The Property Industry
Property Sales & Lettings is one of the highest growth Industries Worldwide.
This is fuelled by the high levels of demand from new breed of Investors looking to purchase property as an Investment.
Figures published in the survey of English Housing by the Department for Communities and Local Government, report that in 2006 a record 330,000 buy to let mortgages were handed out, an increase of nearly 50% on the previous year. There are now 2.5 million households living in private rented properties, the highest since 1997. Buy-to-let mortgages now account for 11% of all lending in the UK and 2006 represented the highest increase in volume (up 48% on 2005).
Commenting on the figures, CML Director General Michael Coogan said: "The buy-to-let market has performed even more strongly than the wider market over the course of 2006. With evidence from other sources of strong tenant demand, rising rents and falling void periods, buy-to-let looks set to continue to remain popular and successful."
What is encouraging to all potential franchisees is that the number of buy-to-let mortgages has grown every year since 1999 this is also predicted to grow further hence providing more supply of properties for sale and to rent.
