UK remains best option for property investment — Baron & Cabot

Leading UK property investment company, Baron & Cabot has urged Nigerians to take advantage of UK’s friendly real estate law and invest in properties, adding that the country is one of the best options to consider in terms of property investment.

Speaking with selected journalists in Lagos at the weekend, founder and Managing Director of Baron of the property investment firm, Mark Pearson said it is wise for Nigerians to invest in properties somewhere they will not need to think of inflation and in addition, will get adequate returns on their investment.

“There are multiple benefits when you invest in UK property, one of them is inflation, you know that when you buy the property in Nigeria, rent it out and make a profit in naira. When the money is converted to the dollar or pounds, you lose money because of inflation.

“With £50,000 to £200,000 you can start your UK property investment. Within three to five years, based on your mortgage plan, you will be looking at double your return. With that, you will be looking at using that return to buy another property.

According to him, a great opportunity presented by the UK is that foreigners can legally buy the property or have banks offer favourable mortgage terms for investment.

He said investing in UK property helps Nigerians and other African investors to raise their investment against inflation because it is one of the stable and oldest property markets and well established.

“This investment platform gives Africans an opportunity to invest in property with ease and without limitations. Thus, while seeking to invest in property, Baron & Cabot stands out to be the paramount property investment organization that an investor can trust throughout the investment process.”

Speaking further, Pearson explained that the presence of Baron & Cabot in Nigeria and Kenya has greatly impacted property investment and sourcing in the UK, thus creating more options for investors.

Also speaking at the media interaction section, James Walsh, Sales Manager explained that buying properties in the UK gives investors the ability to predict because of the country’s economic stability.
