Private Rented Sector Grows to £1.4trn

The value of the Private Rented Sector (PRS) in England, Wales and Scotland grew by 5.8 per cent to £1.4trn in the last year according to a new report from Shawbrook Bank.

Since the first national lockdown, house prices have rebounded at pace. March 2021 saw house price growth of 9.9 per cent year on year, as the Stamp Duty holiday boosted confidence and demand. Buy-to-let properties have also seen marked price increases, with the value of the average buy-to let property across the UK rising by 5.6 per cent to December 2020 to approximately £258,900.

The past eighteen months have been a period of substantial consequence for the PRS, which had already been impacted in recent years by taxation and regulatory changes. Some landlords chose to leave the market and the PRS actually contracted in size over the last year. Separately, many tenants made a change, opting to return to their family homes during the pandemic, to leave cities in search of more space, or to make the most of the Stamp Duty holiday and become homeowners themselves. This reduction in the size of the PRS therefore isn’t surprising after the last year. The outlook however points to growth.

Demand from tenants has been growing. In total, 42 per cent of landlords report that they have seen demand increase for their properties in the past 12 months.

In addition, two thirds (67 per cent) of landlords said that they were confident about the future of the property market over the next twelve months, with a third (34 per cent) of all landlords planning to buy a property in the coming year.

As house prices continue to grow, an increasing number of people are renting for longer. Half (49 per cent) of renters say they expect to be renting for the rest of their life. Affordability is one reason behind these figures. However, a growing number are also choosing to stay renting. More flexible lifestyles have led to some looking for the same from their property. In total, 10 per cent said they prefer the reduced responsibility of renting, while a further 7 per cent said that renting allowed them to live in a better location than if they bought.

When asked why they were confident about the future of the property market, landlords pointed to house price growth (41 per cent), an increase in demand from tenants (41 per cent), the general strength of the economy (33 per cent), and the increased rental yields currently available (26 per cent).

For landlords looking to buy over the next year, to capitalise on the increase in tenant demand, and current low mortgage rates, Shawbrook’s research reveals the regions where high rental yields can be achieved. The highest rental yields can be found in the North West (5.5 per cent), Yorkshire and the Humber (5.4 per cent) and Scotland (5.8 per cent). In comparison, while London may generate the highest rents, yields for London buy-to-let properties are currently amongst the lowest at 3.9 per cent, below the UK average of 4.3 per cent.

John Eastgate, MD, Property Finance at Shawbrook Bank, comments: “Against the backdrop of the pandemic, the PRS has once again shown its strength and the important role it plays. Landlords are looking to expand their portfolios due to a combination of rising house prices, attractive yields and growing demand from tenants. Borrowing to help fund this expansion is an attractive option, with landlords presented with great choice and historically low mortgage costs.

He added: “While more first-time buyers have stepped onto the property ladder in the last year, the reality is that rising house prices mean more will continue to be locked out of home-ownership. This, coupled with disruption to employment and lagging wage inflation, will make it difficult for some to buy their own home. In addition, with more choosing to rent for the flexibility and freedom it offers, there is a clear need for professional landlords who can offer high quality accommodation.”

NRLA: Demand for rental properties reaches five year high

The demand for private rented housing has reached a five-year high, according to research released by the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA).

The survey of private landlords across England and Wales, conducted in partnership with research consultancy BVA/BDRC, found that 39% confirmed demand for homes to rent had increased in the second quarter of 2021 – 8% more than said so in the first quarter of the year.

In Yorkshire and the Humber, Wales, the South West and the South East more than 60% of landlords said that demand for homes to rent had increased.

In contrast, just 15% of landlords in central London said demand had increased in the second quarter of the year, compared with 53% who said it had fallen.

Despite an overall increase in demand, the proportion of landlords intending to buy property has fallen from the four year high of 19% recorded in the first quarter of the year, to 14%.

In comparison, the proportion looking to divest has returned to 20%, up three percentage points from the first quarter of the year.

As COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, 55% of landlords said that their lettings business will continue to be negatively impacted as a result of the pandemic.

An estimated 81% of those in outer London and 78% of those in central London said they would be negatively impacted.

At the other end of the spectrum, 49% of those in Yorkshire and the Humber said they would be negatively affected.

Chris Norris, policy director for the NRLA, said: “The evidence is clear that nationally whilst the demand for homes to rent is increasing, landlords are more reluctant to invest in new properties.

“The only losers will be tenants as they struggle to find the homes to rent they need.

