We were interested to read a recent report by CB Richard Ellis which concluded that over the last 10 years over a million more people have chosen to rent private properties rather than buy property, which means the industry for Buy to Let Landlords is now a £500bn industry. CBRE also suggest that 73% of those properties are owned by individual buy-to-let landlords.

The reason for the above switch is that many ordinary Buyers are finding it difficult to purchase themselves with high deposits often demanded by lenders. This extra demand has meant investment in residential property is starting to have better returns that the commercial property market.

If you are an investor looking to take advantage of this market and want solicitors who are experienced in acting for buy to let investors, are landlords themselves and offer an efficient proactive and speedy service you need our assistance with your next purchase.   

However, many investors like the prospect of benefiting from the market but like other buyers lack the huge deposits, lenders are demanding. If that is the case we can help you too with our bespoke lease option model, which allows you: to secure a property at today’s price for a low deposit, manage the property and benefit from its income (and the seller’s preferable mortgage package) but not having to purchase until you choose to.
