Landlords in the UK should feel optimistic about the state of the rental market, according to one expert.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for the National Approved Letting Scheme (Nals), says: “All of the demographics point to the fact that there is more and more need for rental properties, and that’s looking good [for] the future.”<\/p>\n
His comments come in response to recent findings from the monthly Upad landlord confidence index, which reveal that 57 per cent of British landlords feel more confident about the buy-to-let market than they did last month.<\/p>\n
Similarly, the Council of Mortgage Lenders recently reported that new buy-to-let lending increased for the second consecutive quarter in the last three months of 2009.<\/p>\n
During this period some 25,800 new home loans were approved.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Paragon Mortgages recently found that ten per cent of landlords are looking to expand their property portfolio during the first three months of this year.<\/p>\n
The Nals spokesman advises that due to this positive outlook there is no reason why UK landlords should not feel confident about the current state of the buy-to-let market.<\/p>\n
