Most landlords want to grow their portfolios despite market uncertainty, according to research from Lendlord.
The finance platform’s ‘2025 Lendlord Landlord Sentiment Survey’ found that 70% of landlords plan to grow their portfolios through acquisitions, refinancing, or refurbishments.
At the same time, 52% would rate their market optimism as a four or five out of five.
However, 67% are concerned about the Renters Rights Bill, with 42% admitting they’ve become more cautious in their strategy.
Bullishness around the need for rental supply is a driver for this, with 60% of landlords expecting house prices to rise in the next 12 months.
“The sentiment is cautious, yes, but it’s also clear-eyed and pragmatic,” commented Aviram Shahar, co-founder and CEO of Lendlord (pictured above).
“Landlords are still finding ways to invest, recycle capital, and manage their portfolios efficiently.
“What they need is support in making confident decisions, whether that’s running the numbers on a refurbishment or understanding how regulation might affect them.”
