The 3 Biggest Mistakes: New Property Investors Make (And How to Avoid Them)

Many people jump into property investment in the UK without understanding the risks.

Here are the three biggest mistakes new investors make:

Not Doing Proper Market Research – Buying in the wrong location can kill your returns. Always check rental demand, local employment rates, regeneration projects, and property price trends before investing.
Underestimating Costs – It’s not just about the mortgage. Factor in stamp duty, maintenance, management fees, and potential void periods. Always have a financial buffer to cover unexpected expenses.
Overleveraging with Bad Financing – Just because you can borrow doesn’t mean you should. A bad mortgage deal with high interest rates or short fixed terms can affect your profits. Work with a specialist mortgage broker to secure the best financing.

📌 Takeaway: Property investment is a long-term game. Do your due diligence, understand your numbers, and finance your deals wisely to build a profitable portfolio.
