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.
