Learn to earn from property investment

Liverpool has long been identified as a buy-to-let hotspot and The Money Centre, provider of buy-to-let mortgages is visiting this month to help potential and existing landlords take advantage of this growing investment market.

With its inward investment record, expanding population and good transport links, Liverpool is a sought-after location. It has a vibrant rental sector with a higher-than average percentage of homes available for rent, as well as consistently high demand from both students and those in full-time employment1. Its status next year as European Capital of Culture will only add to its attraction, creating as many as 14,000 extra jobs. The outlook for rental property remains healthy and reinforces Liverpool’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 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 in 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.”
