More complex buy to let deals see higher returns

Author: David Whittaker Posted on: 25 May 2011

Overall consensus among the general borrowing population is ‘let’s wait and see’ so lending will continue to bump up and down for the foreseeable future.

A lot of owner-occupiers are paying down their mortgages and putting disposable income into savings, despite the feeble savings rates, because of their uncertainty over the future of the economy.

One section of borrowers sitting relatively comfortably though are professional property investors. Buy-to-let finance is back in a big way and the more complex the deal the more return an investor is likely to see. Complex deals aren’t for everyone though and there are plenty of other deals to be had but with so many having to rely on the private rental sector and with that trend unlikely to change for many years, professional landlords have a real opportunity to capitalise on the situation.
