With good planning buy to let can still be a good investment in the long-term. Rental property is in higher demand than ever. As house prices have risen, younger people in particular are choosing to rent rather than buy their homes; add to that the increase in migrant workers looking for accommodation and you’ve got a huge rental market waiting to be tapped. And as rental demand rises, so do the levels of rent charged.
But don’t just take our word for it. Below are some of the latest buy to let statistics, compiled using feedback from landlords across the UK:*
- 77% of landlords makes a profit from buy-to-let while an additional 16% break even
- On average, landlords expect to stay in the buy-to-let market for 18 years
- The level of tenants seeking to rent property privately has hit a five year high in the UK**
With property prices doubling every 10-15 years*** and younger people finding it harder to take that first step on the property ladder, demand for rental properties has never been higher.
Good, long-term planning is still the key though to building a property business that you can sustain for years to come, regardless of market conditions and interest rates.
