MORE women than ever see buy-to-let properties as a low-risk way to invest their cash.
There are 1.1 million female landlords out of the 2.4 million buy-to-let investors in the UK.
Experts believe women are attracted to investing in residential property because it is a relatively stable asset and not prone to the more dramatic swings in values of shares.
Property expert Stephen Ludlow at Ludlowthompson estate agents, which carried out the analysis of government data, said: “Whilst a lot of men get entranced by get-rich-quick investments like cryptocurrencies, women are said to be much more grounded and prefer lower-risk investments like real estate.
“When we started our business 25 years ago we noticed that buy-to-let was an investment that seemed to be favoured by women over men. That has been great news for those early pioneers as residential property investment has easily beaten other asset classes like shares, bonds and cash.”
