Hi Donald, There are some correlations in both the markets. Although the UK residential market is internationally driven by world macro economic and political factors and the London property market plays a big role in UK economics. The residential property scenario in U.K is the seller's forte. Due to a lack of available property on the market and an unstable share market there's been a steady increase in the price of the residential investment property for sale. The future for the London property- http://www.plazaestates.co.uk/properties-to-rent/information-for-tenants market does look bright. Experienced property investors will have their ears to the ground waiting for true signs that the London property market is heating up.

Some years ago a motorbike I owned was stolen and it ended up in the hands of a scrap metal type company who sent me a letter saying that they had found it and wanted to charge me rent for keeping on their property. This is a well know scam a long with various vehicle scrapping scams which the police don't seem to interested in dealing with. Theft is theft however it is disguised. With your situation it depends how much you earn I think. I suppose you should be administering your 'business' and dealing with the tax aspect but whether tax is due or not depends on your income. When I spoke to the police about the scam, they said the only thing you can do is contact the tax department. Companies like that are likely evading taxes also. The point is that unless someone grasses on you, no one will worry about it.

ISA's are possibly the best of a bad selection, free of tax, accessible, nil to low growth with Cash ISA's (discounting introductory offers), better choice exists with Stocks & Shares ISA's with the economies of the world stabilising.

I would have advise you contact Mr Benson Leo the CEO of Queen Loan company for this. It is a better ideal. You can contact them at: Queenloancompany@aol.com

Hi there, Without knowing your exact circumstances it is difficult to give any definitive advice, but, to give some guidance, here is a summary of some the different types of cover. Term assurance - this is the most common type of life cover, and provides a lum sum benefit (sum assured) on the death of the life assured during the term of the policy. The sum assured remains level throughout the term. Decreasing term assurance - as above, but the sum assured decreases over the term, usually to protect a mortgage. Family income benefit - this is the cheapest option, and provides an income for the term of policy on the death of the life assured. This type of policy is particularly useful to provide protection for a new family, as the term can be set to coincide with when the child reaches 21 for instance. It can also be used "in trust" to provide an income to a guardian should both parents die. Critical illness cover - this an additional benefit, that can be added to the above policies. It pays out the sum assured if the life assured contracts one of the specified "critical illnesses", such as cancer, heart attach, stroke, MS, total and permanent disability etc. Please feel free to call us to discuss in more detail, or visit our website for a free quote - http://pks.org.uk Kind regards Paul Skinner PKS - Mortgage & Insurance Experts T: 0845 226 5009 E: paul.skinner@pks.org.uk

Hi David, There are prime locations such as Mayfair, Kensington, Marylebone and Marble Arch where you would get good transportation facilities, required amenities and these areas are highly secure too. These areas have seen something of revival in the past few years, with many new constructions of flats and apartments. You should conduct an accommodation search through real estate agents to facilitate your purchase. For example Plaza Estates can provide you complete information about rentals as well as apartments for sale in every area of the city.

Hi David, According to figures of the real estate firms around 54 percent of people say that they would need to borrow money in order to put down any sort of deposit to buy flats in London. With a typical entry level property costing around £250,000, this would mean having to find £32,500 - in addition to stamp duty, legal fees and removal costs. For the average London property - now more than £350,000 - the deposit would be £45,500, plus £10,500 in stamp duty.

Hello Mancuso, London property agent charges often lack transparency and there is great variation. Their charges mainly depend on the area you choose. Also their reputation matters a lot, with around 20% of agents refusing to disclose their fees over the phone or via email. Only a few select agencies disclose their charges on their website. The survey also found that estate agent fees here are the highest in the country. Sellers are paying on average almost £7,000 in fees including VAT based on the average property price of £342,749 as well.

Hi, Recently, when I was searching for property in London, I came across a website Plazaestates.co.uk where I found a great many properties for sale and rental purposes as well. They provide multiple listing services to their clients that might help in selling your home, if you live there.

Yes, assuming you have sufficient income and deposit, and have not had any credit problems in the past. Obviously the term of the mortgage might be shorter than usual due to your age, which might make the cost prohibitive. Paul Skinner T: 0845 226 5009 Http://pks.org.uk
