Smaller landlords are increasingly moving away from property ownership following the introduction of the first phase of the Renters' Rights Act.
The legislation has made it more difficult for landlords to regain possession of or sell their properties, with further reforms expected later this year.
Anthony Harris, Independent Financial Adviser at Continuum said: "The Renters' Rights Act seems to be just the latest assault on landlords, and I am seeing a general move away from property ownership, particularly for small landlords."
Featured in both IFA Magazine and MoneyAge, Anthony said he has seen more landlords, particularly older and smaller investors, reconsidering property ownership as legislation continues to evolve. He also highlighted that, for some, investing the proceeds from a property sale could provide a comparable after-tax income without the ongoing responsibilities of being a landlord.
