“Today’s figures reveal that the property market has shrugged off the summer lull”

Aman Bajwa, director and co-founder of Fairbridge Capital, said: “Today’s figures reveal that the property market has shrugged off the summer lull, and is showing no signs of slowing down, as we enter what is traditionally a busier period. Investors are getting back into the property market as interest rates fall, with several sub-4% five-year mortgage deals now available; this, paired with lower inflation, is fuelling demand.

“With rents increasing faster than house prices, and rumours that the base rate could hit 4.5% before the end of the year, activity shows no signs of stopping either.

“Landlords who haven’t expanded their businesses over the turmoil of recent years are re-entering the market, and new landlords are making their first foray into property investment.

“To maximise opportunities in the BTL space, flexibility will remain critical. Specialist lenders can help customers get access to finance exactly when they need it, to give them the best chance possible of making a successful investment.”
