Welcome to the first Investor Insight survey compiled by Crockers Property Management and Tony Alexander.

Each month, we will survey a selection of the many thousands of residential property investors on our databases with a view to gauging how things are changing over time across a wide range of indicators.

For instance, we will track changes in pressures on rents, points of particular concern, plans regarding property purchases and intentions to sell, and shifts in preferences for property types.

This first survey can, of course, not tell us how things are changing, but it can give some valuable insights into the structure of the residential property investment sector.
