With rent rising, private landlords have never had a better time to buy and rent a property

The impact of the coronavirus left everyone feeling uncertain about the future of the housing market. Everywhere you looked, people were asking questions like:

• Are people going to look to buy rather than rent a property?
• How are people out of work or furloughed going to deal with rising rents?
• Are private landlords going to go out of business with everyone leaving the cities?

Alas, there could be an end in sight, and it seems that the housing market has seen some positive outcomes from this whole debacle.

Time To Rent Out A Property You Own

With restrictions easing and people flooding back into the major cities, there's never been a better time to purchase a rental property. While people may have enjoyed living out in the suburbs for the past 18 months, it's clear that many people are choosing to return to their old ways of life.

Target areas in city centres are becoming highly sought after by renters looking to get back to the buzz of city life.

As of right now, with the number of excellent mortgage deals being offered to first-time buyers, there has never been a better time to invest in a rental property. As a result, not only is the number of people looking to rent increasing but so too are rental prices.

With the general uncertainty over the country's economic future, people are becoming more cautious about investing in property. And, as a result, they are choosing to stick with rental properties.
