“Many have experienced issues with rental yield or are investing in more specialist property types, so they will need the support of expert lenders like Vida who can help them despite their more complex requirements.
“A thriving rental sector is key to the recovery of the UK housing market, and with a strong growth trajectory expected in the remortgage BTL sector this year, landlords have a good opportunity to focus on capital raising to extend their BTL portfolios.
