London lettings demand is strong but so is supply - 2008 - Property Forecast 11(7) July 2008, 6-7(2) .

Describes the outlook for the London lettings market in the current financial downturn. Explains that strong demand is currently coupled with strong supply; as the property base grows thanks to 'unwilling' landlords who are renting their properties as a result of being unable to sell their properties at a suitable price. Suggests that now might be a good time for cash-rich investors to make multiple purchases, as house builders are under pressure to sell properties to clear balance sheets.
