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 3rd Quarter 2005 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
