Just 23% of brokers surveyed expect growth in buy-to-let landlord numbers this year, compared with 56% forecasting a decline.

Newly released figures have shown that 20% of landlords have at least one buy-to-let mortgage in a limited company.

70% of landlords plan to grow their portfolios through acquisition, refinancing, or refurbishment, according to the latest survey from Lendlord.

The average portfolio landlord holds 8.6 buy-to-let properties across 5.8 loans, borrowing £503,680.

The assets, valued at £4.54 million, include a mix of retail and residential units.

Despite complex market conditions, a new report from Handelsbanken has revealed a sector focused on adaptation, diversification, and resilience.

11 completed apartments form part of the refinanced portfolio.

The facility includes a five-year term amortised over 20 years and was drawn down within three weeks.

66% of landlord-owned properties are now held in limited companies, up from 36% in 2020.
