PRESSURE on people wanting to buy a property is bringing benefits to those who have invested in the buy-to-let market.
The demand for quality homes to rent on a short or long-term lease is showing no signs of easing off, with tenants having to act fast to secure a property.
Carl Davis, a partner at Nigel Davis Property Services, the Wellingborough-based independent letting specialists, believes landlords and those considering the buy-to-let route should take a fresh look at the opportunities.
“It is easy to take decisions but then not review the options on a regular basis,” said Carl.
“We believe the buy-to-let owners who work with a managing agent can make the most of their opportunities while ensuring the property meets all the regulations.”
House prices have slowed but Northamptonshire’s property market is still bucking the trend.
“It is generally recognised that there are real benefits for those who want to invest in bricks and mortar,” said Carl. “What is clear now is that while there have been additional financial pressures on buy-to-let landlords there are now fresh opportunities for those opting for a property in Northamptonshire.
“The buy-to-let market has stayed reasonably buoyant in this area, even when other parts of the country have suffered. The rail links to London and other areas like Milton Keynes, where prices are higher, are real benefits.
“Understandably, individuals might be nervous about making a move in to the buy-to-let sector but whatever the future holds there will always be people looking to rent good quality homes.
“We are able to give landlords support and advice to ensure they are meeting all their responsibilities. This can not only save them time and money but real peace of mind.
“We are able to assist throughout the whole process from sourcing a property to purchase, right through to managing the property on an ongoing basis for the new landlord. This support gives many landlords, especially those new to the buy-to let market, the confidence to commit their finances and investments.”
