If you hlod your property for the duration of the property cycle(at least 7 to 10 years) , you will also enjoy much greater capital growth than if you sell partway through.

Capital growth compounds, so your property's value increases more quickly the longer you hold it.

In the case of a property held for 10 years, only 1/3 of the capital growth is achieved in the first 5 years. The bulk of growth is achieved in the next 5 years.

Holding for the long term will maximise your opportunity to accumulate equity-widening your finacial and lifestyle horizons for years to come.
