What this means for Buy to Let investors
Adam from Your Mortgage Expert comments: “It remains difficult for First Time Buyers to take that first step on the property ladder and, as such, the rental market continues to boom. This means that savvy investors can really profit from the current low mortgage rates coupled with the demand for rental.”
