VALUE INVESTMENT
A term which is now being used quite frequently in the real estate marketplace is Value Investment. Value investing does not mean buying inexpensive property. Rather, value investment means buying a property at a good price with the expectation of rise in the value, which in turn means higher returns on investment. Like many smart strategies, of course, it's easier said than done. The key is to look for pointers - indicators that show the growth potential of an area. One such result of analysis is the Royal Bank of Scotland's First Time Buyer Property Index. This ranks Britain's post codes not only in terms of their affordability for first-time buyers, but also for their capital growth potential. By analyzing all of the factors affecting attractiveness and return on investment, RBS has identified the top 22 most desirable property hotspots.
