Rightmove’s latest First-Time Buyer Report forecasts a marginal rise in prospective first-time buyer levels for the year ahead, but also finds evidence of a new hurdle on the path to home-ownership as a lack of choice increases the difficulty in finding a suitable property to buy.
The proportion of buyers who intend to purchase their first home over the next year has edged up to 24.3%, up 1.4% on last quarter and 1.5% year-on-year.
Our property investment consultants act solely on behalf of our clients to provide impartial and objective advice on the purchase of buy-to-let investment property, unlike estate agents whose main duty of care remains with the seller.
An investment property is not a liquid asset and our clients are in it for the long haul. Choosing the right property in the right location, as well as being fully aware of your responsibilities as a landlord, is vital to ensure success. There is no margin for error and mistakes will be costly.
With a high degree of local knowledge combined with in depth expertise, we recommend only the most exceptional buying opportunities. We have close links with local estate agents and developers allowing us to identify suitable properties before they even reach the open market.
With the support of our lettings, property management and asset management departments we are the only Oxfordshire company able to offer a full service from initial search right through to eventual disposal.
"We would probably never have been able to buy a property in Oxford if it had not been for the excellent services provided by scottfraser - from the initial purchase, to maintenance and letting - it's proved to be an excellent, worry free investment."
