More bad news for BTLers

Times: Back to the ’burbs

Apart from London, city centers are saturated with BTL properties, yields s@ck and properties do not sell. Is this the end of the BTL craze? BTW, I noticed the Times has a new email address buytolet@sunday-times.co.uk Are they advising BTLers? Do they have a similar service for FTBers?

"I’m reading horror stories from members who have bought apartments in huge new-build city-centre blocks,” he says. “As soon as the blocks are ready to rent, the landlords start competing with one another for tenants, which means, of course, that the rents get pushed down"

Tut, Tut! Shame this competition mallarky.

I'm reading horror stories about FTB's competing against property speculators. Pity there can't be a rent strike as well and watch them all go bust. Extend "Right to Buy" to private tenants too I say.
