While lack of mortgage availability andthe current need for larger depositsto meet lower loan-to-values hasdramatically affected the first and secondtime buyer market, it has kept the rentalsector buoyant.

And according to the latest report fromthe Association of Residential LettingAgents (ARLA), demand for rentalproperty will continue to outstrip supplyfor much of 2011 and into next year– which is good news for landlords andanyone currently contemplating buyingproperty as a rental investment.

“Those brave enough to venture into the world of buy to let three or four years ago at the height of theproperty boom will be pleased to note the prophets of doom who predicted the buy-to-let sector wouldcollapse have been proved wrong,” says BSPCchairman David Kilshaw of Cullen Kilshaw, one ofseveral BSPC member firms that offers a dedicatedrental service.

“What they failed to acknowledge is that when firstand second time buyers are unable to obtainmortgages they turn to the rental sector. As a result,the rental market is currently seeing strong demandand monthly rentals have remained at a levelsufficiently to service any debt and provide a goodreturn on investment. This is likely to remain the status quo for the foreseeable future,” he adds.

Research shows 41% of young, low-to-middleearners currently live in privately rentedaccommodation, compared with 14% in 1988.

And this trend looks set to continue while mortgagefunding and other constraints effectively bar entryto home ownership. Living at home with parents isone option but for young people who want to beindependent the only other option is the privaterented sector, which at present is unable to meetdemand. In a nutshell, the country needs more goodquality rental properties.

Buy to let can be an excellent long-term investment,one that is seen by many people as a safer option tostocks and shares and retirement schemes. However,there are many potential pitfalls, risks and legislativeconstraints, so research is vital, as is taking advicefrom those best qualified to give it – a BSPC memberfirm, many of which offer a dedicated rentalmanagement service to local landlords.

The criteria for purchasing a buy to let property isnot necessarily the same as buying a house to livein yourself, and as an empty property generates no income, it’s important to buy in an area wheredemand will be highest. Location, size andcondition are the starting point.

The last housing boom in 2007 saw more than amillion people become landlords – often with noprior knowledge or understanding of the market- purely as a way of making money fast from risinghouse prices. And when house prices fell, manypeople lost substantial sums. Landlords who investwisely in today’s market do so for regular incomerather than house price gains.

The secret to being a good landlord is the ability tolook at a property with they eyes of a potential tenant.

If the property is in an area close to a university orcollege, it will attract the student market. Students’needs, however, can be different from other tenantsin that they may want a shorter lease and are likely towant to share the accommodation with one or morestudents – multiple tenancy has another set of rulesthat makes taking professional advice essential.

Ron Hastings comments: “The rental sector is now a significant player in the Borders and the BSPCProperty Guide is second to none when it comes tocost effective marketing. The financial returns for arental property are not in the same league as sales,and accordingly, the service requires to be adapted tomake it worth while both from the point of view of theagent and the property owner, many of whom are firsttime landlords.

These days care is required with regulations overalmost every aspect, including restrictions on multipleoccupancy, compliance issues such as annual gassafety certificates, private landlord registration, thenew compulsory tenancy deposit scheme and otherpitfalls for the unwary. It pays to seek professionaladvice from the outset and as solicitors and estateagents, BSPC members are best placed to advise onthe legal requirements. We are also uniquely placed tomarket property effectively, offering the natural rentalsolution for property owners.”

He continues: “While there is still life in residentialsales there has been a dramatic shift in attitudestowards property owning and renting. Most privatesector tenants have aspirations to buy at the righttime and at the right price, however in the short termthey are happy to rent. We have also detectedsomething of a shift in attitudes in recent years to amore European approach to renting and if this trendcontinues, with increased demand for properties, rentsare likely to be maintained or rise to provide a betterreturn on capital.

While interest rates remain low many owners arecontent to seek a reasonable return covering themortgage but as rates rise, a more robust approachto rental returns is likely to see increases, albeittempered by affordability where appropriate in light ofthe recent cuts and impact on public service jobs inthe Borders. This is also an attractive situation forinvestors who are able to take advantage of lowerprices and good demand for rental properties.”