“The Chancellor needs to recognise the harm being done by tax hikes imposed on the sector.

“It is clear that there is a significant flight of tenants from the capital in response to the COVID pandemic.

“With lockdown restrictions having ended, and offices beginning to reopen, the jury is out as to whether this trend will continue.”

Where are buy-to-let landlords the most confident about sector prospects?

Confidence among buy-to-let landlords is increasing nationally, but there are certain areas where landlords are particularly confident about sector prospects with increasing demand and shorter void periods.

Every quarter the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) undertakes a survey asking landlords if they are feeling more or less confident about achieving their goals compared to the previous quarter.

National landlord confidence has grown for the third consecutive quarter. Confidence is also at the highest level recorded in the 10 quarters the index has been running. This is the most sustained trend seen for landlord confidence in the buy-to-let sector.

In the past year, 15% of buy-to-let landlords surveyed have purchased property. Those who have bought cited anticipated changes in economic conditions as the most influential factor in their property portfolio decisions. Landlords who have bought recently appear to be particularly optimistic about the future.

Recently, there has been a pattern of a growing proportion of buy-to-let landlords planning to purchase additional properties. The proportion of landlords planning to buy in the next year is 50% higher than in the first quarter of 2020 with 22% of landlords. This is the fifth quarter in a row where this has increased. Additionally, it’s the highest figure recorded since this survey first began.

Areas with the most and least confident landlords

A number of regions are seeing landlord confidence above the national average. Yorkshire and the Humber leads the way with landlords the most confident there. The West Midlands, north-west, south-west, east of England and East Midlands all came in above the national average of landlord confidence.

Although confidence among landlords has generally increased, the north-east, south-east and East Midlands saw a downturn in confidence compared to the previous quarter. Inner London is where landlords are the least confident throughout England and Wales. And the north-east, London, Wales, Outer London and the south-east also see landlord confidence below the national average.

Increasing tenant demand

The survey by NRLA has revealed landlords have seen an increase in tenant demand for the second quarter in a row. When asked about their perception of demand in their area, more buy-to-let landlords stated they have noted an increase than a decrease.

Discover our Buy to Let Mortgage Broker services.

The net score from that is the highest NRLA has seen since the association began recording demand in the second quarter of 2019. This score has also grown by nearly 10 percentage points since the previous quarter.

Shorter void periods

On a national level, 67% of vacant properties remain empty for less than four weeks. This is a five percent increase on the previous quarter. It’s also almost as high as pre-pandemic numbers, when this figure stood at 68%.

This shows that the majority of landlords’ properties are being turned over and filled increasingly quickly. These shorter void periods is likely due to the strong demand and need for more housing across England and Wales.

With increasing demand and shorter void periods in the private rented sector, landlords confidence could grow further. This could then lead to more investors expanding their portfolios in the next quarter.

How to show landlords that buy-to-let is still a good investment

Predictions on the future of buy-to-let vary greatly. Some say that the buy-to-let sector is thriving and will continue to grow and expand in line with increasing tenant demand. Others say that the weight of legislation and the associated costs are driving landlords out of the market. So what does this all mean for the future of the industry and how can you encourage your landlords to continue to invest?

Buy-to-let landlords coming and going

First, let’s take a look at the stats. The Nottingham Building Society estimated that 20% of buy-to-let landlords intend to sell all or some of their portfolio over the next two years. This nearly balances with the 16 percent that aim to buy more properties over the same period – but not quite. Research by University of York’s Centre for Housing Policy points to one explanation: ‘baby boomer’ landlords ageing out of the market and not being replaced by younger landlords at the same rate.

To stem the flow of landlords leaving and to help potential new landlords see the benefits of the sector, your agency needs to show the importance of its role in supporting landlords throughout their journey. The building society’s research showed that 52 percent of landlords intending to sell up blamed this on increased regulation in a recent survey. This leaves an opening for you to help potential landlords recognise the importance of choosing the right agency to help them stay compliant or to show why your current landlords would benefit from your fully managed option.

Buy-to-let limited companies

The end of tax relief on buy-to-let mortgages is another reason cited for 24 percent of landlords planning to leave the industry. However, the question of tax is also driving a new positive trend in the market, with more buy-to-let landlords forming limited companies.

When registered as a company, landlords can grow their portfolios more quickly as they can offset the interest on their mortgage against the profits they make. They also benefit from corporation tax rates which are lower than income tax ones. Hamptons Countrywide found that 41,700 buy-to-let limited companies were formed in 2020 – an increase of 23% on 2019 and a record number, which could help give your landlords more confidence in this route for investment.

