Had you been thinking of investing in property before the Credit Crunch ?

Have you been put off by the media portrayal of a property crash?

Like many property investors I have seen drops in the values of some of my properties but have also seen massive benefits with the falling interest rates & therefore monthly profits.

Prices in the UK have on average dropped ( and I mean ON AVERAGE) by around 12% since the peak of late 2007 but when you consider that the FTSE 500 ( ie pensions) has dropped by over 30% during 2008 then I'm happy that property is still my main investment vehicle.

Heres an example that confirms this view from my own portfolio

Property purchased for £60,000 in 2000

Valued at £135,000 in late 2007

Current Value £135,000 minus 12% drop = £118,800

So even with the drop in value I still doubled my investment not to mention the profits from rents.

Also, when you consider the poor interest rates being offered to savers from the banks you can see why so many people are still putting their money into property (including me).

Infact the slogan on the back of our work sweatshirts is " Rather be Investing than Saving " which sums up my views entirely.

We currently have over 50 properties available (some with heavy discounts) across the North East of England and now really is the time to grab a bargain.
