According to major banks, house prices have dropped 16.1 per cent in the last year, and are now at the lowest they've ever been. With Charles Church Wales offering a choice of homes to suit all types of tenant, now could be the perfect time to invest in a rental property.

The UK's second largest lettings agent, Your Move, reported a 50 per cent increase in rental demand from September 2007 to 2008, and younger generations that might have previously bought a home in the past are now renting for longer, waiting until their thirties to step onto the property ladder. This is excellent news if you're in a position to buy a property or two to rent out as you are assured a tenant for your home. With prices starting from as low as £99,950 for a luxury studio apartment at Charles Church's Strata development in Century Wharf, Cardiff Bay, affordability is not an issue, and what's more, Charles Church will assist you in getting the best possible rental return!

Charles Church offers a choice of developments across Wales, providing an array of housetypes from studio apartments right up to impressive four bedroom family homes. Each home is completely ready to be let out, featuring functional kitchens equipped with Bosch stainless steel appliances, and bathrooms and en-suite facilities fitted with crisp white sanitaryware. Every modern convenience is considered, with plentiful electrical sockets, phone and TV outlets, as well as full gas fired central heating and UPVC windows as standard.

Situated in a variety of desirable locations in Wales, Charles Church has ensured that prospective tenants are bound to be impressed. Local amenities are always in close proximity, and developments are within easy reach of the main cities in Wales. There are homes in Cardiff, Swansea and Newport, each offering a wealth of shopping, entertainment and leisure opportunities sure to suit all tastes. Some may prefer life in a slower lane, which Charles Church has catered for with their developments in Risca and Ammanford, both locations benefiting from picturesque countryside and a tranquil rural aspect.
