Landlords are buying again… but not in the way many people think. New data from Hamptons shows landlords now account for 13.3% of all property purchases ➡️ the highest level since 2016. But interestingly… This doesn’t look like a huge wave of brand-new investors entering the market. What’s actually happening is a lot of properties are changing hands between landlords. Smaller landlords are exiting due to higher mortgage rates, tax changes and the Renters’ Rights Act… while larger, more experienced investors are stepping in and buying those properties. And where is this happening most? 📍 The North West 📍 North East 📍 Yorkshire Areas where yields still tend to stack up better and cash flow remains stronger. Personally, I think this says a lot about the direction of the market right now. The investors who understand their numbers, structure finance well and focus on sustainable cash flow are still expanding.. even while others are selling. This feels less like a “buy-to-let boom” and more like a reshuffle of the investor market.
