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.
