Online resources: Summary: Reports that buy-to-let investors returned to the market during the second quarter of 2007. Rental growth reached record levels. Increased uncertainty and a slowing housing market, as well as declining assessibility, have reduced the impetus on buyers to enter the housing market. This has boosted tenant demand. 29% more Chartered Surveyors reported a rise than a fall in lettings, an increase of 15% over the first quarter. Surveyors expect rents to reach record growth rates within the coming months.
