Boost for Landlords as Buy to Let mortgages rise 🚀

✅ Research shows a small but encouraging increase in the number of BTL mortgages for investors 📈
✅ Investors now have the highest number of deals to choose from since March 2020 🥇
✅ There are now 1,976 BTL products on offer - especially positive for investors with lower deposits as this growth has extended to the higher-risk 80 per cent LTV bracket 🏠

❌ Be warned though, as average BTL borrowing rates are all currently in excess of their equivalents year-on-year ⚠

Regulation Regulation Regulation... Give me a break! 🍫

Thank you to ARLA Propertymark for urging the Government to give Landlords a bit of a break! 🍫

ARLA Propertymark have urged the Government to:

1️⃣ Provide more time ⌚ for Landlords to adhere to new rules - to ensure the sector is less likely to fall foul of regulations 🥇
2️⃣ Appreciate the ongoing practical impact of the Coronavirus restrictions 🚫 when asking Landlords to comply to regulations ✅ - this includes Tenants 👨👩 who are self-isolating and therefore limited property access to carry out checks and/or maintenance work ⛑🔧⛏🧰
3️⃣ For example: strongly pressing the Government 🏛 to allow Landlords leeway in checking smoke and carbon monoxide alarms before Tenants move in 🧯 (as opposed to on the actual Tenancy Start Date)

If you have any questions about your legal responsibilities as a Landlord, please contact us for guidance 🆘

EU Nationals and International renters on the decline 📉

EU Nationals and International renters 🌍 on the decline since the Brexit vote 4 years ago ❎.

An analysis of the rental market by Goodlord has revealed a dramatic drop in the number of EU citizens taking up Tenancies ✍ since 2017:

1️⃣ From January 2017 to November 2020 the proportion of EU renters in England fell from 20 per cent to 14 per cent 📉

2️⃣ International Tenants from non-EU countries are also down, from 13 per cent to 11 per cent 📉

3️⃣ The proportion of renters with UK citizenship rose significantly from 66 to 74 per cent 💹

Tom Mundy. COO of Goodlord says 📢, “There was no mass exodus 🚢 of EU citizens following the Brexit vote. Instead, we’ve seen a steady but marked decrease in the number of people from the EU 👫 moving to England over the last four years".

We at Cavendish Residential have certainly seen a decline in the number of overseas applicants in Nottingham ⏬ However, this has not affected our occupancy rates 🔼 and rents have continued to rise year-on-year 📆 since the summer of 2018 📈.
