BUY-TO-LET THE UK’S LEADING ASSET CLASS
2014’s skyrocketing house prices have increased the number of those looking to rent in the UK to figures higher than ever before. Over the next five years it is estimated that the number of privately rented households will rise by over 1.2 million, equating to 24% of households. Renters enjoy the flexibility of the sector and not needing to have a mortgage, but ultimately it is the significant lack of suitable housing that has pushed the price of buying to beyond many people’s budgets. By late Spring 2015, private landlords are set to own £1 trillion of property as more and more see the potential of the buy-to-let sector. Tenant demand is growing, guaranteeing high occupancy rates, and rents are rising, assuring investors of impressive yields simply not found in other fluctuating markets. Plus a buy-to-let property generates income in a second way too, capital appreciation from the very day you purchase.
Pace is clearly increasing and the sector is becoming more sophisticated to match. These days lettings and management companies maintain the properties making the buy-to-let investor’s role simpler than ever before. Now is the time to consider the buy-tolet market. Every investment requires a little confidence and conviction, and this lucrative sector offers more secure returns than others. The real key to success in the buy-to-let industry, proven time after time by industry surveys and reports, is choosing the right location. Many people’s first choice is the capital, but the exuberant cost of properties in london mean that potential yields are amongst the lowest in the UK. Instead Regional locations, regenerating cities, and forward-thinking hubs continually top the tables of property hotspots because of their incredible potential and high yields.
Whether a new build or renovation, the buy-to-let sector is now responsible for over two million households since 2001.

One of the top five holiday destinations in the UK, Liverpool attracts people from around the globe, a fact highlighted by the fact that more than five million passengers who were welcomed through the doors of Liverpool John Lennon Airport in 2011. In addition to being a major tourist hub, the city is also a centre for commerce being home to over 3,000 businesses and the fifth largest retail centre in the UK - Liverpool ONE, which hosts an abundance of high street names.
In a bid to counter the rising demand from private tenants, the Mayor of Liverpool has pledged to deliver 5,000 new homes in the city and. With statistics from Shelter revealing that the average single person in the city needs nine years to save the deposit for a house while the average couple need four years, this influx of properties are likely to be needed for rental stock.
The influx of tourists into the city is mirrored by the vast number of visitors who have become permanent residents, placing an increasing amount of strain on the city’s housing market.
“5,000 new homes pledged” In answer to this rising demand, The Studios at X1 The Quarter is the perfect example of the type of refurbished and new-build stock available to investors over the forthcoming years.
