Many people are spelling the death of buy-to-let this week, but there are still lots of opportunities out there.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders revealed last week that buy-to-let arrears had risen to 1.58%, ahead of the residential average of 1.44%. This has led many people to predict that buy-to-let will die out as less landlords are able to find a mortgage or refinance.

But this simply is not true. The basic fact is that people need homes and whatever the Government do to help them, people still cannot afford to buy their own property. This means there is, and always will be, potential for rental properties.

Also, with repossessions and arrears on the rise for buy-to-let properties, there are going to be more opportunities for those who are financial secure and want to get into or extend their buy-to-let proposition.

The key to success now is planning, planning and more planning. The landlord with the right property and the right mortgage will always succeed in the UK. All it takes is some sensible decisions and most importantly some good professional advice.
