Time to Invest in Buy-To-Let

London is going to become a ‘city of renters’ by the year 2025 because of the house prices that will make buying property in the capital unaffordable for more than 60% of inhabitants, according to PriceWaterhouseCooper’s study. This is explained by the fact, that young people aged between 20 and 40 are being priced out of the buying market and have nothing to do but become renters. This means that soon there will be less houses for sale, but should you wish to buy-to-let you would not have any difficulties in finding tenants.

UK property prices continue to cool down

According to estate experts, that London prices falling in the end of summer and autumn 2018 is beneficial for buyers as property prices are falling fast, the fastest in the last decade. UK’s Office for National Statistics data show the average value of properties in London stood at near £484,000 in August this year, down 0.74% on a year previously, a drop of £2,500 in real terms. Nevertheless, house prices in the capital are still high and as per the end of September 2018, there are no homes for sale in London with five-digit price. Excluding shared ownership and auction properties, houseboats and retirement homes, the cheapest property on the market today in the UK capital is a studio flat, which is asking for offers some £100,000. The situation is connected with the stamp duty on properties with a purchase price more than £125,000. This novelty hit London properties harder than other UK areas, as house prices in the capital are significantly higher that across the rest of the country.
