Company Ownership Now Accounts for 45% of Buy-to-Let Properties

Nearly half of buy-to-let properties are now owned through companies, according to new figures from property management and finance platform Lendlord. The latest data shows that company ownership stands at 45.1%, while 54.9% of buy-to-let properties remain held privately.

The data also highlights a shift in ownership patterns as landlords' portfolios grow. Among landlords with 20 or more properties, 57.6% of ownership is held through companies.

These findings may be relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as the structure of property ownership can affect management processes and compliance requirements.
