The rise of sustainable investment:

The increase in hunger for environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) investing is rapidly generating a surge in new products and services. The growth of sustainable investment in  financial markets accounts for approximately 40% of all professionally managed assets across the big HICs. Arguably, the reason for this is the policy agenda whereby there has been increasing numbers of regulation put in place surrounding sustainable finance.

Gove is pushing property firms to make buildings ‘safe’ prior to selling:

Many buildings are put at risk by cladding or facing legal action due to safety problems caused by cladding as observed by the Grenfell Tower incident. Gove has imposed a deadline for Easter to make sure this material is removed from all lowrise blocks otherwise these firms will be exposed and “pursued.”  This is due to the protest which is based upon the idea that those who have profited and continue to profit from the sale of these unsafe buildings must take responsibility. Loans for these buildings will be replaced by a limited grant scheme in order to support those wh

Government eco red tape will wipe thousands off house prices:

There is an upcoming ‘eco red tape’ this could mean for several people who could be buying properties that could potentially rapidly fall in value. The government is setting net zero targets meaning buyers in the near future could be liable for thousands of money for energy efficiency upgrades. Once these targets are introduced the value of homes with lower EPC ratings will immediately depreciate. The problem with this is that there are a very low number of people that ask to see the EPC ratings of houses prior to buying.  ___ Do you think the eco red tape is a good i

Wandsworth sees the largest volume of £1 million property transaction as buyers desire space:

Wandsworth has been noted to be over 1/10 of the large transactions which had taken place last year out of a net of approximately 6000 transactions between £1m and £3m across London itself. This is seen to be the case, due to the fact that there is a bigger proportion of larger family homes and access to green spaces, following the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. This rise in demand for space has led to the regeneration of many areas and thus availability of new housing is increasing near the city.  _____ Would you move to the buzzing hub for a good price?

Multifamily properties slated to be hot commodities in 2022:

Owners of multifamily properties are set for a record breaking 2022. Higher prices of single owned homes and lower numbers of properties available mean that many are turning to rental. Due to the fact that multifamily properties values are usually grounded upon net operating income (NOI) the value of the ‘assets’ will rise naturally. Buyers who purchase properties at the start of the year will be able to take advantage of the NOI and those who already own multifamily properties will see lower vacancies in their homes.  Will you be investing in a multifamily property thi

U.K house prices rise at the fastest pace since 2006:

By November this year the average price of a property in the U.K was £272,992. This is £20,000 more, 10.4% more (as a percentage) than December 2020.   Now, Why might this be, you ask?  According to Russell Galley- who is the managing director at Halifax -suggests that the issue is a shortage in available properties and competition between mortgage providers to keep their rates at “historic lows.” Shockingly, the house sales , post the stamp duty holiday, have plummeted and show a 9 year low.  Many believe this is due to the COVID-19 variants which have restricted citiz
