Rental income is still increasing and tenant demand for buy-to-let properties remains consistently high. These conditions are keeping landlords on a very positive footing after so much adverse news in the last six months. The general feeling within the landlord community is that things will remain fairly stable in the coming months. One landlord commented “my confidence remains high as I know it is so difficult for couples to get onto the property ladder with ever increasing property prices”.

As a landlord you will know doubt know an interest rate rise is on the horizon, in fact a lot of good deals have already disappeared. The good news is there are still plenty of good sound offers to be had in the buy-to-let mortgage market.

Choices increase

New and existing landlords now have the widest choice of mortgages on record with the figure fast approaching 1000. At present the number of buy-to-let mortgages on offer stands at 953 this figure has grown 11.2% in the last three months. These figures are very surprising especially as interest rates are increasing plus the new tax changes landlords have to deal with.
