recent report from mortgage lender Kent Reliance, based on data from the Office of National Statistics and the Land Registry, predicts that by Spring of next year, private landlords in the UK will own property worth £1trillion. That’s an extraordinary figure, even taking into account the sheer number of people who can count themselves as a landlord. In 2001, the number of buy-to-let property owners stood at two million and Kent Reliance estimates that could have grown to five million by 2016. While London accounts for around 41% of the total, and the South East a further 15%, buy-to-let can certainly be considered a national phenomenon and one that more and more people have turned to in the face of low interest rates on their savings and poorly performing pensions. Investing in property is certainly not a guarantee of a financially secure, future but real estate generally has proven to be a safe bet as a long-term investment, outperforming banks and the stock market. Now could be a good time for you to seriously consider starting a property portfolio.
