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”. A recent survey of landlords shows that over 45% have seen a large increase in demand for rental properties within the last 6 months. A multiple owner in the north said “I have never found it so easy to let any of my properties, whether it is a 2 or 3 bedroomed seems to make no difference at all”. “I am finding rents are remaining stable and easily keeping pace with inflation so all in all I am very pleased”. The survey also reported that the majority of landlords across the country intend to increase their property holdings over the next year. The consensus of opinion is that buy-to-let property over the long term is still a very sound and solid investment. Can we assist?
