Buy-to-let is still appealing

... but don't forget the tax relief changes

Judging by the popularity of our "buy-to-let" seminar for potential buy-to-let landlords in March, it is clear that landlords around Oldham and North Manchester still have a healthy interest in buy-to-let.

It's good to know that our impression is supported by recent research by property consultancy Allsop which shows that the outlook for buy-to-let remains good. Despite a fall (to 16 %) in the percentage of landlords intending to buy property in the next 12 months, 37% of landlords anticipate rental growth over the next 6 months and 84% are making a profit from the lettings activities.

But don't forget about the tax relief changes ...

That said, 83% of landlords have struggled to obtain buy-to-let finance and it still remains to be seen what effect the changes to the tax relief regime will have.
