• Location is always the top priority in property investment. Private property in a good location, near amenities like transport nodes, business parks, shopping complexes and good schools, always commands higher prices. It is also easy to find tenants to lease to for rental income.
• One should also consider whether the property is freehold or leasehold. However, freehold properties come with a premium.
