A growing number of London landlords are choosing to sell up rather than keep letting.
Bloomberg reports that smaller landlords in particular are exiting the market, as new tenant rights legislation lands on top of a decade of rising taxes, higher mortgage costs and tightening regulation.

It’s a trend worth watching, but selling isn’t the only option. At Adams Property Group, we work with landlords across London and the South to manage that changing landscape properly — staying compliant, keeping on top of the new rules, and making sure the numbers still work, rather than reacting to headlines.
