A well-managed property portfolio can provide a sturdy and reliable stream of income and could contribute significantly towards your long-term financial health. So, if you’re ready to add another property to your portfolio, now is the time to do so. As we head into a fresh new year, here are some of the key reasons for investing in property in 2025:

Growth forecasted

If you’re asking yourself: ‘Why should I invest in the UK property market?’ You only need to look at 2025’s outlook for your answer. According to Statista, the rental market is on track for growth of nearly 21% by 2028.*

Since 2021, rental growth has gained substantial momentum, with March 2024 witnessing the highest annual growth in a decade.* This trend reflects the complex dynamics between rising mortgage rates, constrained housing affordability, and a limited supply of rental properties.

Supply shortages

Despite recent improvements, the rental property market continues to face supply shortages. Although the number of available rental homes has increased by 18% compared to last year, there are still 24% fewer properties available than before the pandemic.**

This persistent shortage leaves renters with fewer options and heightened competition for available homes. For property investors, this represents a prime opportunity. If you have a solid understanding of the market and experience in property investment, now is an excellent time to expand your portfolio, not only to capitalise on strong demand but also to help address the ongoing supply challenges.

High demand

Demand for rental properties is expected to remain strong throughout 2025, driven by a combination of factors. While supply shortages are a significant contributor, the lack of affordable housing for potential buyers is also a major influence. The consistent upward trajectory in house prices will make homeownership less attainable for many, further increasing the demand for rental accommodations. As a result, property investors may expect sustained demand and potentially higher rental yields in the coming years.*

Just completed upon my mum’s bungalow in Horbury Wakefield. This was a complex sale (Shared Ownership Scheme) involving Landlord, their Solicitors & Managing Agents working in conjunction with my Solicitors and the Purchasers Solicitors. It was extremely challenging and demanding but was successfully orchestrated and managed by their Senior Property Consultant Mandy Bennett based in their Ossett Agency. We fully recognise and appreciate this was only achieved through the hard work and persistence of Mandy supported by her fellow colleagues in the local area. We were always kept up to date at all stages and would highly recommend Richard Kendall’s Estate Agents. Steve 15/04/2025
From the outset it was a privilege to converse with Karen Marijewko. She made the whole process very straightforward. The Richard Kendall software system updating me regularly with viewings was extremely good. Overall a simple, clear and efficient process. Highly recommend this company and Karen. Mr Snow 15/04/2025
We would like to thank Catherine and Shireen for working so hard in our selling/buying. They were so knowledgeable, polite and extremely helpful. They gave us lots of support. All the other staff were helpful too, especially Margaret. Thank you so much. Kind regards, Sue and Keith. Sue 15/04/2025
Excellent service. Can't rate Leah enough at Ossett branch. She went above and beyond to get our completion through before the end March. Alan 15/04/2025
Richard Kendall Estate Agents guided us through a tough buyer’s market when other agents pushed us to drastically lower our property’s price. Despite our urgency to sell, they advised against a steep reduction, suggesting a modest drop instead. Their insight—that finding the right buyer takes time—proved spot-on. Within a week of the adjustment, a couple fell in love with our home and bought it, leaving us wondering if we’d undersold. Alison and the team were professional, communicative, and strategic—focused on value, not just a quick sale. Highly recommend! David 15/04/2025
