When buying an investment property, your ultimate goal will be to sell the property in future in order to realise a capital gain; so you are primarily looking for an investment that will be saleable in future.
When you buy a home, it is largely a more emotional decision to choose something that ‘feels right’ that you can call a home and of secondary concern is how much the property will sell for in future.
Assessing a property should include looking at factors such as location, amenities, population growth, transport, desirability and future location planning.
Seeking professional advice can help you to ensure you are making a sound investment decision and not an emotional one; an adviser can help keep you focused on looking at the hard data that will lead to a successful investment choice.
