The Buy To Let Property Podcast from Lifestyle Property People

From strong rental yields and stable appreciation to the protection of investor rights, we can understand why many foreign investors are flocking to the UK to invest their money in property. But for overseas buyers, navigating the UK property market can be a challenge, with the potential time zone differences, communication barriers, and unfamiliarity with the UK property market nuances. We recently met up with our client Amar in sunny Mexico, who like many expats, understood the benefits of investing in the UK property market but couldn’t be on the ground to get it up and running. Listen to our latest episode as he reveals why he chose to invest in the Leeds property market and how by choosing to invest with a property sourcing company like ours, he was able to keep roots in the UK and invest in a property that is creating long term security for his future.
