Belvoir, the biggest letting agents in UK have predicted an active growth for residential property rentals in 2011. It also foresees favorable conditions for those interested in long term investments. Many prospective homeowners are facing lending barriers like tight mortgage, relocations related to jobs and uncertainties. Many cities are facing the greater demand from tenants which exceeds supply. Many consumers now want to buy rather than rent property. At the same time consumers feel the pinch and are concerned about the impact of reductions and present recession, and would rather wait before going ahead with long term purchases.

According to the Association of Residential Lettings Agents, countrywide demand for rental property has reached an 8th year high. There are thousands of public sector job cuts planned for 2011. This will help families from lower income groups with benefit reductions and they will be less inclined towards mortgage. It is also predicted that such favorable market conditions along with falling property prices will offer a big boost to the residential property market and give the best opportunities to landlords. Renting sectors will continue to grow and rents may increase by 5-10%.

Now people will be more comfortable changing jobs. For anyone considering making a long term investment, in the residential property market in terms of buying or renting, the agents will provide them free advice about long and short term investments.

According to a survey, Bristol has the busiest property market in UK today and the highest number of property transactions. It is believed to be second only to London as far as total sales are concerned. The prices are attractive to buyers and this city offers more quality. However, it does come across as one of the most expensive cities to live, the cost of living is high and essential products like diesel costs higher than say diesel Birmingham.
