According to a survey by Landbay, positivity among buy-to-let landlords has improved since last year's Autumn Budget. Currently, 36% of landlords feel positive about the future of their businesses, up from 18% last year.
The key reasons for this optimism are rental demand and strong rental yields.
“It is very encouraging to see landlord confidence rebounding. The data reflects what we are hearing on the ground with high rental demand and strong yields helping to underpin optimism across the sector.” - Rob Stanton, Sales and Distribution Director at Landbay
