41% of landlords would like to see recent changes to capital gains tax allowances reversed, with the government’s meddling in the sector also the biggest concern, along with the increasing day-to-day cost of buy-to-let investment driven by the cost of living crisis.
A new survey of almost 2,000 UK landlords commissioned by property lending experts, Octane Capital, found that confidence in the sector remains robust, despite the government’s best efforts to reduce the financial returns available to the nation’s buy-to-let investors.
In fact, just 8% of those surveyed stated that they had reduced the size of their buy-to-let portfolio over the last year.
