Buy to let mortgage holders could put rent up, says LettingZone

LettingZone has advised landlords that the state of the market means they are justified in upping rents.

Mark Garner, director and founder of the company, predicted rates are set to increase by a few per cent in the near future.

He explained that received wisdom on the rules of supply and demand dictates that if there is a shortage in a product, it will often go up in price.

"Rents are definitely on the way up purely because of the lack of supply. There are no new properties coming on the market," said Mr Garner.

In his opinion, landlords will probably not change the prices of their properties until a tenant moves out, so anyone staying put in their rented house may avoid seeing their expenses rise for the time being.

Recent research by RightMove showed that the return on investment for buy to let homes has surpassed six per cent, which suggests more landlords could be tempted into the sector.
