LSL Buy to Let Index and Its Nice to be Proved Right In the End

The LSL Buy to Let Index comes out tomorrow and I fully expect it will show rents are up again.

Good tenants can, of course, do more to help themselves get the property they want, if only more of them “cottoned on” to what private landlords are looking for – as we explained in this recent blog post: A Guide for Tenants

Meanwhile, on the subject of the huge growth of the private rented sector, it’s nice to be proved right. This is what a leading expert was saying about it in The Telegraph earlier this week….

…..And this was what I was saying all the way back in September 2006:

Its a shame that back then, my predictions were much derided by some people as the article from over 5 years ago shows.

Its nice to be proved right in the end.
