Region’s Buy-To-Let Property Boom Will Last

According to the reports by Knighht Knox International, a leading property firm, the buy-to-let property boom is here for the long haul as shown on this article by lep.co.uk on August 22, 2013.

The buy-to-let property boom is here for the long haul, reports leading property firm Knight Knox International.

The North West is one of the best-perfoming areas, with Manchester and Liverpool particularly buoyant, latest figures show. More purpose-built student accommodation has been heralded as the answer to an increasing demand for rental stock.

The number of first-time buyers in England has now fallen to 200,000 per year, a staggering drop from 600,000 in 1999 according to Jones Lang La Salle.

Although rewards are strong for landlords investing in the buy-to-let market across the country, LSL confirmed in their buy-to-let index for April 2013 that rewards were in fact the strongest in the North West, where yields were highest.

The index documents that the North West produced yields of 7.2 per cent, topping London’s 5 per cent.

The average North West rent was £568, outshining the average rents of near counterparts Yorkshire and the North-East.
