The index also highlighted some positivity in the future of property investment with 81% of landlords optimistic that 2021 will be a positive year for property investment as the economy recovers, and the sectors begin to return to the new normal. The majority of UK landlords still see property as a buoyant sector and a safe place to invest in the long-term.
