Anyone on HPC thinking of starting this type of company? Wouldn't that make them just as bad as the BTL'ers they so decry and moan about for their "profiteering from others misfortune"? It would, wouldn't it? MC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandWagon Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) I have no problem with BTL, they provide a very useful economic service, and right now I have a landlord happy to accept a 3% yield on a property while he takes the hit on the price. God bless... Edited June 27, 2006 by BandWagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pindar Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 This says it all about the market. They know the yield is there if they buy 20% below market. It may drive prices down, but then again, they are presumably keeping the property out of circulation and thus keeping demand up. It's a win-win situation if you have access to a pool of cheap money. Is this the difference between now and the last boom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless... Lucky you I'm unfortunate to live in an area that due to an unhealthy amount of bars opening (ones I never frequent I may add) is being seen as the "fashionable end of town" and AST's longer than 6 months are impossible to get, having to shuffle my family around and having to pay ever-skyrocketing rents (Who's going to give you a 12+ month AST when they now they can get a bigger hike in by moving you out ) But I don't begrudge them it, it's supply & demand, and only the necessity of keeping within distance of my sons school is keeping me here ATM. People forget that renting isn't the be-all either, especially for families with young children. But I'm lucky, I'm hopefully (subject to contract, completion etc.) about to get a very nice 3-bed semi property @ 30% under the regional average. (60% under the national average.) ...oh, and it's only 3/4ers of a mile from this damned expensive "fashionable area". I honestly don't think things are as bad as many here think, If you're looking for a FTB'er property, stop looking at charts, stop waiting and do some GRAFT and you can get lucky. MC.
