Landlords can now be “incredibly choosy” says leading analyst


A prominent business analyst says the great rental sell-off leaves remaining landlords in a powerful position.

Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at consultancy Hargreaves Lansdown, says that “for those trapped in the rental market, there’s no let-up in the relentless squeeze.”

She says latest figures from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors shows yet another month of growing demand and dearth of properties to rent, which is pushing rents higher.