Buy-to-let mortgage choice expanding

The increased demand from tenants has also had a positive impact on the number of buy-to-let mortgage products available. Moneyfacts highlighted 2,709 mortgages available in July 2021 – and this influx of new choice means that average rates have started to fall to lower than in July 2019. Which? notes that some of your landlords coming to the end of two-year fixes may even be able to remortgage at a cheaper rate.

Discover our Buy to Let Mortgage Broker services.

The Paragon Bank echoes this positive sentiment, with buy-to-let mortgage lending up by a third between 1 October to 30 June against the same period in 2020, up to £911.4 million – and applications are still going strong despite the phasing out of the stamp duty holiday.

Investment opportunities in energy efficient homes

As the government continues to advance its plans to increase the minimum energy efficiency standards for private rented properties to EPC Band C on new tenancies by 2028, landlords are understandably concerned about the costs involved with implementing the necessary changes to their properties, projected to be up to £7,646 per property according to the the Office of National Statistics.

However, there are opportunities out there for your landlords looking to invest. Eighty-two percent of landlords, investors and brokers in a recent survey said that they’d prioritise “environmental friendliness and energy efficiency” when buying properties. This taps into increased tenant support for sustainable solutions, and could also have a cost benefit for your landlord; green mortgages could offer your buy-to-let investors lower interest rates if they were to invest in energy efficient properties.

For those with properties already, you could advise your landlords on some low cost ways to improve their properties’ energy efficiency, including using low energy lighting, estimated to cost £38 on average, insulating hot water cylinders at around £23, and draught-proofing windows at £100.

The best places for buy-to-let investment

Trends in the number of buy-to-let landlords in the market should also take into account those areas where investors are seeing the most success. Research by Intus Lettings shows that void periods have dropped for buy-to-let landlords, with a growing number of properties with near complete year-round occupancy in some regions – a quarter of the landlords in the east of England said that their properties were empty for less than a month over a one year period, for example. This reflects Goodlord’s Rental Index data which show that in July 2021 voids on average across England were at their lowest level since August 2019 – so, all in all, a positive outlook.

Some areas of the UK offer higher yields for landlords – and if you’re an agent that’s lucky enough to operate in those areas, you have a strong argument for helping to encourage landlords to join the market. Recent figures show that the North East of England offers the best buy-to-let yields. If you’re advising potential landlords on where to invest, that could be a good place to start.

UK buy-to-let has ‘defied gravity’ through Covid-19, says S&P

The UK buy-to-let (BTL) market remained resilient through the Covid-19 pandemic and has features that could help it remain buoyant, says S&P Global Ratings in a new report.

Amid the pandemic-related lockdowns, private sector UK rental arrears reached 9.0 per cent by the end of 2020, but the S&P RMBS post-2014 originations buy-to-let (BTL) index recorded total delinquencies no higher than 0.5 per cent.

To find out more about how we can assist you with your Mortgage requirements, please click here to get in touch

“Diversification in terms of property and borrowers, the increasingly professional nature of BTL, and generally high debt servicing ratios has helped buy-to-let performance remain resilient,” says S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Alastair Bigley.

For post-2014 originations, approximately 50 per cent of properties at a portfolio level could be in rental arrears in the short term before it would affect debt service and cause a significant spike in arrears.

Ultimately, Covid-19 represented a shock to only one risk factor that determines BTL performance – tenant affordability – while other factors such as the prevailing interest rate environment and house prices were supportive.

“Looking forward, although peak stress for landlords may be argued to be over, the recent prominence of 95 per cent owner-occupied lending may facilitate some renters to become buyers and change the supply-and-demand dynamics for certain properties, and make some properties harder to rent,” says Bigley.

Confidence in buy-to-let business continues to grow among brokers

In Q2 2021, the proportion of brokers forecasting a rise in buy-to-let mortgage business over the next 12 months has increased.

Despite the tapering of the stamp duty holiday, a survey by Paragon reveals 53% of mortgage brokers expect buy-to-let business to increase over the next year. This is compared to 50% in the first quarter of 2021. At the same time, the proportion of brokers forecasting declining levels of business stayed consistent at 10%.

Moray Hulme says: “These figures suggest that the strong levels of buy-to-let business witnessed over the last six to nine months wasn’t just as a result of the Stamp Duty stimulus, but down to more fundamental shifts in where and how people want to live.”

