Other highlights from the research included:
- four in 10 landlords said they were still willing to invest in property despite the current market conditions
- 50% of landlords felt they would probably not want to make a first investment now due to government intervention, regulatory changes, economic uncertainty and a lack of returns
- only one in four said they intended to increase rents over the next 12 months
“There is a continued appetite to be active in this sector and a recognition of the strong demand for quality properties from tenants,” said Jeff Knight, director of marketing at Foundation Home Loans (pictured above).
“That being the case, we might anticipate that demand for mortgage advice and BTL mortgages will continue to grow, although many are clearly worried about the current economic uncertainty and what might happen in a post-Brexit world.”
