am of the opinion that buy to let investment in Hounslow, in the long-term, will bring substantial returns for landlords, irrespective of latest regulation and tax changes.

Taking a very conservative (with a small ‘c’) view, I believe landlords will see a projected net profit of

Those Hounslow people wanting property values to drop would be those 30 or 40 something’s, sitting on a sizeable amount of equity………..Yet, if you have recently bought a Hounslow property with a gigantic mortgage, you’ll want Hounslow property values to rise. ……

There is good news for Hounslow buy to let landlords as ‘top of the range’ well-presented properties are getting really decent rents compared to a year ago however, this rise in rents is thwarting many potential first time buyers from saving for both a deposit and money for a rainy day. On top of this, there is also a shortage of Hounslow homes coming on the market thus adding fuel to the slowdown and affecting not just Hounslow first time buyers but also those going up the housing ladder.

Hounslow is currently considerably cheaper than central West London, which is good news for residential buyers as well and investors. With constant significant investment into the area from major developers this makes it one of Central London’s most appealing places to invest and live.
