A study by Kent Reliance reveals that the buy-to-let sector is set to increase by some 700,000 households by 2020. This would account for one fifth of the total housing stock in the UK. Currently, the PRS (Private Rented Sector) accounts for 18% of all housing stock. Andy Golding, Chief Executive of Kent Reliance says “Buy-to-let has come of age, moving from a niche asset class to one big enough to rival the stock market.”
