If you're a landlord looking to expand their portfolio, or a buyer considering investing in the lettings market, now could be the right time to do it.
Rental prices are soaring, with an annual rent rise of 7.8% compared to last year, and demand remains strong, with an average of 15 enquiries per rental property currently on the market.
