"Buy - to - Let" - Would it suit you ?

Ever since the mid 1990`s demand has much increased within the property rental sector. This might be attributed to several factors, for example; 

Shortages in Local Authority Housing

Professional personnel being subject to career relocation

Employment trends towards fixed term contracts

Increase in lone-parent families

European influences - many families in Europe prefer to rent rather than buy.

People who might be affected by the above examples have particular reasons for needing flexibility and mobility with their housing needs, and growth within the Buy to Let property sector has been assisted by these social trends.

We have seen a strong growing demand in particular from the `Corporate` sector - i.e. persons employed within national or even international companies, and who may in the near future be subject to being relocated to a different area (or country) as a part of their continuing career.

Letting is of course classed as a business. As with any business, there is a requirement to keep books to account for income from your new investment, and which is subject to UK taxation rules as with most sources of income. This need not be difficult, and a growing number of owners of such `second properties` often quickly realise both the potential and the demand that exists, and many look to build small portfolios of property to increase their profits!

By and large, residential property has historically been considered a very solid asset, and property values have historically out-performed most other forms of investment in the longer term.
Some might argue that rental income from a property owned outright is better than a personal pension, in that rental income can reasonably expect to be "Index Linked" in keeping with economic inflation.
