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.

The student rental market is here to stay and it’s expanding. Remember
Tony Blair’s mantra—Education, Education, Education—well student numbers
have risen dramatically and will continue to do so into the future as we
move to a high-tech information based economy—the new economy demands
educated people...
