    BTL Boom!

    House prices post largest annual rise in two years - Telegraph

    Rising rents, rising house prices, it really is a fantastic economy out there!

    There are only 2 ways house prices will fall:

    1) Demand reduces - interest rates would have to go up drastically/economy collapses
    or
    2) Supply increases: a massive house building program is completed.

    At the moment, its simple, too few houses for the demand on a crowded island.
    Hard Brexit now!

      BTL has proved itself through the boom and bust it really is a can't fail investment and in that respect unique. You simply dial in how rich you would like to become and sit back an wait.

          Could be UK government or even European.
          It's already happening via low interest and money liquidity. In effect keeping the first condition of my post above

            At some stage the Government will tap into the BTL cash cow and start taxing it.