Buy-to-let demand is high

During the second quarter of 2021, brokers reported that demand for buy-to-let was high. Specifically, 42% of intermediaries said demand was “strong”. And 8% stated demand was “very strong”. In the second quarter of 2020, which was at the height of the pandemic, there were only 26% who felt this way.

Additionally, only 10% of those surveyed reported buy-to-let demand to be weak. That is compared to 30% during the corresponding quarter last year.

Overall, the confidence among brokers is generally high. In the survey, 91% said they were confident about the outlook for their business over the next year. This was especially prevalent for those seeing high levels of buy-to-let business with 97% among that cohort.

“There has certainly been a growth in tenant demand for family homes, for example, and landlords are reacting accordingly.”

Investing in buy-to-let

With demand in the private rented sector at high levels across the UK, this is providing a boost to the buy-to-let sector. Recently, many landlords have seen a drop in void periods and higher yields.

Additionally, the number of buy-to-let mortgages reached the highest level since March 2020. Investors and landlords have been welcoming the additional choice. With the increased competition, interest rates are still historically low.

Many landlords are locking in competitive mortgage deals. This is leading more buy-to-let investors to expand their property portfolio. Additionally, this year, more first-time landlords have even entered the buy-to-let sector due to the enticing market conditions.

“We still expect to see business levels moderate as the stamp duty holiday ends but landlords are seeing plenty of opportunities to expand their portfolios to meet excellent levels of tenant demand and changes in the type of property people now want to rent.

“There has certainly been a growth in tenant demand for family homes, for example, and landlords are reacting accordingly.”

Brokers also reported that demand for buy-to-let was strong during the quarter itself, with 42% of intermediaries stating demand was ‘strong’ and 8% ‘very strong’.

That compares to 26% in the corresponding period last year at the height of the pandemic.

Just 10% of respondents reported buy-to-let demand as weak during the period, compared with 30% during the second quarter of 2020.

Moray Hulme added: “Mortgage brokers have experienced a busy 12 months after the initial panic of the coronavirus pandemic.

“They enter the second half of 2021 in a confident, robust mood, which is indicative of the underlying demand for mortgage products.”

Energy efficiency has become a top priority for buy-to-let investors

When making investment decisions, many buy-to-let investors are considering green credentials of properties, alongside rental yields and opportunity for capital growth.

New research by Hodge reveals buy-to-let investors are starting to put more importance on the energy efficiency of properties. In a survey of landlords, investors and brokers, 82% of respondents said environmental friendliness and energy efficiency were a top consideration when purchasing properties.

Green credentials even made it in the top three considerations when making decisions on property investments, along with the opportunity for capital growth and rental yields. Hodge also pointed out that other recent research is indicating that people are prioritising living more sustainable lives.

To find out more about how we can assist you with your Mortgage requirements, please click here to get in touch

A Savills report revealed 26% of people consider the environment the most important issue facing the country. Additionally, research by Opinium showed 78% of the public feel they have a personal responsibility to deal with the climate crisis. Many of the people included in this research will be renters, showing the need for more eco-friendly properties.

Property priorities are changing

To stay competitive, buy-to-let investors need to adapt to these tenant preferences and the changing market. Investors, along with property developers, will need to provide more choice in sustainable housing options moving forward. And it’s positive to see investors are already prioritising green credentials.

Andy Button, head of investment finance at Hodge, says: “The buy-to-let market is particularly buoyant right now with demand continuing to grow throughout the pandemic, and it’s interesting to see how the priorities for landlords are changing when looking to add to their portfolio.

New-builds in high demand

The government has a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Improving the energy efficiency of housing will play an important part in achieving this. There is even talk that the government could further increase minimum EPC ratings for properties in the private rented sector in the coming years. Currently, all privately rented properties need to achieve a grade E or higher.

Discover our Buy to Let Mortgage Broker services.

With the latest environmental standards, new-builds are greener properties. The majority of new-build properties have an A or B EPC rating. Higher green standards are even being introduced. This will further lower energy consumption and reduce bills for occupiers.

New-builds are more appealing to tenants compared to old, tired properties. The high environmental standards and lower bills provide benefits to tenants. This makes energy efficient new-builds ideal for buy-to-let investment. Because of this, good quality new-builds are becoming increasingly sought after.

Andy adds: “It’s clear that sustainability will feature more and more in new build development design, and more stringent compliance to EPC, and an investment strategy more closely aligned to sustainability could actually improve cash flows in the longer term, as tenants might be prepared to pay higher rents, in exchange for lower utility costs.

