Countrywide has calculated that with many landlords exiting the buy to let market, the number of homes available to rent has dropped, particularly in London and the South.
There were 7.8 per cent fewer properties available to rent in the first 11 months of 2019 compared with the same period last year.
In the South of England however, where more landlords have sold up, there were 11.7 per cent fewer homes available to rent. Countrywide - in an analysis revealed through its up-market brand Hamptons International - says there are signs that investors are starting to return to the market, particularly in London.

And it will Continue, causing rents to rise.
Can the Govt not see that its ' Pandering ' to so-called Tenant support groups is actually harming TENANTS. !
Reap what you sow.
Shocking 12% drop in homes to let. Don't think it is a 'shock' as it was and is entirely predictable.
What a surprise said nobody in the industry. It may have surprised Polly Neate though!
