the best locations in order to maximise their investment. There are generally three goals from property investment: Income, growth, or a mixture of the two. Depending on your needs as an investor (and of course your budget), the location that is right for you to invest can, in fact, differ from another investor entirely.
At Flambard Williams, our research team are continuously keeping an eye on the property market, including the latest trends, new UK hotspots and the best developments to invest your money based on your needs. That’s why, we have listed below the very latest UK areas that have been revealed as the best buy-to-let investments. You can rest assured there’s a perfect location for your investment aspirations with our varied development picks.
