Buy-to-let gaining in popularity



The last few days have seen quite a number of stories related to lettings and buy-to-let finance being published. Some of those are especially interesting to those considering property investments in Edinburgh: while the Association of Residential Letting Agents reports a decline in demand for rental property, we’ve seen evidence that the opposite is the case and are still enjoying over 99% occupancy rates throughout the year.

Mortgage providers are starting to see an increase in buy-to-let investments, suggesting that overall confidence is growing. Where Edinburgh is concerned, we have seen the city continuously outperform UK averages where rental yields are concerned. The city’s secret? Its universities are attracting larger numbers of students each year, but as always with property it’s choosing the right flat in the right location to ensure maximum returns.
