When buying the perfect property there is a lot to consider before putting your 10% deposit down, e.g. “can I see myself living here for the foreseeable future?” This is what you would think if you were buying the property for yourself to live in. But if you are purchasing for investment purposes you would think, “What would I gain from purchasing here?”
Staying ahead of the investment curve can be difficult due to the delays to the Elizabeth train like and the status of Brexit constantly being uncertain making things extra challenging, but the City of London has plenty of exciting pockets where regeneration is already well underway, making for excellent investment property purchase opportunities.
Here are a couple of areas of London, which will be excellent for an investment purchase.
Poplar
Poplar has been known as the “Ugly Duckling” of East London. This is due to Poplar not being the calmest or having limited greenery, however, the area is developing and improving. Due to the DLR line, this is easily commutable into Central London or Canary Wharf/Bank for work, improvements to primary & secondary schools, along with access to many top universities, e.g. 16 minute drive to Greenwich University. Poplar’s building pipeline includes 3,000 flats both in new buildings and revived brutalist landmarks, including new shops, businesses & parks. Homes are on offers for renting, buying and first time buyers who need subsidised homes.
