Why Are London Landlords Selling Their Properties?

In recent months, surveys and HMRC‐linked data have shown a growing trend: many landlords are deciding to sell up rather than hold onto their properties.

What This Means for You

  • If you’re a landlord, it’s more important than ever to review your portfolio: check your mortgages, anticipated costs, and whether your rents are keeping up.

  • Tightening your compliance (safety, energy efficiency, tenant licensing) can help reduce future risks.

  • For renters, these changes may lead to fewer places to rent and possibly rising rents in high-demand locations.
