Despite their concerns for the future, most landlords remain steadfast in their commitment to letting their property. Almost a third (31 per cent) have had their properties rented by the same tenants for more than five years. And in the past 12 months, only 13 per cent of landlords have sold a rental property and almost two thirds (64 per cent) don\u2019t plan on selling  in the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insuring more than 300,000 landlords allows us to gain first-hand insight into the integral role they play in the housing market. With the biggest changes to tenancy law in a generation almost here, alongside several other regulation changes, landlords are asking for clarity. It\u2019s vital they\u2019re given the time and guidance needed to continue to provide much-needed housing for almost five million households nationwide.
