Around 700 formerly rented homes hit the market every day as landlords exit, Savills says

Savills reports around 700 formerly let homes are listed for sale every day in Great Britain — 254,000 ex-rentals in the year to March 2026, up 28% on March 2024. The Renters' Rights Act, fixed-rate maturities and tighter EPC rules are pushing smaller landlords out; London now sees 30% of new sales instructions come from the rented sector. For buyers, that means more choice in landlord-heavy postcodes; for sellers, the extra supply chips at pricing power. Around 14% of listings are bought by other landlords, so the rental stock is restructuring, not collapsing.
