As the buying season gets into full swing, we look at the must-attend autumn event for those interested in investment property.
More and more people dream of making money through property – and whether you’re looking for a quick buck or a longer-term investment vehicle, bricks and mortar has proven in recent years to be the best means to a good return. With the recent cut in interest rates and prices at a competitive level, the current buyers’ market means it is an ideal time to snap up a bargain. But where is the investor to find the right buy? That’s where the Property Investor Show comes in. Aimed at both budding and established investors, the Property Investor Show is an ideal forum for anyone interested in property. Held at London’s ExCeL Centre, it is the largest event of its kind, providing information on everything from investing in the UK and abroad, to financing a property and this year’s hot topic, Self Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs).
This year’s exhibition boasts over 200 exhibitors, including top house builders, estate agents, lenders and brokers, solicitors, surveyors and other leading property experts from throughout the UK and overseas. Over the three days there will also be more than 100 expert seminars covering topics such as international property, risk and reward from property investment, and diversifying your portfolio for commercial and overseas property.
With SIPPs rules set to change in April to allow a residential property portfolio to be counted towards a person’s pension fund, many of us would like to know more about the ins and outs of this new policy and how it can benefit us. And many of the show’s exhibitors will be able to offer advice on how best to invest pension funds in residential property in the UK and overseas. ‘SIPPs are the biggest bandwagon in the property and personal finance sectors,’ says Stuart Law, managing director of Assetz, the UK’s leading investment specialist, who will be exhibiting at the show. ‘And this inevitably leads to a lot of people trying to get involved who don’t fully understand the area.’
Now is a perfect time to invest, trade up, expand your portfolio or get a first foot on the property ladder. And with so many industry experts on hand, there is no better place to do your research and understand what the future holds than at the Property Investor Show, to be held Friday 23 to Sunday 25 September at ExCeL in London Docklands.
