Landlords Will Look to Re-Structure Their Property Portfolios

Landlords can see uncertain times ahead, with this uncertainty, the chances are that landlords will look to re-structure their property investments.

As with the current re-structuring in the banking system, with various mergers and purchases, banks are eating themselves and becoming bigger and fewer.

This similar scenario could be acted out within the world of landlords. If on a very much smaller scale.

Buy-to-let is only 10 years old, it's a baby in relation to most established industries, and as with most industries still in their infancy it hasn't fully established its structure.

At the moment the private rental sector is made up of a mix of large investment landlords with hundreds of properties such as Wilsons of Kent, right down to Mr and Mrs one flat of Tunbridge Wells.

The Wilsons are talking of selling a large portion of their portfolio due to a lack of capital growth expectations as well as wanting to take life a little easier. They are looking to sell to a large property investment company.

Now is this the future of Buy-to-Let, will more individual landlords look to leave the property market as the fashion for property investment diminishes. Will more landlords be bought out by the 'big boys'?

My guess is probably.

My advice for individual landlords is don't lose heart in your property investment, look to the long term. That's what the 'big boys ' will be doing.
