Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the housing market has soared - the highest in 17 years in fact! Naturally, this has got potential investors wondering, is now the best time to invest in property? If so, where is the best location to start investing?
As a result of the pandemic, a lot of working tenants saw themselves working remotely and now with many organisations offering to continue this afterwards, we are seeing a lot of people start to move to more rural locations rather than continue to live in cities closer to work. With the national lockdown affecting everyone, there are also a number of people who are now wanting to move closer to family and go back to their roots after moving away for work. Tenants who are residing in flats in city centres also saw the downside to not having any outdoor space and are now looking for properties with this facility and due to reduced commuting, are looking further afield where they can get more space for their money. With the lack of rental properties available in the South Wales Valleys at the moment, there is a huge demand for more, with properties being let agreed quicker than ever with long term tenants.
All of this is great news for investors and the lettings market in the South Wales Valleys. Prices for properties may have risen but are still considerably lower here compared to surrounding cities and we are currently seeing a huge demand for rental properties.
