all signs point to landlords staying putAre landlords heading for pastures new in their droves or aren't they? That's the latest question occupying portions of the media this week, though the answer seems fairly straightforward right from the off.

Landlord.co.uk has said that as many as 14,000 landlords registered on its site are looking for an immediate property sale with a view to cashing in on their investments and moving abroad.

But, partially in response to this claim, the Landlord Association has said that it's seen no such pattern among its members.

"Our research shows that more landlords are adding to their portfolios rather than selling as misplaced hype seems to suggest," commented Dean Woodman-Evans, membership director at the association.

And with other surveys from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Association of Lettings Agents also pointing to a confident market, it seems that landlords are staying in the UK and reaping the rewards.
