Buying to let
It is estimated that there are about 1 million landlords in the UK. Some of these landlords will own several properties.
Some people will be accidental landlords having had difficulty selling their property, choosing instead to let their property out
Most landlords will have recognised the investment potential that property offers; the attraction of regular rental income paying your mortgage with the prospect of a capital gain on the eventual sale.
In 2007, there were 340,000 buy to let mortgages granted.
With first time buyer mortgage activity constrained, forcing more people to rent, there are good prospects of further buy to let growth.
