Why buy-to-let
Five reasons BTL outperforms
01
Capital Appreciation
UK property has averaged 6.1% annual growth over 40 years. Leverage amplifies that on equity.
02
Income
Steady monthly cash flow, net yields of 5-8% across our target regional cities.
03
Security
A tangible asset you can leverage or live in. Always a floor to the downside.
04
Inflation Hedge
Rental income rises with inflation, rents grew 8-10% UK-wide in 2022-24.
05
Diversification
Low correlation with equities and bonds, a portfolio stabiliser.
