According to a new survey by Charcol, and despite all the media fuss about everybody being a landlord, the buy-to-let sector is still dominated by 95% professional property investors. The survey also reveals that just one per cent of buy-to-let housing stock is owned by a landlord who has just the one property; 97% of landlords intend to hold onto their portfolio even if prices fall (which might finally put paid to the landlords-sparking-a-property-crash theory which has been doing the rounds for a year or so); and 75% of landlords intend to increase their portfolio in the coming year. More on landlords taking the long-term view, here.
