Private landlords are looking to diversify their property portfolios to alleviate the effect of new regulations and tax reforms, according to One Savings Bank.
The bank, a specialist lender with a focus on landlords, has revealed that 51% of brokers have been contacted in the past six months.
Fourteen% were asked about buying commercial property, which will not be affected by reforms to mortgage tax relief.
Most enquiries, 56%, were about buying homes that can be let to three or more tenants, to gain more revenue than having one tenancy agreement.
