Nov. 19th, 2007 10:35 amI'm getting sick of all the Daily-Mail-Middle-England-Readers hysteria about Buy-to-Let landlords. It isn't as easy as "landlords bought all the first time buyers properties, so HAH! Let's see you bleed now!!!".
I'm one of those landlords - not out of any sense of wanting to make a quick buck, but just out of "we have to do *something* with this house - any ideas?". I have other dear, dear friends who have houses which they need to sell on, but just can't get shifted.
I'm really hoping that an interest rate cut will gee things up a little here, and that the US property market perks up too. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't all just want things to be finished with our old houses...
*sigh*
