Maximize Profits in 2024: How
Lower Property Prices and Increased Rents Boost Buy-to-Let Appeal
New Property
Opportunities Falling Property Prices And Higher Rents Make Buy-to-Let More
Attractive In 2024
In recent years,
the landscape for buy-to-let investors and property owners has posed
significant challenges, marked by soaring interest rates and escalating energy
expenses. The introduction of Section 24, elimination of wear and tear allowances, heightened stamp
duty, and increased regulatory measures have collectively burdened buy-to-let
investors, necessitating adaptation to a shifting and demanding market
environment.
Property prices
peaked, then fell back as interest rate rose, and this year rents have gone
through the roof as demand exceeds supply.
Rents have
reached record highs in most parts of the UK, and of course landlords are
getting the blame. But is it their fault?
In their
defence, landlords have had to pass on the costs that the government have
imposed on them with legislation such as section 24. The policies of the
treasury and central banks have caused economic chaos, higher interest, rates,
higher energy costs, and a shortage of properties, none of which are the
landlords fault.
But could 2024
be the turning point for property investors?
Prices have
fallen in some areas by as much as 20% while rents have doubled over the last
few years, all of which is making buy to let investing look more attractive
than it has done for three years.
In one area I’ve
been looking at, three bed council house, which was selling for as much as
£180,000, can now be picked up for £150,000 or less.
At the same
time, rents have increased in a few short years from £600 per month to £1200
per month.
In other words,
property prices have fallen by almost 20% while rents have doubled.
Even with
mortgages at five or 6%, buy to let investing is starting to look more
attractive.
Furthermore,
prices could fall again in 2024, as economy slows and 2 million people reach
the end of a low fixed rate mortgage.
Institutions
like Lloyds bank and Blackrock are already circling in the sky, waiting to
pounce on cheap property.
Mortgage arrears
are up by 44% on a year ago to £18billion and the Bank of England has issued a
lending warning.
In the case of
Lloyds bank, which is probably the largest lender in the UK, it seems like a
bit of a conflict of interest to be both repossessing Properties, and buying
them through another arm, although we don’t know if that is their intention.
Interest rates
should start falling over the next five years as the economy goes into
recession and inflation comes down to normal levels. This will make mortgages
cheaper offering better profits for landlords.
I think there
will be a lot of opportunity in 2024 for the wise investor who is prepared to
be patient and seek out good deals.
