Professional Landlords Remain Focused on Portfolio Growth
A significant majority of professional landlords with larger portfolios are planning to increase their property holdings over the next year, according to new research reported by Property118.
Handelsbanken’s fifth annual Property Investor Report found that 84% of professional property investors intend to expand their portfolios in the coming year. This figure represents a notable rise from 54% in the previous year’s survey.
The research highlights that this intention to grow comes despite ongoing challenges in the sector, including the impact of the Renters’ Rights Act, increased costs, and economic uncertainty.
For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these findings suggest continued activity in the professional landlord segment, with potential implications for property management, tenant onboarding, and inventory services as portfolios expand.
