BSPC SPOTLIGHT WHETHER YOU’RE A LANDLORD OR TENANT . . . IT HAS TO BE BSPC “Those brave enough to venture into the world of buy to let three or four years ago at the height of the property boom will be pleased to note the prophets of doom who predicted the buy-to-let sector would collapse have been proved wrong,” says BSPC chairman David Kilshaw of Cullen Kilshaw, one of several BSPC member firms that offers a dedicated rental service. “What they failed to acknowledge is that when first and second time buyers are unable to obtain mortgages they turn to the rental sector. As a result, the rental market is currently seeing strong demand and monthly rentals have remained at a level sufficiently to service any debt and provide a good return on investment. This is likely to remain the status quo for the foreseeable future,” he adds.
While lack of mortgage availability and the current need for larger deposits to meet lower loan-to-values has dramatically affected the first and second time buyer market, it has kept the rental sector buoyant.
Buy to let can be an excellent long-term investment, one that is seen by many people as a safer option to stocks and shares and retirement schemes
Research shows 41% of young, low-to-middle earners currently live in privately rented accommodation, compared with 14% in 1988. And this trend looks set to continue while mortgage funding and other constraints effectively bar entry to home ownership. Living at home with parents is one option but for young people who want to be independent the only other option is the private rented sector, which at present is unable to meet demand. In a nutshell, the country needs more good quality rental properties. Buy to let can be an excellent long-term investment, one that is seen by many people as a safer option to stocks and shares and retirement schemes. However, there are many potential pitfalls, risks and legislative constraints, so research is vital, as is taking advice from those best qualified to give it – a BSPC member firm, many of which offer a dedicated rental management service to local landlords.
And according to the latest report from the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), demand for rental property will continue to outstrip supply for much of 2011 and into next year – which is good news for landlords and anyone currently contemplating buying property as a rental investment.

3 ABBOTSLEA • TD1 3RZ
“the prophets of doom who predicted the buy-to-let sector would collapse have been proved wrong,” says BSPC chairman David Kilshaw of Cullen Kilshaw The criteria for purchasing a buy to let property is not necessarily the same as buying a house to live in yourself, and as an empty property generates no income, it’s important to buy in an area where demand will be highest. Location, size and condition are the starting point. The last housing boom in 2007 saw more than a million people become landlords – often with no prior knowledge or understanding of the market - purely as a way of making money fast from rising house prices. And when house prices fell, many people lost substantial sums. Landlords who invest wisely in today’s market do so for regular income rather than house price gains.

The secret to being a good landlord is the ability to look at a property with they eyes of a potential tenant. If the property is in an area close to a university or college, it will attract the student market. Students’ needs, however, can be different from other tenants in that they may want a shorter lease and are likely to want to share the accommodation with one or more students – multiple tenancy has another set of rules that makes taking professional advice essential.

THE BSPC PROPERTY GUIDE / WWW.BSPC.CO.UK
BSPC SPOTLIGHT WHETHER YOU’RE A LANDLORD OR TENANT . . . IT HAS TO BE BSPC Ron Hastings comments: “The rental sector is now a significant player in the Borders and the BSPC Property Guide is second to none when it comes to cost effective marketing. The financial returns for a rental property are not in the same league as sales, and accordingly, the service requires to be adapted to make it worth while both from the point of view of the agent and the property owner, many of whom are first time landlords. These days care is required with regulations over almost every aspect, including restrictions on multiple occupancy, compliance issues such as annual gas safety certificates, private landlord registration, the new compulsory tenancy deposit scheme and other pitfalls for the unwary. It pays to seek professional advice from the outset and as solicitors and estate agents, BSPC members are best placed to advise on the legal requirements. We are also uniquely placed to market property effectively, offering the natural rental solution for property owners.” Given the complexity of leases, inventories, rent collection, emergency availability, repairs, inspections, safety legislation and more besides, becoming a landlord could be a full-time occupation – which is why so many landlords nowadays opt to have their property managed on their behalf by specialist letting professionals. Many BSPC member firms offer a dedicated management service for landlords who pay a monthly management fee and can then forget about it, knowing their investment is in safe hands.
He continues: “While there is still life in residential sales there has been a dramatic shift in attitudes towards property owning and renting. Most private sector tenants have aspirations to buy at the right time and at the right price, however in the short term they are happy to rent. We have also detected something of a shift in attitudes in recent years to a more European approach to renting and if this trend continues, with increased demand for properties, rents are likely to be maintained or rise to provide a better return on capital. While interest rates remain low many owners are content to seek a reasonable return covering the mortgage but as rates rise, a more robust approach to rental returns is likely to see increases, albeit tempered by affordability where appropriate in light of the recent cuts and impact on public service jobs in the Borders. This is also an attractive situation for investors who are able to take advantage of lower prices and good demand for rental properties.”
