best places in South-East England for buy-to-let?
3 Answers
where are supposedly the best places in London and the south-east for buy-to-let properties which will give good long-term appreciation in value? I wouldn't even mind renting the place to students, as I hear that can pull in good money.

I've seen a lot of recent activity in Reading (I'm told that several big companies are locating there) and most parts of London will see property prices rise over the long term. In the student market Cambridge will always be competetive for Uni places and with other University related fees rising, the rental market will attract people willing to pay higher rent.
Any town or city with an expanding commercial sector would be suitable. Reading is one of those and there are cheaper housing areas around Reading. Also, anywhere on decent commuter rail routes into London.
With interest rates going up on mortgages it can also have the opposite effect and make a larger market for rental properties for those that cant or dont want to get on the housing ladder.
