Frequently asked questions about UK property investment

What is capital appreciation?

In property, capital appreciation happens as the property becomes more valuable over time. Reasons for property values increasing over time include an increased demand in the area, economic growth, transport improvements, regeneration projects, supply and demand imbalance and inflation.

What is freehold?

Buying a freehold property means you will own the property and the land it sits on. In the UK, freehold is considered the most complete form of property ownership.

What is Landlord Insurance, and is it mandatory?

Landlord insurance covers you for the risks and costs associated with owning rental properties. It could cover you for legal liabilities, property damage and loss of income. In today’s market, while tenant demand is strong, landlords face many challenges. Regulatory changes, landlord taxes, and economic conditions can make juggling costs and expenses a constant balancing act. Landlord insurance isn’t mandatory. However, it can offer protection for anyone who rents out properties.

What is leasehold?

Buying a leasehold property means you will own the property for a fixed number of years, and the land is owned by a freeholder (landlord). Common in apartments, owners may be expected to pay ground rent, service charges and maintenance fees.

What is Loan-to-Value (LTV) in buy-to-let investing?

Loan-to-Value (LTV) is the percentage of a property's purchase price or market value that you borrow as a mortgage. For example, if you buy a rental property for £200,000 with a £50,000 deposit (25%) and a £150,000 mortgage (75%), your LTV is 75%.

What is Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA)?

PBSA which stands for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation, is housing designed, built, and managed specifically for college and university students. These properties are usually run by professional private companies and are very popular in major university towns and cities.
