Here’s why it still makes sense to be a landlord

20 December 2019 Latest News

There have been many legal and tax changes for landlords to take on board in recent years, but research by a lettings industry magazine shows why it still makes sense – and money – to let out property. Over the last decade demand by tenants has soared:

  • 55% of 24-35 year olds owned homes in 2010 but now it’s just 38%;
  • 16% of English households privately rented in 2010 and it’s now 20%;
  • rents outside London have risen an average 27% in 10 years.

Increasing regulations have made it tougher than before to be a landlord, but it still makes financial sense – and you can give a household a home to live in. Here at East of Exe and West of Exe we’re always happy to explain how you can become a landlord too. Contact us today!
