Anyone with lingering doubts of the returns that UK residential property can generate should take a look at two low-key listed landlords, Daejan Holdings and Mountview Estates.

Daejan and Mountview distinguish themselves from other listed UK residential property specialists, such as housebuilders, that develop space for sale. They take a longer-term view, adding to their portfolios with care. They get their hands dirty by managing the buildings and the expectations of tenants that occupy them, and selling properties at a profit when they fall vacant.
