The UK property market is renowned for its resilience and long-term stability. Throughout the most recent impacts of the Covid pandemic, Brexit, and various other financial and political turbulence, demand in the UK housing sector has remained strong. Property continues to be seen as one of the more stable asset classes compared with stocks and bonds, which can see greater fluctuations and more unpredictable outcomes.
In order to provide further stability, many property investors ensure that they diversify their portfolios as much as possible, to spread the risk and provide more certainty. This might involve investing in multiple locations to benefit from the varying performance across housing markets in the long-term. Branching out when it comes to property type or target tenant can also be successful, with options including traditional buy-to-let, build-to-rent, houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), and short-term rentals.
