Agency Chief: Amateur Small-Scale Landlords Declining

An agency chief has stated that amateur small-scale landlords are on the way out. According to the report, new investors entering the market are younger, business-focused, and aiming to build portfolios.

This shift in landlord demographics may impact the UK lettings sector, with potential changes in how properties are managed and portfolios are structured. Letting agents and inventory clerks may see a move towards more professionalised property management as a result.
