What are the prospects for the buy-to-let market facing a rise in Capital Gains Tax to 28%? This market is still dominated by professional landlords who see residential rental property as a medium to long-term investment. The performance of buy-to-let mortgage portfolios is better than the market data might first suggest. Shortage of buy-to-let finance has hampered the sector during the recession but demand for private rental property is now soaring. Significant growth in the buy-to-let investment market is likely over the next few years.
