Tony Alexander Survey Report April 2022

Key points of interest from this month’s survey

• Investor demand for more property has eased slightly, but intentions to hold for the long-term remain unaffected by rising interest rates and falling house prices.
• There is a downward trend in the proportion of investors looking to expand their portfolio who will develop the property themselves, and a rising trend in the proportion who will purchase an existing property.
• Investors increasingly favour fixing for shorter terms.
• There is no clear sign that rising interest rates are causing accelerating plans to pay down debt.
