Our offices have experienced sharp rises in demand for classic rental-style properties. Typically, buy-to-let investors are seeking 2 bedroom modern apartments or houses within walking-distance of the Underground Stations and, if possible, wish to stay within the sub-£250,000 stamp duty bracket. Our own experience would suggest that buyer confidence, relative affordability of mortgages and a general lack of supply are the drivers behind demand in this sector having increased significantly and achieved prices being in the region of 5%-10% higher than 12 months ago.
