46% of landlords remain positive about the future prospects of their buy-to-let business and investments, according to the latest Landbay survey.
Of those who were positive the strongest sentiment was found among landlords with 11-20 properties, with 41% feeling optimistic. Meanwhile, 26% of landlords with a portfolio between 4-10 properties shared the same feeling.
When giving their reasoning, respondents highlighted high occupancy rates with continued demand and strong rental yields. Others argued that sound management and good service will continue to separate landlords, with new regulation and tax changes impacting new entrants more than the established landlords.
