A well-balanced investment portfolio can include property investments
Investing in property can offer potential benefits and advantages, depending on your financial goals and circumstances.
Investing in property?
There are various routes to property investment, from bricks and mortar to property shares
Including exposure to property in your investment portfolio can be reached in a number of ways.
Investing in ‘bricks and mortar’ through buying property can give you a regular income stream as well as capital growth over the medium to long term. But this type of investment is relatively ‘illiquid’, meaning you can’t always easily access your money at short notice. And the risks include market volatility, maintenance costs, and potential vacancies.
Another way to invest in property is to include Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in your portfolio. These offer exposure to the property market without direct ownership.

Which option?
How to include property in your portfolio depends on your goals. We can help you decide
-
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
REITs allow you to invest in property without owning physical assets. They provide exposure to real estate markets and offer dividends from rental income and capital gains.
-
Buy-to-let investment properties
This involves purchasing a property with the intention of renting it out to tenants. Rental income can provide a steady cash flow, and property values may appreciate over time.
