Market specialists predict that the coming year will see a larger number of landlords putting their property up for sale on the market in the United Kingdom.

• Next year a huge number of homes could be on the market for first time buyers.
• About 380,000 landlords are looking to let go of their property.
• About 45 per cent of landlords intend to sell individual flats and apartments in the coming year
