Abstract
Overview
Introduction
After a decade of existence, buy-to-let has become very popular among
investors and now accounts for a significant share of the total UK gross
mortgage lending. But what are the future prospects for this sector? What
challenges does it face? How is the competitive structure of the buy-to-let
mortgage market changing? This report provides the answers.
Scope
- Uses Datamonitor' s Intermediary Niche Mortgage Survey to understand
intermediaries' views on a number of areas.
- Provides the market share of the leading lenders in the UK buy-to-let
mortgage market.
- Provides three 5-year scenario-based forecasts.
Report Highlights
Datamonitor' s Intermediary Niche Mortgage Survey reveals that the majority of
the intermediaries surveyed - 59.2 per cent - stated that their buy-to-let
mortgage business increased either slightly or significantly in 2006, thus
further stressing the robust performance of this sector in 2006.
The significant expansion of the buy-to-let mortgage market has not been
without criticism. Indeed, as the sector has grown in size, some commentators
have started suggesting that buy-to-let investors are pricing first-time
buyers (FTBs) out of the property market.
The numerous small players operating in the buy-to-let sectors have
collectively increased their market share substantially, although they are
insignificant individually.
