If you're planning to move permanently to South Africa, then it may be a good time to sell up. House prices in the UK are very high at the moment, and there's no guarantee they'll stay that way. Also, releasing funds might come in very useful to help you start your new life/career. What I wouldn't recommend is selling it and investing it all in property in South Africa, given that you presumably are unfamiliar with the market there.

On the other hand, you need to figure out the economics of renting it out - would this actually provide you with a useful regular income, or would you merely be covering your expenses? Do you know someone trustworthy (perhaps family) who can keep an eye on it, let you know if the area is "going downhill", etc, or will you have to rely completely on a letting agency? Can you afford for it to be empty if you lose a tenant?

I live in France and for the time being have kept my property in the UK, but I have the opportunity (which I don't always take, of course) to visiting the area 2 or 3 times a year, and in any case it's in a very stable suburban area.

Now is not an ideal time to sell, but if the property is priced right you will have a good chance of selling it.

Inventory is at all time highs, while interest rates are near historic lows. This creates a buyer's market.

That being said... the nice thing about selling now, is that we know what the market is doing now. We do not know what might happen in the Real Estate Market in the future. The market may continue to decline.

Thanks,

In the long run real estate prices are going up, so only sell if you have no other source or funds...

If your moving country i'd sell it , the money will stretch a lot further in South Africa.


AndyPandy
You have to do your sums.
If you could keep it as an investment and get a good rental you could use it as an income while you get settled
Good Luck for your future


Price is what you pay for value.

If you are leaving the country, sell it. It is costly to hire a management company to look after your property.

If you can afford to pay the mortgage on your own, then don't sell yet. Refinance it and use whatever cash you'll get to buy him out. However, since you're moving, sell and just use it to start your new business. Good Luck!

Hi

Depends how much you need the funds, I would consider letting the property as your investment will probably increase approx 10% per year on average ( depends where you stay ).

If you could handle it I would hold off selling right now...at least in the USA the rates are bad and the market is slow...so you can possibly earn more $$$$ by hilding off if you can rent your flat for a year or two till things get better...if not sell to highest bidder!!Good Luck in SA with new chance !!


Keira
If you really need funds then go ahead and sell but if you are unsure how long you will be in South Africa and would like to have a home to come back to one day (as you could always rent it out) then don't sell.

no, start ur business there in the uk ur chances r better

House prices are a matter of supply and demand and like every "investment" prices can go up or down.

Factors to consider include
1> The ratio of average house prices to average income is
very high at present.
2> British interest rates will continue to rise as we try to stem inflationary expectations.

We aren't allowing too many new houses to be built.
We have a lot of "much needed" immigration from Eastern Europe. They need housing especially in the South East.

It's nobodys decision but yours and South Africas housing market is hot too so get your crystal ball out.
