Buy-to-let properties in despair

-
With the economy taking hold, property auctioneers reported a significant increase in the number of repossessed homes instructed for sale.

In particular, 40% of 410 lots are distressed sales that let down buy-to-let investors and as that they are to demolish.

There is also a noticeable increase in the number of properties asked to sell by banks and building societies that operate as mortgagees. It's a fact, distressed sales are rising.

Property industry had faced a similar situation in the early 90's with the housing crash but the today's crisis is not considered as serious as that one.

To put it into simple words, organizations that act as mortgagees such as mortgage companies and banks can repossess a property in case the owner fails to pay out the mortgage repayments. This may occur due to difficulty the investor faces to find a tenant or yet, because of the financial wearing off of the property's venture.

Now is the best time to start considering making an investment in holiday property though. The Great British Pound is slowly growing in strength against the Euro, in fact buyers can expect to buy 25% more Euros per pound than they could three years ago, when the exchange rate was almost equal. It means that you get a lot more for your money. This is coupled with a housing crash in many European countries. Spain in particular is a hotspot for those looking to purchase a holiday home. Due to the severe economic downturn in the country, house prices have plummeted, with some Spanish banks offering some properties discounted up to 70% against their 2008 price. Head of Savills
