House prices in the UK have risen, according to a new survey.

Buying residential property is a good move in the present market, the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (Arla) has said.

Buy-to-let investors are increasingly optimistic about the property market and are keener to invest over the coming months, a new survey has found.

The cost of residential property dropped by 10.3 per cent in the year to March, a new survey has said.

Many tenants are at risk of becoming homeless because of buy-to-let landlords suffering repossession, charities have warned.

Those investing in buy-to-let property are increasingly turning to fixed-rate mortgage deals to fund their acquisitions, new research has indicated.

A survey of the private rental sector in Scotland has found that most tenants are happy with their landlords.

Residential landlords are being duped into losing a collective £3 million a year by the charges letting agents are imposing on them, it has been stated.

Landlords should act like "prudent business people" when it comes to assessing their residential property portfolios, the National Landlords Association chairman David Salusbury has said.

House prices in the UK will carry on falling this year and into 2010, a poll has predicted.
