Buy-to-let market holding firm

2015 has seen the buy-to-let market boom

with people seeing this as a potentially good return on their investment. A recent report shows the market looks set to continue to grow although at a reduced pace but in general is holding firm. Where to invest is a question always being asked, the report shows that Manchester, Hull and the Blackpool area are currently seeing very good growth. This is all due to reasonable house prices compared with the South of England and an increased demand for rental property.

Buy-to-let market strengthens

Times are hard for first time buyers at present which has strengthened the buy-to-let market even more. Young couples and first time buyers looking to join the property ladder could be in for a very long wait. Figures just released this week are showing that a combined salary of £41500 is required on average to enter the property market. So what is required these days to buy a new property is almost twice the UK average wage of £22000 per annum and as most people will know that is very difficult.
