Buy To Let Landlords Remain Positive

Most residential landlords are still positive about the prospects of the country’s buy-to-let sector, but according to a survey conducted by CHL Mortgages, uncertainty has risen noticeably, compared to figures published six months ago. In fact, 81% of landlords believed that the sector was headed in the right direction in late January, but the newest CHL study found that this figure slipped to 64%.

Additionally, one in four landlords indicated that they were uncertain about the sector’s prospects in the near future, representing a significant increase from the much lower 9% figure published at the beginning of the year. This drop in confidence may have a significant impact on residential property sales, as the number of landlords looking to add to their portfolio has dropped to 28%. This represents a 10% decrease from the last survey. As such, the supply of rental properties may continue to lag behind the strong demand that currently characterizes the buy-to-let sector.

There is a clear reason as to why more landlords no longer plan to purchase new properties. Many have expressed frustration over the fact that buy-to-let lending has not yet recovered. Bob Young, CHL’s managing director, noted that many landlords would prefer more flexible deposit regulations, thus decreasing the amount necessary to obtain a mortgage.

While fewer landlords are looking to purchase new properties, a clear majority intends to keep its current real estate and does not plan to sell. While 53% of landlords said that they would not sell back in January, this figure now stands at 66%.

London home sellers cut 17,000 pounds ($26,500) off their asking prices on average in August, wiping out gains recorded in the first half of the year, Rightmove Plc said.

Asking prices in the capital fell 4.1 percent on the month to an average 405,058 pounds, the operator of the nation’s biggest property website said in a report today. The drop is the biggest in two years and returns values to levels seen in January. Prices across England and Wales fell 1.7 percent.

Reports from Nationwide Building Society and Halifax also signal that the U.K.’s housing recovery is faltering, while Rightmove said a squeeze in the availability of credit may limit price gains. Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said Aug. 11 the banking system is still “badly damaged” and that is keeping lenders’ funding costs high.

“Mortgage levels have a lender-imposed ceiling,” Miles Shipside, commercial director at Rightmove, said in the statement. “If you can’t raise a beefy deposit, cheaper property prices won’t help you much.”

Rightmove’s data show the London boroughs of Wandsworth and Brent led declines in the capital, falling 6.2 percent. Newham was the best performer, slipping 1.2 percent, while the Kensington and Chelsea district fell 1.7 percent.

RICS UK Housing Market Survey July 2010

More chartered surveyors reported a fall than a rise in house prices for the first time since July 2009 as demand from purchasers slipped back and the number of properties coming to the market continued to increase, says the latest RICS UK Housing Market survey.

Eight per cent more surveyors reported a fall rather than rise in house prices - the lowest reading in more than a year, when 16 per cent more reported price falls.

In contrast, last month saw eight per cent more surveyors reporting rising, not falling prices. Regionally, the only areas which continued to see material price rises in the past month were London and the North West.

The fall in the RICS house price measure is broadly consistent with most other recent data that has been released. This is a reflection of both the increase in supply following the scrapping of HIPS and the more cautious stance from buyers.
Significantly, the forward looking price expectations numbers suggest that this softer trend will continue through the second half of the year. However, agents are still generally optimistic about sales activity which should benefit from more realistic pricing of properties.

Rightmove; 45% Tenants Surveyed Expect Rent Rise

Bloomberg reports that almost half of Britons who rent their homes predict they will have to pay more for their accommodation in a year’s time, Rightmove Plc said.

Forty-five percent of tenants surveyed expect their rent to increase in 2011, the fifth consecutive quarterly gain and 12 percent more than a year ago, the operator of Britain’s biggest property website said in an e-mailed statement today in London. The number of properties available for rent by real-estate agents dropped by a fifth in June, compared with a year earlier.

Britons’ ability to buy homes is being impaired by banks’ rationing of mortgages, while the government’s planned spending cuts, the deepest since World War II, have sparked concern the economy may plunge back into a recession. Mortgage approvals fell to a four-month low in June, while consumer confidence dropped in July, according to GfK NOP.

“Many renters are caught in a ‘financial markets crossfire,’ taking financial hits from all directions,” Miles Shipside, commercial director at Rightmove, said in the statement. “As well as being negatively impacted by the new government’s austerity measure, they are likely to have to compete harder and pay more for the dwindling choice of rented accommodation.”

Rightmove surveyed 2,124 people online between July 5 and July 19.

Residential Property Prices and Increase

The RLA reports that the London area has not been the only part of the UK to experience impressive increases in residential property values and sales over the past year. According to the most recent statistics, the real estate sector in much of Scotland and parts of northern England is performing well, with the highest prices measured in Edinburgh. The Registers of Scotland found that the average price of a home rose by 5.3% during the first part of the year, compared to figures from early 2009. Even more impressively, the number of property sales has soared by 17.1%.

The encouraging news for homeowners and landlords is that prices and sales in Scotland have been increasing for five straight months. But many experts continue to caution against excessive confidence and optimism. The rise in house sales also suggests that more properties are hitting the market at a time when demand is not growing by nearly the same proportion. As such, a market slowdown is a possibility, especially towards the end of the year and in early 2011.
