A good time for buy-to-let

25th April 2014

Francesca Steele says that landlords are in a good position at present, with 45% more buy-to-let mortgages currently on offer compared with a year ago.

The latest buy-to-let index from LSL Property Services shows that total returns on an average landlord property rose to 9.7% in the year to February, from 5.4% in February last year. More loans will also come onto the market in the coming week as a result of the Mortgage Market Review.
