Checklist

In order to invest in a British residential property there are certain basic conditions that should be met:

  • Do you have at least £ 35,000 of equity available in shares, in bonds, in bank deposits, or in your home as free equity?

  • Do you have a steady annual income of at least £ 25,000?

  • Are you willing and able to supply extra liquidity for the operation of the property if needed?

  • Do you intend to keep the property for at least 2-3 years or more?

If you do not fulfil these conditions it will be very hard to obtain financing for the purchase and operation of the property. You should also be aware that a property investment is not a short-term investment. If you do not keep the property for at least a couple of years, the costs of purchasing and selling the property will probably offset any profits gained from an increase in the property value.
