MORE than a third of landlords think that Britain’s withdrawal from the EU will harm their ability to attract tenants, according to a survey by the National Landlords Association (NLA).

The impact was expected to be strongest in central London, where 55 per cent of landlords predicted a negative impact, while the lowest level of concern was registered in the North East, with 22 per cent, and Yorkshire and Humberside, with 24 per cent.

In Yorkshire 12 per cent of landlords thought Brexit would have a positive effect.
