Young investors still keen on buy-to-let

Despite rising taxes and regulations, a survey by Market Financial Solutions reveals that a third of Britons still aspire to own a buy-to-let property. The survey highlights significant interest among younger individuals, with over half of those aged 18 to 34 expressing a desire to invest in rental properties. Paresh Raja, chief executive of Market Financial Solutions, explained: "It has become popular over the past decade to bash buy-to-let investing as being increasingly unappealing, but clearly that is far from the case." The report indicates that while challenges exist, particularly with increased costs and regulations, many still view property as a stable investment. The appetite for buy-to-let remains, especially if mortgage rates decrease in the future, potentially encouraging more investors to enter the market.
