The number of landlords has fallen over the last two
years despite a rise in supply of homes available to rent, meaning the typical
buy to let investor now has a larger portfolio than ever before. Countrywide estimates that the number of
landlords peaked at 3.72m in 2015 when there were some 171,000 fewer rented
homes than today. In 2017 there are just
over 154,000 fewer landlords (3.56m in total) but the number of rented homes
has increased from 4.9m in 2015 to 5.1m today.
Fewer landlords and more rental properties means the size of the average
landlord’s portfolio is the biggest since Countrywide first recorded such
information in 2005. Read more on
