Property is recognised as the best class of investment asset.
Here is the detail to why.

Property is the world’s best class of asset.
A big statement to make but it is something that we have always believed in when personally started investing 34 years ago.
That was well before property was recognised or discussed as a wealth creator by the masses.
It gives:
- Capital growth.
- Tangible asset
- Monthly residual income
A constant message from us to you has always been and as highlighted in our last blog, supply is greater that demand and that will not change.

Also, the icing on the cake is how property compares against other factors and assets.
Since 2000:
Property
- Average UK house price: £88,000 → £330,000
- +257% Growth (Savills)
Inflation
- £1 is now £2.16
- +116% cumulative (3.1%/yr) (Official Data)
Savings accounts
- Typically 1 to 3% over time
- Often below inflation
So in real terms:
- Savings : barely preserved wealth (often lost it)
- Inflation : has doubled prices
- Property : more than tripled in value
And that’s before you even factor in:
Rental income
- 4-8%+ annual yield
- → Increasing ahead of inflation
So while cash sits still…
Property is:
✔ Beating inflation
✔ Generating income and while you sleep
✔ The power of compounded over time
