How many buy to let properties do you own?

A recent report suggested that there are now more buy to let investors with two or more properties than ever before. It also appears that private rental of properties is now becoming more professional and not seen as “a job on the side”.

 

I only see this getting larger.

• General housing demand
• Demand for better quality housing
• High cost of entry for homeowners and interest rates moving up slowly will increase the number of tennants

It might take a long while to get to the continental renting ethos but it is moving in that direction.,

 

I think you are right, first time buyers today have been "spoiled" to a certain extent by the low cost of finance. When interest rates do finally start to tick higher I think many will be found wanting on the financial front.
