Optimistic landlords<\/p><\/div>
\nYes, it seems landlords think so.<\/p>\n

A wave of optimism is sweeping across the lettings industry with landlord optimism at its highest for four years, according to the latest figures.<\/p>\n

In a recent survey, 65 per cent of landlords surveyed described their own lettings business\u2019 prospects as \u2019good\u2019 or \u2018very good\u2019.<\/p>\n

Landlords are still experiencing high levels of tenant demand which is predicted to rise further. It is encouraging to see yields remaining at a healthy level and general confidence across the sector.<\/p>\n

This was the first time in two years that landlords predicted an increase in the number of properties in their portfolios.<\/p>\n
