Soundbite Episode – Don’t be a Dodo! Spotting trends helps capitalise on or defend against changes on the property horizon…so what’s trending now?

Are you a trend-spotter…what is catching your eye right now? Even if we do not seek to capitalise on emerging trends, we may need to defend against them just in case. Don’t be a Dodo and become extinct is the unsaid warning we can glean from looking out for trends in property investment. There are at least two emerging alternatives to BTL that are doing the rounds with many professional property people right now. They are serviced accommodation and property partnerships. One new and one apparently not-so new concept here, although the latter has re-emerged of late due to some environmental factors as you shall hear.
