03 GOLDMINE AREAS FOR INVESTMENT READING READING

Reading was recently voted one of the top ten cities for investment according to the Financial Times and it’s no surprise, due to its connectivity, business environment, education and employment. The town provides a great marketplace for all types of property investment, particularly HMOs due to the professional clientele requiring rooms close to the town centre and train links to London. Reading is only 25 minutes to London Paddington and over 200 trains a day link Reading’s new £800 million station with London. The new Crossrail project will also link London directly with the heart of the city and offer direct trains into London’s Liverpool Street station. Two large business parks situated in the town, housing major global corporations such as Microsoft, Cisco, BG Group, Oracle, Prudential, Foster Wheeler and many more, resulting in strong levels of employment and one of the highest average earnings outside the capital. As well as this, Reading also offers outstanding education with some excellent public and private schools, as well as a wide range of social attractions. A new development is due to increase demand for people looking to move to Reading. Green Park Village is set to create more than 700 homes, a new primary school, a proposed new rail station and plenty of local amenities. With the new announcement of changes to Stamp Duty legislation, now is a great time to invest in this vibrant town. As a result of the new legislation, early indications suggest that the rental market in Reading will react to these changes with continued rental price rises.

The town already boasts a thriving pharmaceutical and telecommunications industry, with companies such as 3, Glaxo SmithKline and Adobe’s HQ located in the town, as well as neighbouring the largest industrial estate in Europe, the Slough Trading Estate.

Maidenhead is located within close proximity to London, located off junction 9 of the M4. It is classed as an affluent and upmarket place to live, with rental prices reflecting this. The significant increase in demand and limited supply of rented accommodation, has led to a sharp rise in rental prices and Investors experiencing little to no void periods.

As part of the Maidenhead town regeneration, a number of projects are taking place that will increase desirability of property in the town. One major project is The Waterways, which will create 240 executive apartments, 3,000sqm of offices space, boutique shops and restaurants in colonnaded walkways, plus an open air amphitheatre next to the library. Another project due to be completed in 2019/20, is The Landing. Plans include 5,000sqm of shops, 36,000sqm of offices in two headquarters office buildings and 200 homes in four highclass apartment blocks around a central meeting space with cafes and restaurants.
