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.
