Residential Buy to Let Average Rent Rises

The average monthly rent in the residential buy-to-let sector now stands at £676, according to figures released by LSL Property Services. This rise is largely due to very high demand among tenants, particularly in the London area and in the southeast. The main reason for the large number of tenants and tight supply of properties is the continued dearth of both residential mortgages for first-time buyers, as well as buy-to-let products for landlords looking to expand their existing portfolios.

Further tightening the supply of rental properties in the buy-to-let sector was the fact that a growing number of temporary or accidental landlords have by now sold their properties.

Yet there are very significant differences in what £676 per month would get a tenant seeking to rent a home. In the Midlands, it may be possible to even find a semi-detached house, while one may have trouble finding even the smallest flat for this amount in Central London.

PriceWaterhouseCooper’s research suggests that house prices will increase each year by approximately 2% over the next decade and this may also serve as positive news for landlords. But specialists point out that the rate of increase may be lower in the next few years than the average annual rise of 4% per annum, measured through much of the nineties and until the end of 2007.

Derelict Property for Renovation; New Sarah Beeny Property Show

What would would happen if you ignored that crack in the wall, that smell of damp or the sound of the death watch beetle eating your floorboards in the night? Over the next few weeks Sarah Beeny is planning to help people with these and other problems in her new channel 4 programme 'Help! My House is Falling Down' on every Tuesday at 8pm.

Sarah Beeny has been rather more respected for her television property programmes, because as far as property development was concerned she had been there seen it and done it. She also appeared to be handing out sound advice, which was usually ignored by the newbie property developers. Furthermore, she always pointed out the selling prices and profit made were in a booming property market, and that she would always look to the real profit margin- the added value the developer put on the house, rather than the market.

If the first episode is anything to go by the audience will first stare in amazement at the potential problems for the home owners, ranging from rain to brick burrowing bees. The next thought was 'Didn't they get a survey before they bought?'

Most people don't live in 350 year old bakeries, with their own flooding well in the cellar, and most people would never have bought the property.However, after a few thousand pounds,some expert advice, some heavy duty DIY, and top money saving tips from Sarah Beeny the whole idea of renovation and redevelopment of a near derelict property seems less daunting.

Run-down, derelict buildings and distressed properties hold great investment potential for property developers as renovation, restoration or refurbishment projects or for complete redevelopment as new buildings new housing developments or new shops and offices.

Interest Rates to Remain at 0.5% Until 2013

According to economists associated with Ernst & Young, the Bank of England is likely to keep the country’s base lending rate at or near the historic low of 0.5% until late 2013, primarily to ensure that inflation does not slip below 1%. At the moment, inflation is expected to surpass 2%, but this is mainly due to the rise in VAT, as well as increasing energy prices, but it may fall to around 1% in the near future. Ernst & Young believes that the Bank of England will have to keep interest rates at 0.5% for the next two to three years, in order to avoid this scenario. This may serve as a welcome relief for many residential landlords who worried about how they would manage if interest rates on their buy-to-let loans were to increase at the end of this year or in early 2011, as had been predicted.