Portfolio landlords prefer to trust brokers to find the best loan

The majority (73%) of buy-to-let (BTL) landlords prefer to access finance through a broker, rather than going directly to lenders, according to Hodge research.

The research, which asked portfolio BTL landlords and brokers for their views, also found that 71% of larger investors (with portfolios of between £2m and £50m) specified that a broker had saved them money by getting them a good deal.

In addition, 40% of BTL landlords said they found researching a suitable mortgage product themselves to be frustrating, with annoyances including interest rates (35%), lack of clarity over charges (35%), and mortgage or loan underwriting (31%).

Mike Clifford, head of commercial propositions at Hodge, said: “Our research shows borrowers clearly value the support of a broker to find them the best deal and trust them to find a lender that suits their needs.

“With so many borrowers putting their trust in brokers to find them a loan that suits them, brokers are seen as a key link between lenders and investors – with the added benefit of removing frustrations for landlords.

“The residential market is still very buoyant and many buy-to-let landlords are on the look-out for new properties to add to their portfolio.

“When it comes to lenders they want flexibility, speed and efficiency, something we strive to achieve here at Hodge.

“Hodge has a small, specialist residential investment team who aim to provide a bespoke and flexible service to both brokers and investors.

“Getting to know our customers, listening to their feedback and keeping them in the loop when it comes to criteria changes and product enhancements allows us offer greater flexibility and match the right product to the right investor.

“The Hodge portfolio buy-to-let loan allows landlords to control their assets under one loan, with the flexibility to remove and add properties, ensuring a far more streamlined, flexible product, which, according to our research, is just want landlords – and brokers – are looking for.”

Plenty of choice for landlords as buy-to-let options increase

Buy-to-let product choice has increased whilst average two and five-year fixed rates have fallen, according to the latest analysis from Moneyfacts.co.uk.

New figures revealed the average two-year fixed rate was lower now than compared to 2019.

Meanwhile, the beginning of July saw the highest number of product options on offer in the buy-to-let space.

The 2,709 deals on the market at the start of this month represented a 971 leap on this time last year when availability was limited following the product withdrawals which took place during the pandemic.

To find out more about how we can assist you with your Mortgage requirements, please click here to get in touch

Moneyfacts said, landlords with 40% equity or deposit would find, even though their level of product choice was lower than this time last year, they were amongst those who might be able to secure a competitive new deal as the average two and five-year fixed rates in this bracket both remained 0.03% lower year-on-year.

Eleanor Williams, finance expert at Moneyfacts.co.uk, said there were also 365 deals more available now than were recorded in July 2019, demonstrating the strength and resilience of the sector in the aftermath of an unprecedented 18 months.

“The demand for buy-to-let could well remain strong in the months to come as rental demand is prevalent, indicated by recent research from Propertymark’s Private Rented Sector report, May saw a record-breaking number of new prospective tenants registered,” she added.

Discover our Buy to Let Mortgage Broker services.

“Whether now is the right time to invest in property may also come down to the desire to earn a decent income.

“Indeed, research from Nottingham Building Society revealed that 61% of landlords surveyed felt property was a better investment due to low interest rates for savings – and this coupled with high demand for rental accommodation could sway new investors to dive into the buy-to-let sector.”

Williams also explained, due to the influence of the pandemic, interest rates for buy-to-let had climbed year-on-year with the overall two and five-year average interest rates of 2.98% and 3.28% being 0.37% and 0.31% higher respectively than a year ago.

This, she said, may be linked to the increase in availability of higher loan-to-value products.

She added: “These higher LTV deals usually charge a higher rate and can therefore impact these averages. However, despite creeping up a further 0.02% month-on-month, what is positive is the fact that the overall two-year fixed rate is lower now than in June 2019 – which means those coming off a two-year fixed deal may still find a better deal, depending on how much they have in equity and their circumstances.

“There could still be some understandable hesitation from prospective landlords with some existing investors who could even be considering downsizing their portfolio depending on the pandemic’s impact. However, we are beginning to see some improvements in average rates in certain loan-to-value brackets on a month-on-month basis.

“As house prices rise, demand for rental accommodation is high, and savings rates remain poor, therefore, investing in property could be enticing to some. It is vital though that would-be landlords and those looking to change their deal seek advice to ensure it’s the right time for them and they find the best package for their circumstances and plans.”
