The survey questioned over 200 leading estate agents across the UK and revealed the following results:
Should the Buy-to-Let market be regulated by the FSA?
- Yes: 51%
- No: 49%
Robin King, movewithus director, commented:
“If the advice given to Buy-to-Let investors had been regulated by a body, such as the FSA, we might have seen better investment advice and far fewer casualties when things went wrong in this sector.
"Buy-to-Let is still a vulnerable market because of the type of properties being bought and so it is interesting to see that a significant proportion of estate agents themselves would like to see the sector regulated.”
