The buy-to-let market is 'blooming', which is helped by remortgaging home-owners who want to get in on the action. The rental market saw a boom in 2011 as more house-holders found it impossible to get a mortgage and so were left trapped in the rental sector.
Research has shown that it is now cheaper to buy than rent, and lenders who previously viewed buy-to-let investment as higher risk, have expanded their ranges to reflect the increased interest in the market.
