As a first-time investor, should I delay a buy-to-let purchase until 2026, assuming a potential market dip, or are there specific property types (e.g., terraced vs. flats) predicted to hold value better in 2025 in the South East, outside London?
Quick Answer
Waiting for a market dip isn't always the best strategy for a first-time investor. Focus on property types like terraced homes or smaller family houses in the South East for better rental demand and value stability in 2025.
