Top 6 Factors to Consider When Selecting the Best Investment Property
- Location – things like nearby schools, shops, universities, and transport links can make a property more desirable
- Age of building – older buildings will probably require more maintenance and listed buildings may restrict you making improvements
- Fixtures and fittings – a property with a modern kitchen and bathroom will attract a higher rent. Decent water and electricity fittings will also keep maintenance costs down
- Type of building – this might influence the type of tenant you get. For example, a house with a garden is more likely to attract a family
- Energy performance – the law requires landlords to have an Energy Performance Certificate rating of at least an E. Without this, they are unable to provide tenancies
- Resale value – resale value is a big part of an investment. You want to purchase a building that not only brings you profit while owning it but also when you sell the property too
