Buy to let mortgage numbers rise in Q1 2015.
Latest market figures show that demand for buy to let mortgages is rising. In January almost as many landlords were successfully granted a mortgage as first time buyers.
Property investment is keeping the purchase market buoyant and helping prices to rise. While this is not good news for first time buyers wanting to climb on the property ladder, it is good news for investors.
The in-ability to purchase a home is forcing many to remain in rental property, and increased demand for rental property is keeping landlords yields high.
With changes in pension rules, the number of older buyers looking to invest in property for retirement income is expected to increase. The knock on effect may further reduce the availability of housing stock at the more affordable end of the market, trapping lower income buyers in rental accommodation.
