‘Investing In London’ Event Taking Place This Week

On Wednesday 17 March at 6.00pm, Barratt London will be hosting an ‘Investing in London’ webinar, with an exclusive incentive of a guaranteed 5% rental return for the first year to those attending the session.

Current market trends will be discussed by a panel of property experts, as well as the effects of Covid-19 and top tips for investors looking to make the most of what the city has to offer.

Those tuning into the session can expect to hear from industry specialists including:

• Jennet Siebrits – executive director and head of research, CBRE
• Anne Ashworth – former award-winning editor of The Times: Bricks & Mortar and The Times Money
• Marc von Grundherr – director, Benham & Reeves
• Rachel Geddes – business principle, Mortgage Advice Bureau
• Ed McCoy – sales director, Barratt London

Topics will cover the benefits of buying new build properties, and of buying off-plan. The webinar will also explore current London investment opportunities at some of Barratt London’s leading developments, including High Street Quarter in Hounslow, New Market Place in East Ham, and No. 10 Watkin Road in Wembley.

The webinar will be recorded and uploaded to the Barratt London YouTube channel on Thursday morning for those wishing to tune in at a later date or from overseas territories.

Ed McCoy said: “Despite the uncertainty brought about by the pandemic, London property still represents a fantastic investment opportunity for long-term capital growth. The UK’s strong economic and political foundations have kept property up there as the best performing investment asset over the past 30 years, and we don’t envisage this changing any time soon.”

“Many of our Barratt London developments are situated in regeneration areas, which have huge potential for future uplift. For example, our Hendon Waterside development has experienced a 110% capital growth increase in the seven year period from 2012 to 2019, compared to the London average of 64% over the same timeframe [figures from CBRE]. We also have bespoke packages available for investors to help make the purchasing process as hassle-free as possible, from furnishings to finding tenants.”
