Buy to let landlords remain confident
A survey conducted by Serliana Property Investment Consultants reveals that the majority of buy to let mortgage holders are optimistic about the effects of the housing crisis.
The survey of 9,000 property investors found that nearly 80% of landlords think that property prices will increase between now and 2013.
The survey also showed that landlords are still looking to purchase more properties, despite market jitters, and that the main aspect preventing this was the lack of available buy to let mortgage products.

That’s partly the case, from what I’ve heard. Though it’s undeniable that lenders are closing ranks and being more cautious.
