Investing in residential property has become well and truly established in recent years. Volatile share and bond markets have simply underlined the inherent strengths of bricks and mortar for long term investment.
To many private equity investors and wealth managers however, the residential property investment market has failed to offer a fully integrated advisory service to match their long term objectives. The process of sourcing an opportunity, realising any potential added value and focused asset management over the long term have been too fragmented.
Obbard provide the co-ordinated and fully integrated discipline that investors and financial advisors seek.
Residential property investment requires a degree of intensive management that reflects the constant variables and movements in this fast changing sector. It is the very nature of the residential property market that creates value added opportunities. In return it requires a discipline and focus throughout the entire investment process.
Obbard's process and integrated approach, where all key disciplines are handled internally, provide the solution for private and corporate investors alike who recognise the substantial opportunities that the residential sector offers.
As the Government introduces changes to the SIPPS rules, which will soon allow residential property to be held as part of a personal pension plan, the residential investment sector is set to see significant changes.
Personal finance and wealth management
Few can have failed to notice the growth in residential property investment over the past decade. There have been many contributing factors behind this, not least the advent of buy-to-let finance offered by banks, the increased volatility in equities markets that has seen supposed blue chip names fall from grace and of course the significant returns from residential property over the past 30 years.
The great majority are now looking to own an investment property as part of a balanced and well diversified portfolio. Private bankers and IFA's have tended to by-pass the residential sector, leaving their clients to deal with this themselves.
The forthcoming changes in the SIPPS rules is expected to unlock a flood of interest in a sector that most investors feel they can genuinely understand and relate to.
