London is seeing a significant increase in buy-to-let properties coming up for sale, reducing the availability of rental homes. The proportion of these properties listed for sale has reached a 10-year high, driven by factors like lower rental yields, higher mortgage costs, and upcoming regulations, such as stricter emissions standards. The Labour government’s planned rental reforms, including stronger tenant protections and the end of no-fault evictions, are also influencing landlords to exit the market. This trend is contributing to fewer rental properties and continued pressure on rents.
