New research has revealed 42% of Scottish landlords are intending to vote 'Remain' in the upcoming European Union (EU) Referendum on 23 June.
While 30% of Scottish landlords are leaning towards a 'Leave' vote, findings by the National Landlords Association (NLA) states one in three (30%) UK landlords are still undecided over whether they should stay in or leave the EU.
In London, more landlords intend to vote remain in the EU (45%) than anywhere else in the UK, while in the North East, the majority are leaning towards voting to leave (44%).
Landlords were also divided over whether EU membership would benefit their future business, with 53% believing it would be beneficial while 47% consider it to be harmful.
Richard Lambert, Chief Executive Officer at the NLA, said both landlords and the British public remain largely divided in how they will vote in the referendum.
"The Remain and Leave campaigns have both had difficulty persuading the public on the benefits or hazards of a Brexit vote, and they have struggled to provide any clear analysis about the impact exiting the EU would have on the buy-to-let market," he said.
"As a result, landlords appear more likely to vote in this referendum based on their attitudes to issues such as national security, trade, and immigration, rather than the effect on the UK property market or their businesses."
