This week: Spring Statement, buy-to-let profits and off-plan purchase pros

This week saw Philip Hammond’s relatively predictable Spring Statement touch upon what the government plans to do about the UK housing market, including a major new deal in the West Midlands. New figures have also revealed the profits made by buy-to-let landlords last year, while the focus on build-to-rent and off-plan purchases remains key for many investors. Here are seven things you might have missed this week…

6. There’s a new way to rent and it’s taking over the market

Traditionally, renting has been seen as a means to an end, a short-term option mainly for youngsters before they get onto the property ladder. But things have changed, and there’s a new tenant in town who is renting out of choice rather than necessity.

7. Borrowers heed the warnings as remortgages reach nine-year high

After the Bank of England base rate rise at the end of last year, the market has been poised for the next raft of rises, with experts predicting as many as three base rate hikes this year and warning borrowers to find the best deals now.
