When you invest in a property, the total return on your investment consists of the rental income and any increase in the value of the property. Various things, including the flat’s location and the amenities in the area, can affect the value and performance of your investment. Please keep in mind that the value of your investment flat may also decrease. Your rental income depends on the rent, fixed costs including loan repayments and the charge for common expenses, as well as any costs related to renovation works, housing company loans or buying new household appliances, for instance.
