Brexit Result Makes it an Ideal Time to Invest in the UK Property Market

MANCHESTER, England, June 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Following the result of the UK European Union referendum the value of the Great British Pound dropped sharply, to a level not seen for the last three decades. While financial analysts are considering the wider implications of the results, Direct Airport Parking Investment's view is that it's good news for investors, in particular overseas investors, who have been considering the buy-to-let option of off-airport car parking.

Airport car parking at some of the UK´s busiest and fastest growing airports is a solid, proven low risk opportunity offering both rental income and capital growth.

Direct Airport Parking Investment feels that the result announced last Friday (24 June) for the UK to leave the European Union will lead to many overseas investors eyeing UK property investments more favourably.

Britain is now able to reassert itself in global markets and renegotiate on its own terms. It is likely the pound will continue to decline in the short term but this makes the UK more attractive to overseas investors who will no doubt take advantage of this situation in a way similar to that after the last financial crisis.

If other EU members follow Britain's lead, in the longer term, it will encourage investors to look again at the UK and could see EU citizens relocate here and British expats return. Demand for London property still remains strong and the city is likely to continue dominating as a global capital.

Peter Tomlinson, Senior Investment Consultant at Direct Airport Parking Investment, said, "The pound is now as low as it has been for over 30 years which makes it the perfect time to invest in UK buy-to-let property, particularly for overseas investors. Interest rates remain low, boosting the attraction of investing in UK commercial property at the current time."
