The number of visitors pre-registering for March's Show has reached levels roughly in line with the last few years, demonstrating that whilst the tightening up of lending criteria may be putting huge pressure on buyers' finances, demand remains as strong as ever.
Supporting the latest Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) data showing further strengthening of the UK buy-to-let market, 30 per cent of those registered for the Show are full-time property professionals.
The age and wealth of the average visitor has increased over the last year, with a fifth more attendees now earning more than £75,000 per annum.
Nick Clark, managing director of the Homebuyer and Property Investor Show, said: “Investors are aware that there are still good investments to be made in both the UK and overseas property markets.
"People who are knowledgeable are not shying away from the market, and novice investors should follow their lead."
