Buy-to-let insurance holders could benefit from investing in houses along the river Thames, an expert asserts.
Nicholas Leeming, director of propertyfinder.com, claims properties in these positions can attract a considerable level of interest and remain popular.
He highlights the importance of location to buy-to-let insurance holders, suggesting there are areas of prime residential land along the riverbanks which can retain their value better than other London sites.
Recommending buyers identify properties with strong transport links and amenities, he says these will hold their worth for longer than houses acquired in more peripheral locations.
Mr Leeming states: "Properties on the waterfront often have the advantage of panoramic views and so can attract considerable interest."
While suggesting that buy-to-let insurance owners will not be immune from over-supply issues, he says there remain strong deals to be done in this area.
Timothy Lambert, sales and marketing manager at Ducalian, claims landlords with insurance are returning to the property market as a source of long-term investments.
