A new survey pours cold water on claims that landlords are abandoning the private rental sector en masse.

The recently published TDS Charitable Foundation survey* contradicts claims of a landlord exodus.

It found that in the past year, 63% of landlords operated business as usual.

Meanwhile, 23% of landlords expanded their portfolio (this was up from 19% the previous year).

Landlords invested further in the rental sector because they:

• Wanted to supplement their income.

• Prefer property to other types of investments.

• Found local market conditions favourable.

• Were keen to bolster their pension.

Landlords who expanded their portfolios purchased an average of 2.5 properties each.
