Professional Investors Remain Confident Despite Renters Rights Act

Professional property investors are largely undeterred by recent regulatory changes, including the Renters Rights Act. This is according to Handelsbanken’s fifth annual Property Investor Report, as reported by Landlord Today.

The report is based on a survey of 200 UK real estate investors, property management professionals, and landlords. The survey was conducted after the start of the Iran war. According to the findings, while some areas of the market are reassessing their exposure to buy-to-let, professional investors continue to see opportunities in the sector.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, the report suggests that professional landlords are likely to remain active in the market despite ongoing regulatory changes. This may influence demand for property management and inventory services.
