The ARLA Review and Index covers rents achieved, returns, voids, viewings per letting, types of investment and supply and demand. This data also provides the basis for The ARLA Review and Index which is supported by the ARLA Panel of Mortgage Lenders.
The 2nd Quarter 2004 Review and Index contains data on the following areas:
- Annual Rates of Return on Buy to Let Investment
- Effect on Annual Rates of Return of Different Rates of House Price Inflation
- Differences in Annual Rates of Return for Houses and Flats
- Fourth Quarter Calculation Examples
- Lending Trends
Note: The information is for guidance only. The responsibility for the financial decision to Buy-to-Let can only rest with the investor. Most letting agents will not accept responsibility for the validity of investments, costs incurred or for mortgage arrangements made, although those who are also registered as financial advisers may do otherwise.
It should be noted that as with any investment, returns and capital values can go down as well as up; and the investor should be fully aware of the terms and conditions applied by the chosen mortgage lender. Letting agents must present their own written terms of business for letting and managing properties
