The black, the white and the grey of purchasing new build property

The UK property market is changing and as investors we need to change with it.

The market cycles. Lending criteria change. Rates change and legislation changes. The whole market evolves and unless we evolve with it we potentially risk using structures that are now frowned upon, or in the worst case, are now illegal.

The UK property market is maturing a lot faster than the Australian market that I was watching carefully in the 90’s. Frankly, I’m impressed at the rate of change and I think it’s a positive step each time we remove the various loopholes that exist which put investors at risk either because of their own level of education or because they feel that it’s OK to bend the rules.

I always say that the spectrum of structures when purchasing a property runs from the white through the grey and definitely into the black.
