In anticipation of the Hoxton Capital property portal that we are aiming to launch in the near future, we have put together a collection of some of the fantastic property investment opportunities we will be showcasing.
Now is a great time to be looking at certain parts of the UK for property investments, and with interest rates at an all time low it is also a great time to be getting a mortgage.
Our sister company Britannia Global Property, has put together some of their most popular opportunities:
GREATER MANCHESTER
Manchester’s population is growing rapidly, and faster than the national average. It also benefits from a large student population, with around 20,000 deciding to remain in Manchester after graduating each year. Helped by this high proportion of graduates remaining after their studies, Manchester’s population is one of the youngest in the country, with around 60% living in the city aged between the 25 and 30.
The city centre population is forecast to grow by 125,000 by 2025, a number that will put severe pressure on the ability of the local authority and house builders to keep pace with demand for new homes.
