The lettings market: our view

LettInGS overvIew

The Martin & Co 2016 Landlord Survey reveals that the majority of landlords are taking the vote to leave the EU in their stride. Landlords should be encouraged that in the weeks since the Brexit vote, demand to live in rental properties has remained strong. We expect demand to increase in coming months, as some home purchasing decisions are put on hold and households turn instead to the rental sector for their accommodation.

While tax relief changes and additional purchasing costs are affecting landlords’ decisions, the UK’s lettings market remains a strong, profitable asset class. We have developed the Martin & Co Investor Growth Assessment Tool, which reveals the huge potential for landlords right across the UK and provides a guide for investors to use in deciding where to invest.

Ian Wilson CEO, martin & co

Despite high levels of investor activity earlier in the year, which have added

to rental supply levels, demand continues to outweigh supply. Current levels

of available rental properties across the Martin & Co network are largely

unchanged on this time last year, suggesting that any additional supply is

being quickly let.

Demand for rental properties remains strong and, in the first seven months

of the year, Martin & Co registered 15 new tenants for every property

instructed to let, supporting rental growth across the market. In the second

quarter of 2016, the average rent paid on new tenancies by Martin & Co

tenants was 2% higher than a year earlier, rising from £729 to £744 per

month. On an annual basis, the biggest rent increases have been experienced

in the Midlands and Scotland, rising at 6.3% and 5.6% respectively.

Treasury forecasts for growth in the UK economy have been revised down

from 2.2% for both 2016 and 2017 to 1.6% and 0.7% respectively. This is

likely to result in a slowdown in the growth of household incomes. Given the

close link between income and rental growth, as well as the continuing

expansion of buy-to-let, this could limit future rises in rents.

InveStor aCtIvIty

Investor activity was strong in the first quarter of 2016 as landlords rushed to beat the deadline for the additional stamp duty charge on second property purchasers. The Council of Mortgage Lenders estimate there was £4 billion more lending in March than would usually have been the case. Activity has been quieter since then and the EU referendum brought another level of uncertainty. Despite this, 30% of landlords in our Martin & Co Landlord Survey still expect to grow their portfolios over the next two years. The vast majority (60%) expect to maintain their existing portfolios, while just 10% are looking to reduce them.

Over 60% of landlords have been affected to some degree by the mortgage interest tax relief changes that are to be phased in from Spring 2017. In fact, our survey reveals that many landlords have already taken action to limit their exposure. 41% of landlords who currently have a mortgage on their properties have paid down some of the capital on the mortgage in the last 12 months. Of those who are looking to expand their portfolios, 34% of landlords expect to purchase their next property outright with cash.

Interest rate cuts stimulate mortgage approvals

House prices across the country continue to rise and are now 8.1%

higher than 12 months ago. The strongest growth in values

continues to be in London (13.6%), with the South East and Eastern

regions also seeing double-digit annual growth in prices (12.9% and

12.8% respectively). Looking ahead, a period of slower growth is to

be expected as the market takes stock of the current situation.

Since the Brexit vote, transaction volumes have been hit more

significantly than house prices. Those who don’t have to move may

choose to wait in their current accommodation or even move into

the rental sector until the wider economic situation becomes

clearer. While sales rates in some places had already been affected

before the vote by the impact of additional costs of buying for

second home purchases, Martin & Co bucked this trend. In the first

six months of the year, we agreed 16.5% more sales than in the

same period of 2015.

Some slowdown in activity should also present opportunities for

buyers who are prepared to commit to purchases, and the next few

months could prove to be a good time to purchase.

IntereSt rateS Cut to BooSt ConfIdenCe?

In response to the Brexit uncertainty, the Bank of England cut interest rates in August to their lowest ever level of 0.25%. At the same time a number of measures were announced to increase confidence and boost the economic and housing markets.

Since the financial crisis and the cut in interest rates to their previous low of 0.5%, the number of mortgages approved each year has been steadily increasing.

Mortgage approvals in 2015 were 54% higher than in 2008, while the latest figures show approvals in the first six months as being 9% higher than a year earlier. As the market comes to grips with the current conditions, the latest cut might not immediately result in a significant increase in borrowing. However, low interest rates and the good availability of mortgage debt will provide a confidence boost to homebuyers.

