In 2023, HMRC commissioned research with landlords to better understand their experience of owning property. A representative sample of 1,243 landlords were surveyed, and 20 follow-up qualitative in-depth interviews were carried out.

The research explored:

  • investment behaviour among landlords
  • use of agents and accounting systems
  • the geographical distribution of landlords’ properties
  • the perceived barriers to filing correct tax returns among landlords
