They also provide protection against rising interest rates as your rental income is far in excess of any mortgage payments which isn’t guaranteed on single lets. Demand is growing as young professionals look for ‘community living’ in cities or towns and multi-let properties will continue to increase as they are assets that have very few void periods with tenants who favour flexible housing.
