Risk

It is very difficult to gauge how risky investing in property is. Many people have heard horror stories of ‘Negative Equity’ and this puts them off investing at all. It is important that you consider the facts, spending time to develop your own opinion, and don’t make assumptions based on what you’ve heard other people say in conversation about the housing market. Spending too much time reading what the newspapers have to say on the market can send you crazy - if you wait until they tell you the time is right you’ll never get anywhere.

Investing in property carries risks – don’t take advice from anyone who tells you otherwise. It is up to you to carefully assess these risks before you decide what your strategy will be. One of the beautiful things about property is that your investment has an underlying asset - that’s why the banks will happily lend you money to buy it. They know full well that if everything goes wrong, you can sell the property recover any losses.
