What we do
At ArcInvest we believe that UK residential property continues to present a compelling opportunity for investors who adopt a targeted investment strategy.
Our model centres around a specific segment within the UK residential market, which consistently yields the most favourable returns - namely, traditional properties located in prime university cities.
This sector boasts the advantage of delivering substantial and reliable returns, due to escalating demand, limited property supply, and the enduring appeal of the UK's prestigious universities. It also provides a rare blend of reduced risk and stable returns.
Investing in this sector requires a specialised approach, in depth due diligence, and a depth of expertise - all of which we provide at ArcInvest.
UK residential property
The UK's demographic dynamics, cultural factors, and governmental policies serve as robust foundations for its residential property market. A well-documented housing shortage is prevalent in the UK, driven by population growth and increased life expectancy.
These factors collectively contribute to the strength of the UK's residential property market, making it an appealing prospect for investors seeking both stability and growth potential.
Market Resilience
Despite challenges, the UK's residential property market has historically demonstrated resilience. Property values in key areas have consistently shown long-term appreciation, making it an appealing option for investors looking for low-risk, stable returns.
Tenants
Students and emerging professionals play a pivotal role in driving economic growth and yielding attractive investment returns.
Within the United Kingdom, cities vary dramatically in terms of size, population, and economic potential, leading to opportunities in the residential property sector.
The average age of people buying their first home in the United Kingdom is 33, which is increasing the demand for good quality rental properties.
Types of property
Our primary focus revolves around classic Georgian and Victorian properties. Their historical pedigree often places them in the most sought-after city locations, thanks to their age and charm.
These houses typically boast generously proportioned rooms, which open up opportunities for conversions that can expand the number of bedrooms available. These attributes not only make them attractive options for renters, they also facilitate the process of increasing the rental yield.
Beyond their suitability for rental income, traditional properties also enjoy a history of consistently outperforming the market in terms of capital appreciation. Even during the global financial crisis, when newly constructed properties faced widespread repossession, these time-tested homes displayed remarkable resilience and remained relatively unaffected by the economic downturn.
