ARLA Members Survey of the Buy to Let sector - Third Quarter 2007
(130k)
Introduction & Background
The mortgage lenders who make up the ARLA group of buy to let mortgage lenders
are keen to ensure that the service they provide to ARLA members is relevant to
their needs and takes account of the specific and unique requirements of
residential letting agents and their investor landlords. In order to help
achieve this, ARLA has commissioned research to ensure that the ARLA group of
buy to let mortgage lenders are kept up to date with agents’ requirements and
concerns as they change with economic conditions, hopes and fears.
The research is conducted by Owen Carey Jones
who specialises in the UK mortgage market and currently conducts several regular
quarterly surveys of residential landlords and financial advisers on behalf of a
number of clients.
Methodology
Having considered the objectives of this project, it was decided that the most
appropriate method to use was postal questionnaires. Questionnaires were sent to
2,067 letting offices of ARLA members in August 2007 and 463 validly completed
questionnaires were returned by the due date. These responses were input to our
research analysis software and tables of data produced on which this report is
based.
