UK’s Love for Buy-to-Let Is Still Strong: One in Three Adults Aspire to Be Landlords

Despite ongoing challenges in the property market, the UK’s enthusiasm for buy-to-let (BTL) investing remains surprisingly resilient. According to new research by Market Financial Solutions, a third of UK adults still want to own a BTL property, with interest especially high among younger generations.

At VIAP Finance, we believe this is more than just a statistic—it’s a signal that property investment is far from fading. Whether you’re an aspiring landlord or a seasoned property investor, the demand for fast, flexible financing options is rising—and that’s exactly what we deliver.

Barriers to Entry: Cost, Criteria & Complexity

While the interest is strong, the research also shows that many younger people feel locked out of the BTL market due to:

• High house prices
• Rising borrowing costs
• Stricter affordability criteria
• Tougher rental regulations

This is where VIAP Finance’s bridging solutions come in—helping investors move quickly and confidently even in a challenging landscape.
