Why Invest in Off-Plan City Centre Apartments?

Off-plan investments let you buy property before or during its construction phase, often at prices lower than the market value once completed. This means you can lock in a lower price and benefit from the property’s natural appreciation as it gets built.
 

The UK’s economic stability, improving mortgage rates, and growing buyer confidence have revitalised the housing market. Investing in off-plan properties, especially in thriving city centres like Manchester, Birmingham, and Bristol, offers a great opportunity. These cities are experiencing long term growth, making them ideal for investments with potential for high returns and increased property values.
 

FOBEA’s curated off-plan investments capture high capital growth potential to boost your investment portfolio’s performance and growth. With our comprehensive management in these key areas, we are able to project rental yields whether AST or STL and provide an optimum strategy for your investment.
