The buy-to-let market continues to show signs of improvement with more lenders entering the market and existing lenders cutting rates across their buy-to-let product ranges.  There are now 306 mortgages available to buy-to-let landlords, compared to just 79 one year ago.

Dominic Agace, CEO of M Winkworth PLC, said:

“There has been some resurgence in the availability of buy-to-let mortgages, although, on the whole, these still remain targeted at those with equity.  As a result, ongoing supply constraints will continue to put upward pressure on rents creating good opportunities for investors with at least 20% equity to achieve healthier gross yields on investment property.”
