Angel, M.
Houses bear fruit - 2004 - Estates Gazette (0421) 22 May 2004, 143-144(2) .
Asserts that investment in residential property including rental property has been very profitable for those who get the timing right. Residential investment has seen tremendous growth since the introduction of the Housing Act 1988. Looks at the effects of long-term low interest rates on the housing market, the advantages of buy-to-let investment and the favourable performance of residential property investment compared to equities. Concludes that residential sector investment will grow with the likely advent of property investment funds, changes in the pension rules, and increased public confidence. Because residential property can be sold or let, the sector offers much greater flexibility than the commercial property sector. A table shows house prices versus income from 1979-2003.
