Landlord website foresees increase in property investment
The current level of property prices - combined with an upturn in
mortgage approvals - could make now a good time for landlords to
invest in homes.
At least that is the view of landlords services website
Smartlandlord.co.uk, which released a statement this week
suggesting buy-to-let investment may be ready to increase in the
coming months.
With the National Association of Estate Agents indicating that more
confidence is returning to the property market - it said the
average agent sold ten properties in April - there are a number of
factors supporting this view.
"This is what many landlords have been waiting for - to invest in
further properties while they offer the best value for money -
securing good yields for the future," Smartlandlord.co.uk
commented.
Property portal FindaProperty.com released a study last month which
showed that May's rental prices did not drop month-on-month - the
first time this trend has been noted since August 2008.
