Tony Alexander Survey Report August 2022

Key points of interest from this month’s survey

• The proportion of investors looking to increase their rents in the next 12 months continues to decline as does the average rent rise sought.
• Consistent with data from other sources, bank willingness to lend is seen by investors to be improving.
• Net plans for purchasing more investment property have fallen away this month.
• Of those planning a purchase, interest in a new build has declined, driven perhaps by concerns about developer ability to deliver amidst many resourcing problems.
• Investor concerns about rising interest rates are abating.
