Landlord Exits Most Concentrated in London and South, Data Shows

Landlord Today reports that landlord exits from the private rental sector remain most concentrated in London and the South of England, based on newly released data.

According to lettings agency Hamptons, higher property prices, lower yields, and higher mortgage costs have put the greatest pressure on investor returns in these regions. This trend is particularly relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks operating in high-cost areas, as it may impact rental stock and market activity.
