Surely if you have an asset in Zone 1 or Zone 2 the majority of the income will be based on its long term appreciation when you come to sell?

Elsewhere in the country you'll get higher yields, but on a much lower value, so a much lower income, but you also wouldn't get the same level of appreciation in the assets.

I have heard that sales of buy-to-let properties owned by individuals are at a record high.

Yes J that's the point I made. In 15 years you will probably double up which is way more than a rental profit.

It appears that the mortgage market is booming somewhat. Banks falling over themselves to get business. Clearly covid hasn't had that much of a dramatic effect on many financially. I think hmg needs a bit of credit although they will start clawing it back,over time but for now I say we'll done.

heavy taxes on homes that are not owner occupied.

so crucify holiday homes, investor homes, and buy to let. Also, heavy taxes on overseas owners....and go easy on Nigel & Sharon in the UK.

All good ideas in principle. ^^^^^

Yet we see time and time again, those with money exploit the system with dodgy accountancy and putting properties in other people's names.
And Cryst, Covid has seen many people financially ruined,..but there are some well-connected people who've made a fortune and are seeking to re-invest in property.

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

from what ive heard, its the opposite.
people are being declined for all sorts of very small reasons.
maybe its variable , depending on location?

 


Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

If my experience is anything to go by its nor easy ,even my situation of getting a small remortgage 70k with near on 400k equity proved very difficult albeit our age didn't help .But definitely things have tightened up .
