Rental Property Development is a Solid Investment says experts
The continuing pensions crisis is bolstering the UK buy-to-let market as investors choose to hold on to properties for the long term.
Tenant demand for rental property is at its strongest since January 2004. 23 per cent of surveyors have reported a rise in demand over a fall, compared to a 20 per cent rise in the previous quarter.
Rent levels have increased for the tenth consecutive quarter. Current landlord instructions picked up in October, but are rising at an unspectacular pace compared to the boom years of the early noughties. The cost of borrowing and prospects of capital growth remain by far the most decisive factors.
For the time being at least this looks set to continue. With the growth of expert finance companies who specialise in property development, the lending process has become far easier and faster for property developers of all sizes in Surrey, Kent and parts of Sussex.
