Average Landlord Rental Income Reaches £89,000

A new survey has found that average annual rental income for UK landlords has reached a record £89,000. The Landlord Trends research from Pegasus Insight reports this figure is £14,000 higher than the previous quarter and £16,000 more than a year ago.

According to the survey, landlord incomes dipped briefly in the final quarter of 2025 but rebounded sharply in the first quarter of 2026. The report states that average landlord incomes are now more than one fifth higher than they were 12 months ago.

These findings may be of interest to letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring trends in the UK rental market, as rising landlord incomes could impact rental pricing, property management, and demand for services.
