Management of UK Property

In general SIPS take the view that if you own a UK property and intend residing abroad then you should retain a property in the UK. There are various ways that this can be supported – see Relocation, Property Finance and Full Tenant Management pages.

Why retain a property in the UK

• Investment - potential capital growth on 2 properties (U.K and abroad).
• Retains a property in the U.K to which you can return if residing abroad does not work out.
• The U.K property market is unique with average U.K house prices having risen by 176% over last 10 years (Halifax B.S.), which could make it unaffordable to buy property back in the U.K at a later date.
• Average house prices 1995:  £61,544
• Average house prices 2005:  £169,901
• Home ownership culture – demand outstrips supply.
• Considered to provide consistent returns over the long term
