The cogs are turning....

Whilst our politicians continue to pursue different tactics, which appear to be causing more problems than solutions it would seem, thankfully we see the door creaking open in England permitting the residential market to re-open for business whilst maintaining social distancing....

Allowing the residential markets to begin cautiously opening up is a step in the right direction. In the commercial property world, whilst many landlords are currently focussing their efforts on income maintenance, some are continuing to invest further into strong income returns. Our markets are open, with some of the notable deals concluding being sale and leaseback transactions. Investors are securing attractive long term leases from covenants they are both familiar and comfortable with (despite the fact they are clearly focussed on a capital raising initiative).

We will see increased levels of activity as sellers and buyers will realise that, by engaging more with technology we can continue to market properties, permit viewings and allow building surveys to happen so we can get deals done and keep the cogs turning…..

Whilst people are widely discussing a deep recession this year with a strong bounce back next year we are ultimately in the hands of the scientists globally….

When it comes to property what we have to remember is to play the long game. If we continue to invest in better quality assets, maintain a lower leveraged strategy and work with experienced partners the relative performance of property will continue to look very attractive and particularly in this low interest rate and perhaps long term inflationary environment…

We would be happy to discuss in further detail your investment requirements…stay safe and stay positive….
