The PRS will be slowly gumming up as tenants will be unable to move on through lack of available rental properties to move onto and ever increasing demand. This will impact the wider economy by restricting the movement of Labour.

More Government gaslighting. MTD is just more bureaucracy to deter small businesses, add costs, and spy on you. It won't belong before they'll require every invoice to be submitted and not just totals.

They engaged and then ignored as they do for most consultations (except where it supports the Government's position).

Reply to the comment left by Valerie Hollylee at 18/07/2026 - 09:40My accountant said I only have to submit property related financials for quarterly MTD submissions. This has just been done for my first quarters MTD. No comeback from HMRC...

This will not raise any more revenue, just change when HMRC receives it. So it improves the Governments cashflow marginally (in the grand scheme of all other tax receipts), but hits small landlords hard with the double whammy of poorer...

Just because a sale falls through (having made the decsion to sell) is not a reason to immediatlely want to re-let. If you've analysed the current market and decidied to sell then why change your mind (unless the market has...

A £7,000 fine is likely to be ruinous or at least be a severe body blow to many small Landlords as a result of a tenant complaint to the Council (yes some Councils may proactively inspect properties) . The ultimate...

The people who will really lose out will be those with a CT exemption eg students, people getting a Council Tax Reduction, and certain other groups. They see a rent rise but no corresponding CT reduction.

.... and even shorter write off periods for HMOs, which makes no sense. The reduction is supposedly for higher wear & tear, but in reality it's only the communal areas that suffer any higher w&t (and even that's arguable -...

Where will the data be sourced? Will Landlords input data, if not the data will be biased. And reports/analysis derived from the database will be biased (and I bet it won't be in fa our of Landlords).
