Investment mortgages prop up rented sector
Article Abstract:
Good yields on buy-to-let properties and the availability of investment mortgages is helping to increase the number of buyers of properties for rental in the UK. This in turn is helping to meet the rising demand for rented property, with many tenants thought to be waiting for purchase prices to peak before looking around for a property to buy rather than rent. A survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) also reveals that the rental market has benefited from a rise in standards, in part due to improved safety rules on fire and furniture.

The right people, right now
Article Abstract:
The use of interim executives is a cost-effective solution to the problem brought about by the shortage of skilled senior executives. These interim managers are typically self-employed individuals with board-level experience who temporarily fill up senior positions during periods of organizational change. Some 30% of large British companies have applied this interim management concept to their operations, with over 80% of these companies professing high levels of satisfaction with the results obtained.
