Landlords set to benefit from long-term property investment




Landlords could see an estimated net profit of over £265,500 per property over the next 25 years via rental income and capital gains, research has shown.

According to analysis by Kent Reliance – part of OneSavings Bank – a basic tax-paying landlord, with a 30% deposit of £73,908 on a property, would generate a total profit of £265,500 after costs and taxes.

Taking into consideration the impact of inflation over the period, this represents a profit of £162,000 in today’s money.

John Eastgate, sales and marketing director at OneSavings Bank, said: “The buy-to-let market is undergoing a sea change.

“Regulatory and taxation changes have altered the market dynamic, reducing its attractiveness to amateur landlords, and increasing the tax bills of higher-rate investors.

“In spite of rising costs, there are still healthy returns to be found in property for committed investors.”
