In all honesty I believe "Buy to Let" has reached the end of the road. Ive read that houses were being re-possessed when Interest Rates were at 4.75%, and now at 5,0% they feel more people will fall into the trap!
If you can purchase a run down property at say £125 and with a partner, then it may be worth considering. But I feel that 2007 is going to be a rough year, and we are in for a bumpy ride. I feel that their will be a Property adjustment and a ftse adjustment!..... Sorry?0 -
