More Buy To Let News!!

A new report sheds more light on how UK landlords have fared over the past 18 months. While many markets have struggled, buy-to-let once again shows itself as an enticing investment option.

The rental market in the UK continues to grow, and investors are “still gravitating towards buy-to-let properties in huge numbers”. This is according to a study carried out by Market Financial Solutions looking at landlord behaviour during the pandemic, as well as future plans.

MFS found that landlords were extremely adaptable to market conditions and needs. Almost two thirds (65%) of landlords in the study had been flexible with tenants’ rent payments since early 2020. This would have helped thousands of tenants who may have been struggling due to Covid-related reasons.

To meet rising costs, just over half of buy-to-let owners said they will increase rents over the next year. However, 80% said they would accept lower rent to keep good, long-term tenants in their properties. MFS comments: “It is an insight into the demand for trustworthy tenants, rather than the highest possible price.”

How attractive is property investment now?
Interestingly, many property investors were not in favour of the stamp duty holiday. Around 60% said it made the market “too chaotic”. With the tax break about to end on 30th September, this should bring some stability back to the sector.

Right now, more than two thirds (68%) of investors think buy-to-let is an attractive investment option.

Paresh Raja, CEO of MFS, comments: “The pandemic has caused huge financial disruption to consumers, businesses and investors. So, it is positive to see that a healthy majority of UK landlords have allowed their tenants flexibility in making payments during this period. It is also telling that while rent increases invariably lie ahead, there is a clear appetite among landlords to secure reliable, long-term tenants – they are willing to drop rents in order to do so.

“Our research underlines that, despite some speculation to the contrary, the buy-to-let market has lasting appeal. Tax reforms and new regulations introduced over the past five years have affected landlords as the government has sought to gain better control over the private rental sector, but as an asset class, UK investors are evidently still gravitating towards buy-to-let properties in huge numbers.”

Growing buy-to-let market
According to HMRC data, there are now a huge 2.65 million buy-to-let landlords in the UK. This includes everyone who earns an income from property, not including furnished holiday lets.

The highest concentration of landlords is in Birmingham, with 27,060. The rental market in the city has been booming in recent years, and continues to do so thanks to regeneration in the area. Leeds follows with 24,450, as the northern city continues to attract huge rental demand.

More Housing News!!

Much of the UK government’s focus on housing creation falls on homeownership. But the true picture shows a growing demand for rental homes, too.

Getting people onto the housing ladder has been a major focus for the government in recent years. Tax changes including stamp duty cuts as well as favourable borrowing rates have certainly got buyers moving.

But the average age people now purchase a property is higher than ever, as more people rent into their 30s. And the country’s so-called housing shortage doesn’t just apply to homes to buy.

According to a consultation response from Propertymark, looking at meeting the UK’s housing demand, housing need is equally high across all areas of the property sector. This includes private ownership, private rented sector homes and social housing. While the report acknowledges that there are significant regional variations when it comes to the supply-demand gap, all aspects of the market are facing the same undersupply.

The firm’s most recent Private Rented Sector Report (July 2021) demonstrated how the average number of prospective tenants is growing. Meanwhile, stock levels are in decline. Propertymark adds: “Our insight is corroborated by other industry commentators pointing to a decline in the number of homes available to rent against a backdrop of strong demand.”

Radical action
The solution to this is not straightforward. Increasing social housing levels would go some way towards alleviating affordability issues in the PRS, says the report.

Propertymark also suggests that the government should scrap its second property stamp duty surcharge. At present, buyers and investors of additional homes must pay an extra 3% tax on their purchase. This has certainly worked to deter property investment, which arguably has led to some of the shortage in the PRS.

Dealing with the country’s hundreds of thousands of empty homes is another suggestion. Propertymark believes empty properties can lower land values and make it harder to sell nearby properties.

It adds: “Bringing empty homes back into use can also ease the pressure on existing housing stock and help improve local communities. The latest UK government data shows that vacant dwellings account for almost 3 per cent of the total dwelling stock in England.

“Over 250,000 homes in have been empty for over six months and in total, there were 665,600 vacant homes more than double the UK Government’s annual housebuilding target.”

