'Many advisers focusing on buy to let' - buy to let mortgages

30 July 2009

Property investors may be increasingly eager to consider buy to let mortgages, as the rental market is currently booming, according to the FT Adviser's Other People's Money blog.

But those with buy to let mortgages should not underestimate the importance of sound financial planning, as it is important to be insured against the worst possible scenario.

This protection can be particularly beneficial to buy to let landlords, as it cuts the risk that rental income may suddenly stop. This would also eliminate the associated costs of re-letting the property if the tenant was no longer able to pay.

According to the blogger, financial planning of this type is often overlooked by both tenants and landlords, but it could provide valuable peace of mind in the long term.

Beacon Financial Training reported earlier this month that amid the current economic uncertainty, buy to let mortgages represent a "great way to make a steady income".

It asserted that many investors view buy to let mortgages as a source of significant earnings, especially compared to the rate of return on savings accounts - many of which are at an all-time low.
