Property Investment

The three most important rules of property investment are location, location, location. If you don't buy a property in a good location where there is excellent growth potential then the chances are your property wont grow in value in line with well chosen property. To find out if a particular area has growth potential it is a good idea to look at the council website and determine what they are planning over the next 5 to 30 years. If the government is spending a lot of money in one area then growth will usually follow.

Property investment is generally a long term investment, if you only plan to hold a property for a few years then you may find out you only just "break even". If you have a long term strategy then you will be pleased to hear that property prices generally double every 7 to 10 years.
