Landlord Sell-Off Linked to Incoming Renters’ Rights Act
A recent survey has found that landlords sold properties ahead of the Renters’ Rights Act coming into effect, while rental demand continued to outstrip supply.
According to Property118, Propertymark’s Housing Insight report identified that concerns over the incoming regulation prompted many landlords to exit the market before the changes took effect. The industry body warned that this reduction in supply is putting additional pressure on the rental market.
For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these developments may impact the availability of rental properties and the balance between supply and demand. The ongoing reduction in rental stock could affect day-to-day operations and client relationships as the market adjusts to the new regulatory environment.
