Renters\u2019 Rights Act<\/a> has become a clear point at which to reassess their investment.<\/p>\n\u201cThis has been compounded by fixed\u2011rate mortgages coming to an end and wider regulatory pressures, including higher minimum energy efficiency standards. Together, these factors are driving a more fundamental review of whether rental property still stacks up, particularly for smaller, mortgaged landlords.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a notable increase in Section 21 notices being served, often as a way for landlords to test achievable rents in the open market. However, we would also expect this to translate into more sales over the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n
Savills research also examined whether buy\u2011to\u2011let properties listed for sale ultimately changed tenure.<\/p>\n
The firm found that 14% of these homes were purchased by other landlords, effectively returning to the private rented sector.<\/p>\n
Savills research analyst Nicholas Gibson said: \u201cLooking ahead, refinancing and tenants choosing to move on are likely to become the main sale triggers.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut with a significant number of homes returning to the rental market under new ownership, it is not just about shrinking supply, but a broader restructuring of the market towards a smaller more committed pool of professional landlords.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Savills estimates that 254,000 previously let buy\u2011to\u2011let homes were listed for sale in Great Britain in the past…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[748,72049,393,4884,1144,262446,26050,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-939270","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-buy-to-let","12":"tag-england","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-northern-ireland","15":"tag-rented-properties","16":"tag-savills","17":"tag-scotland","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116521906235419507","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