Keeping landlords in the sector
As Propertymark points out, the buy-to-let industry is a crucial part of the housing market. Sadly, landlords are often demonised in the media. In reality, they provide much-needed accommodation for millions of people who aren’t in a position – or do not want to – buy a home.

The government should do more to help meet the demand in the private rented sector, Propertymark believes. It states that the government should review “all relevant buy-to-let taxes and the impact of recent legislation, such as the changes to mortgage interest relief, on the sector”.

This refers to Section 24 tax changes which came into play over the past few years. While landlords used to be able to claim their mortgage interest payments against their income tax bill, this has slowly been phased out. Now, landlords must pay tax on all rental income, and can only claim back mortgage interest costs of 20%. The legislation undoubtedly makes the buy-to-let market less attractive to many investors. However, some have found ways around it that work for them, such as forming a limited company.

Whether the government will take heed of Propertymark‘s suggestions remains to be seen. But high demand for rental homes continues to gather pace, fuelling the need for landlords to remain in the market.

So a question from David he asked.. So Gary if i wanted to go on holiday for a week or two will you take care of everything here with my properties and tenants?
And my replay was yes David we can do that this is what we do and if you wanted to go on holiday we just ask that you let us know before hand so we know that we will have everything covered.
Part of what we do is to take the stress away from landlord's such as yourself and giving you more time and freedom and we handle everything else.

Hope this helped anyone out there who had the same question.

We are just a call of a text away and do not forget we are on WhatsApp too!

How to Add £40k to Your Home’s Value Read More To Find Out!

1. Look after the details

Make sure that any cracks are fixed in window frames or walls. Cracks in walls can knock £9.49k off your home, while no double glazing knocks off £9.14k.

Fixing this is often simple, so before you call in professional help, check the cracks in your wall to see if it’s something you can mend yourself. If the cracks are less than 5mm, then you can use filler to sort them out and get your walls looking great again.

House value added: £18.63k

2. Introduce popular trends

Keeping your décor up to date can add up to £8.85k to your property, so having a home that brings visitors a sense of joy will massively benefit the sales process. Ways to do this are simply by introducing modern trends that are universally liked. One way to do this is going for Scandi-inspired style; neutral colours, house plants full of life, and occasional moments of colour around the property that create a homely feeling which visitors will love. It’s an environment where people can easily picture their own design choices.

If you want to go one step further, then try dried flowers – a bold yet minimalist interior design trend that brings a feeling of edge and character to a living environment without it feeling too over the top.

House value added: £8.85k

3. Look after your garden

Over lockdown, the demand for outdoor space has gone up significantly. In fact, 64% of UK residents say they wouldn’t buy a home if it didn’t have outside space. While this isn’t a deal breaker, if you do have an outdoor space, look after it; it could be the difference in securing the deal or losing it.

30% of UK residents also said that when looking to buy a home, they place more value in the garden than the inside space. Lockdown brought out the nation’s inner gardeners with 39% getting more into gardening over the past year, so having a space where they can plan a new project is going to be important, and one factor that could make buyers favour your property over others.

House value added: Up to 5% of property value

4. Cleanliness is key

It’s obvious, but a clean house is always going to be preferred to a messy one. With 43% of UK residents saying they would only arrange a viewing for a clean property, a messy home will be detrimental to the sales process. 61% of UK residents also said that they would put in a lower offer on a property if it wasn’t clean when they viewed it, so keeping tidy is an absolute must.

Look at your property with a critical eye; what could visitors be put off by? Mess and clutter can knock £9.29k off a property, so the cost of fixing this is inherently worth more than leaving it to new occupants.

House value added: £9.29k

5. Paint for profit

Scuffed paintwork and marked walls can take £9.25k off a property, so don’t hesitate to give the walls a fresh lick of paint. Stick to neutral colours such as white, light grey, and natural wood, which are the most popular three colours that attracted buyers. However, going dark with your paint choice can prove to be detrimental. A comparatively small 8% of buyers were attracted by light blue and black, while 5% were attracted by light brown and dark blue, so keep it light and neutral.
