Tony Alexander Survey Report December 2022

Key points of interest from this month’s survey

• Following recent interest rate rises investors’ net intentions of purchasing property have declined.
• There is no sign of investors exiting the market; in fact, the proportion considering selling is the lowest since our series began.
• Investor interest in buying a new property is waning while interest in purchasing an existing property is relatively rising.
• Despite rising interest rates there is no clear sign that investors plan accelerating their debt repayments.
• Investors have become more concerned about interest rates rising and property prices falling. But there is a slow decline in concerns about the loss of interest expense deductibility.