The sales market: our viewIt is too early to assess the full impact of the Brexit vote. However, the market was in a strong position pre-vote and demand outstripped supply. The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) and the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) both report strong levels of first time buyer activity in June, with more loans than in any month since August 2007. An interest rate cut and further stimulus to lending will support the housing market and the fundamentals remain strong. We are not building

enough homes to meet demand and the Housing Minister has restated the government’s commitment to building 1 million new homes by 2020. While transaction levels may be more subdued for a time as a result of the vote, the housing market looks well placed moving forward.

InvEsToR mARkET: the faCtorS that InfLuenCe rentaL deMand

83% of landlords in the Martin & Co survey considered choosing rental

investments in areas with strong tenant demand as extremely or very

important. With the number of potential renters in an area driving the

growth in residential investment values (both rental and capital values),

it is vital for potential investors to fully research areas of opportunity

before committing to purchases.

In order to identify areas likely to have high demand, and therefore growth opportunities, we have created the Martin & Co Investor Growth Assessment Tool. This tool gives landlords a method for measuring investment potential across many areas based on a number of criteria. The tool provides a good template for investment opportunities and should complement your independent research.

6 Infrastructure investment 44 enterprise Zones and 30 housing Zones have been selected by the Government across the uk as focal points for tax breaks, development and Government support.new employment and housing will help fuel demand for rental property in these areas.

4 city living culture Levels of renting amongst the younger generation are at an all-time high, while apartments dominate our cities. our tool highlights where these factors are most dominant.

9 young professionals over 40% of survey respondents indicated that professional couples were target tenants. with the age of a first time buyer now 33, up from 30 just 20 years ago, demand for rental properties is high.

1 fast growing tech sectoremployment and turnover growth in the uk tech sector significantly outperforms the rest of the economy. Locations that score highly are all within the commuter catchments of the uk’s 27 tech Cities.

8 student populationthere are over 170 higher education establishments across the uk, varying in size from under 1,000 students to over 30,000. over half a million students entered higher education in 2015, the highest ever recorded.

10 commuter catchment the twelve core cities of the uk are the powerhouses of employment and economic growth. Most locations within these commuter zones tend to be investment hotspots.

2 visitor destination according to visitBritain, the number of visitor nights spent in the uk increased by 3% in 2015 to 273 million, with short term holiday lets a popular choice for those seeking to explore the uk.

5 development activity the areas experiencing the greatest increase in housing stock, or the locations of significant future planning schemes; both are indicators of a dynamic economy.

3 centre of excellencethe areas that score highly here either benefit from a russell Group institution (public research university), a thriving start-up economy or have high concentrations of jobs in the creative sector.

7 policy supportSignificant public funding has been promised to drive investment and employment within growth areas. the northern powerhouse, Cambridge – oxford Corridor, west Midlands Growth area, and the London – Stansted – oxford corridor should all offer longer term growth opportunities.

we have collated data on ten factors that influence the number of potential renters in a location and growth in the local economy:

The UK’s major cities score highest on the assessment tool – Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, London and Cardiff all score over 45. Cambridge also scores highly thanks to its tech cluster, vibrant city culture, significant population of young professionals and anticipated policy support with the proposed Cambridge – Milton Keynes – Oxford corridor.

For those looking for less obvious investor destinations, looking in-depth at individual criteria produces some areas for consideration. For example, Aylesbury and central Bedfordshire score the maximum 7 for development. Both have witnessed a 5% increase in housing stock since the 2011 census and both have a substantial development pipeline. With

increases in population of over 7% over the last 4 years, compared to England as a whole (3.2%) and currently a quarter of the population aged 20-29 in professional occupations, this could be a future hotspot.

In terms of visitor spend per head of population, areas including Blackpool, Bath and Bournemouth score highly. While Blackpool and Bournemouth also score well thanks to proximity to a Tech cluster, Bournemouth also fares well on City Culture, while Bath excels in terms of development and policy support. Taken together, such factors indicate a good level of demand for rental properties and investment growth.

Give your chosen location a score on each of the criteria between 1 and 7 (or 0 if the category is not relevant) and add the scores together to assess its full potential. the maximum score of 70 is hard to achieve but you will usually only look for perfect scores in one or two areas when you are deciding on a location to invest in.
