Welcome from the Editor:

Welcome to the September 2007 issue of the LandlordZONE Newsletter.

What a week it’s been in the markets. I’ve never seen a run on a bank before, not quite in such a dramatic fashion anyway.
From the market reports you read the property market is heading anywhere between a slow-down and a complete crash.  Read David Smith’s blog for a conservative view economicsuk.com to housepricecrash.co.uk for the whole range of views.
There’s no doubt large sections of the commercial property market have dropped back, perhaps by 10% already. The residential market is less certain in my view, as there’s so many positive factors supporting it.
Any set-back can be seen as an opportunity in the investment world and those sitting on a cash mountain pray for times like this—it’s not all bad.
Buy-to-Let generally should hold up well as even with a crash, it won’t be any easier for FTBs to get a mortgage and actually get in the market—there will still be a health demand for renting, and rents may rise.
If you’re in London at the Property Investor Show this Saturday (Excel Centre, Docklands) I shall be giving another seminar on “Investing in Commercial Property: Successful Strategies for the Private Investor”—come along and see it.
