The recent boom in the buy-to-let market shows few signs of slowing after landlords revealed they plan to carry on buying properties next year.

Tumbling stock markets are rekindling the British love affair with property amid a revival in buy-to-let lending, the British Bankers' Association said today.
Its comments chime with healthier business among buy-to-let lenders such as Paragon, with cash-rich buyers tempted into property by the promise of high rental yields while interest rates are at record lows.

Buy to let is fine.
It's borrow to let which is f*cked."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -

From a personal perspective, I see that rental yields have increased by 50% or so, since the top of the market in 07/08.
I bought in again a few months ago, and its doing very nicely thank you !0 -

interesting to know--what is the aim of BTL! is it long term equity increase or rental yield?(or both)--talking a span of 18 years in my case--and how does CGT impact the termination--

You could consider living in the property for a while as this has a big impact on CGT.0 -

Inevitable.
Boomers making out like a bandit while mortgage rationing holds back the young.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Not knocking this article or the following posters.
BUT.
Howcome when oil prices rise, many people (including those invested in housing) that it will pop.
Howcome when gold rises, nearly every single person invested in housing, detests it so much, they actively campaign to get those invested silenced.
Yet when it comes to BTL, and prices excelling above inflation and wage rises....its all good, and will just rise from here with no end in sight? I say keep it rising. The worse it gets, the closer we will be to proper regulation and sorting it out for once and for all. Just feel sorry for all the vulnerable families in the meantime.0 -

I suspect there will be a fair number of boomers looking at the returns in their pension pot who won't quite feel like the bandits you make them out to be.
Given Inflationary environments and financial meltdown, its inevitable.0
