    SHOJIN PROEPRTY PARTNERS LAUNCHES LATEST CROWDFUNDING OPPORTUNITY IN SOUTHEND-ON-SEA

    Hi @PostBrexitInvestor We have been noticing this trend for a while. What has happened lately is that the FCA has clamped down on Crowdfunding organisation to ensure that they comply with FCA regulations. Many of them have closed but there is still a long way to go. There are two types of...

    Is Student property still a good place to invest?

    Hi @diyhelp Spreading your risk across multiple assets is a good way to diversify your risk and your portfolio. This is what a lot of HNW investors do to diversify. However, if you are just starting out or trying to build a portfolio, you don't necessarily have large sums of money to diversify...

    Is Student property still a good place to invest?

    Considering the current economically & pollical situation in the country, I think that Student Accommodation is a great investment opportunity. Once Bexit goes ahead, we expect the Sterling to see a slight dip in value which means that it would be cheaper for foreign student to study in England...

    WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO INVEST IN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

    @Longterminvestor That is happening already in the Buy to Let sector. The government wants to standardise and control the property sector. With the recent tax changes, it is no longer viable to invest in buy to let anymore. This is pushing out the accidental landlords and mom and pop buy to let...

    WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO INVEST IN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

    As a student accommodation landlord, I think it would be prudent to work with universities as there is a shortage of accommodation in some cities. However, I believe that universities and government are looking to standardise and institutionalise the property sector. They want it to be...

    WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO INVEST IN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

    @Longterminvestor We have identified this as a sector with good growth potential next year and is an area that we will be looking at to try and help property developers.

    WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO INVEST IN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

    If Brexit is the 'doom and gloom' the masses are talking about then that means that more and more people will go to university because there is uncertainty in the market. The UCIS have already confirmed an increase of 3.1% in applications compared to previous years. In the short term, it is...

    WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO INVEST IN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

    Manchester is not only a great Student town but it is also one of the bigger metros in the UK. However in recent years, there has been a lot of construction works taking place in the city which has resulted in some developments struggling to be filled. In my opinion, I think there is a lot of...

    WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO INVEST IN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

    Research shows that student numbers are on the increase year on year. Despite Brexit next year, the UK is seeing an increase from students from all over the world and if GBP drops next year due to uncertainty, it would be even cheaper for parents to send their children to University in the UK...

    WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO INVEST IN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

    Since 2011, student accommodation has become a popular investment sector with increasing student numbers, fixed rental returns and an easy-to-understand concept. Today, Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) in the UK continues to tempt wealthy investors and sovereign wealth funds. The UK...

    Shojin Celebrate Milestones & 1 year in Property Crowdfunding

    I agree 100% with the above. I think that we must not get fixated on the 'Brexit Doomsday' but rather look at this as a long-term opportunity. The market is cooling and with Buy to Let landlords offloading their properties at an alarming rate, there are opportunities out there. As mentioned...

    Shojin Celebrate Milestones & 1 year in Property Crowdfunding

    The current uncertainty will scare many people off, and that creates opportunities. Funding is currently available for investment purposes and it's worth investing in high yielding property with good growth potential. Naturally, I would also add that it's better to do this through a Crowdfunded...

    SHOJIN PROPERY PARTNERS’ LATEST CROWDFUNDED DEVELOPMENTS RAISE £1.63M

    I think that there is a lot of uncertainty at the moment. @PostBrexitInvestor you are correct in saying that it is more affordable for foreign investors to invest in the UK, however they have had nearly two years of these prices. It will be interesting to see what happens as we approach the...
