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.
