The financial pressures on landlords are intensifying, with a significant portion of income being directed towards property upkeep. Landlord Today reveals that the average private landlord in the UK now spends £1,374.07 annually on rental property maintenance. This figure escalates dramatically in certain regions; landlords in Edinburgh, for instance, face the highest burden, averaging £2,952 per year. Furthermore, the cost of repairing damage has surged by 121% across the UK over the past two years, jumping from £473 in 2022 to £1,043 in 2024.
These statistics paint a clear picture: traditional property management can be a costly and unpredictable venture.
