Investment strategy
Capital Growth Opportunities
Property in locations where the longer-term case rests on value appreciation as well as rent.
What capital growth opportunities means
Capital growth focused purchases accept a lower initial yield in exchange for a stronger longer-term ownership case, often near transport improvements or regeneration areas.
Who it may suit
Investors with a longer horizon who do not depend on the property for near-term income.
What Westwood looks for
- Infrastructure, transport and regeneration context that is already committed rather than rumoured
- Areas where owner-occupier demand supports values, not just rental demand
- Property types that appeal to future buyers as well as tenants
Key considerations
- Future values cannot be predicted and past growth is not a guide
- Lower initial yields leave less headroom if rates rise
How we present the numbers
- Entry price against local comparable evidence
- Rent shown as a hold-cost position
All figures are estimates prepared from local evidence and are subject to your own due diligence, survey and valuation. We do not guarantee returns and we do not provide financial, tax, legal or investment advice.
