Landlords are in a great mood about the investment prospects for their property, encouraged by the great demand from potential tenants. The rental market in the UK now has not only the medium but also long-term potential because, according to most market participants, in the medium term is unlikely to meet all the growing demand.

71% of landlords believe that now is a good time to buy real estate for investment purposes because of the attractive prices of real estate and consequently, a good turnover of capital. 47% of landlords believe that high demand for rent – a locomotive for investment “Buy to let”.

However, despite the fact that the rental market , as the whole of the UK property market out of the doldrums, it is far from their historical levels. The improvement in mortgage lending, according to experts of the market will help to push the appeal of the “Buy to let” investment. This is another factor in favor of the real estate market.
