A nationwide survey by Handelsbanken has found that SME landlords (owning at least four properties) are optimistic about both residential and commercial demand in the year ahead.
The first Handelsbanken SME Landlord Survey found 86% of landlords expect a rise in demand for residential property, with nearly two-thirds (63%) confident that commercial property demand will also increase in the next 12 months. The nationwide study found 49% of landlords intended to purchase additional property, while just 7% intended to sell some or part of their portfolios.
The research was commissioned by Handelsbanken and conducted by PureProfile in June 2022 among 120 UK professional landlords with a minimum of four properties in their portfolio.
