For investors from across the world, UK residential property is seen as one of the best investments available. This is for good reason. It has a track record of delivering strong, stable returns in a way that is relatively easy to understand and implement. The trouble is, the market has changed. The investors of the future value sustainability more than ever before. There is unprecedented and growing demand for Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) investing, now worth $30 trillion in Assets Under Management each year, around a quarter of all professionally managed assets.

The traditional goal of profit maximisation is being replaced. Investments must increasingly be profitable as well as sustainable: economically resilient with positive ESG metrics. Yet the UK residential property market - worth over GBP7.5 trillion - is lagging behind. There is very little clear, easily usable guidance for those responsible for a huge proportion of the market: private investors. The positive impacts of sustainable property investing - for profit-motivated investors, people and the planet - could be huge. The financial, environmental and social costs of getting it wrong could be catastrophic.

To get this right and to avoid the risks of getting it wrong, it is vital to understand:

* What sustainable residential property investing is

* What needs to change and

* How, on a practical level, you can invest in a way that is both profitable and sustainable.

This book draws on expertise from within and beyond real estate, provides a simple framework for updating your approach. It highlights common mistakes and shares advice so that you can avoid them. Ultimately, it's about answering the question of the decade: 'How can I invest profitably with positive impacts?'

Reviews

"As the UK emerges post-Brexit and post-pandemic there are some clear markets where investors are clearly now looking at the investment potential, residential is definitely one, but what is exciting is that this is now also looking at the potential for sustainable investment in the asset class that brings together the potential of People, Place and Profit. No longer are these mutually exclusive but can combine to deliver ethical investment based on robust business analysis. This book takes the investor on the journey of the potential of how Sustainable Property Investing in the UK residential property market can build a better life and legacy. The timing is now to change our mindset and this book sets out how we can make this a reality." - Amanda Clack, CBRE, UK
