Learn to earn from the property market

The Money Centre’s free buy-to-let workshop visits the west of London on Wednesday 20th June.

The Money Centre, one of the UK’s largest providers of buy-to-let mortgages is visiting west London this month to help potential and existing landlords take advantage of this growing investment market.

Situated between the economic might of central London and the high growth businesses of the Thames Valley region, west London is a sought-after location1. It has a vibrant rental sector with a higher-than average percentage of homes available for rent, helped by a consistently high demand from commuters and those with jobs within the six boroughs of West London. The outlook for rental property remains healthy and reinforces London’s position as a well-placed area for investors to buy property to let.

Nationwide, demand for rental property has hit a four and a half year high, rents are rising at their fastest rate in six years and house prices are forecast to continue rising throughout 20072. With such strong factors driving the buy-to-let industry, more people are looking at property investment to secure their financial future.

Hosted by The Money Centre’s marketing and PR director, Lynsey Sweales and other successful portfolio landlords, the workshop will provide guidance on how to build a portfolio, minimise risks and maximise returns, buy below market value and demonstrate how to use profits to build a new lifestyle through property investment. From the most seasoned of investors to those just curious on how to get started in the buy-to-let business, the workshops will help potential investors take an informed, calculated move into the property market.

Lynsey says: “Our workshops attract between two and three hundred people. Anyone who comes along can be assured they will be receiving guidance from people who have been there and done it themselves!

The buy-to-let market is no longer just for the wealthy and middle-aged. Nowadays, not only are 40 per cent of landlords under 35, but more than half own one or two properties for rent and there are as many female landlords as there are men. Buy-to-let is seen as an alternative to traditional forms of investment. For example, people who have had their confidence in pensions shaken are investing in property, which they see as offering greater returns and more control.”
