Limited Companies Hold 45% of UK Buy-to-Let Properties

Limited company ownership now accounts for 45.1% of buy-to-let properties in the UK, according to PropertyWire. The structure is particularly prevalent among landlords with larger portfolios.

Analysis reported by PropertyWire shows that for landlords with 20 or more properties, 57.6% now operate through limited company structures. This trend highlights the growing use of limited companies in the buy-to-let sector.

Letting agents and inventory clerks may wish to note the increasing dominance of limited company structures, especially among landlords managing larger numbers of properties.
