Rent freeze (more likely) or rent control is coming if socialist Miliband becomes chancellor. We know he does not think about unintended consequences (EPC C by 2030) just what makes him look good. Yes LLs are selling slowly so this...
This is red meat to the anti LL groups and green light for new chancellor to tax LLs more. What the article does not make clear if this net income after tax and section 24. As in reality year on...
They (Burnham!) may just load it up onto property income tax as they have carved out Property for many differing taxes like CGT so they will find a way whether we like it or not
Reply to the comment left by Northampton Landlord at 06/06/2026 - 03:44Burnham will push for election before 2029 to help secure his next coalition government with greens and Liberals so we are stuck with this lot
ONLY imputable pages 2,3,4,5 given to tenant. I am one of the 'few' LLs who has issued the RRA info sheet to my tenants and it already has this info (Page 2) . So why should I keep repeating this......
Can I just print out pages 2-5 of from 4a and give that to the tenants with at least two months notice beforehand then? As it is not my job to inform them that rent can be challenged at FTT!
I have resent my information sheet to my tenants as I am sure the council inspection I get next week will ask for proof so all properties under Licencing are at risk of £7K fine during inspection. Easy fine money...
When the PRS database gets rolled out later this year I'm sure Labour will use it as a tool to name and shame LLs with any fines small or large. Terrible environment for LLs. I have property inspection from the...
Unfortunately the NRLA have pushed for no balance in RRA. We are all deemed to be rogue unless we can prove we are responsible. RRA is very complex for reasonable LLs so 95% will get caught out at some point....
Reply to the comment left by Steven Makepeace at 08:02 Thankfully there will be election by 2029 anyway. And if it is the same clueless lot now it may be better cough up the £10K towards EPC-C and then get...
Sadly councils are abusing SELECTIVE licencing as they were originally only for up to 20% of the selected parts of a borough and short term 5 years when Prescott set them up i,e problem areas only. Labour itself regulates so...
I participated in this research so well done on articulating the results so well vs other National Landlord Associations. Let's hope we get some media coverage Mark
Didn't the Rep. of Ireland do away with their version of section 24 around 2009? There must be case study analysis of LL behaviour then. I believe they have now reversed section 24 i.e 10 years later where you get...
Rental supply unlikely to fall now as the WAR has stopped people selling and buying due to trend towards higher interest rates so the government will have a sigh of relief that the RRA will not reduce supply. I am...
If Burham gets the reins of PM then LLs are in for serious pain. Unfortunately the NRLA won't save us as they are already coseying up to his LL charter in Manchester.

The whole scheme is a duffer. I have Victorian properties so no chance of getting C without harming the the fabric of the building. Internal insulation on walls will not allow the property to 'breath' and cause damp and mould...
I would be more worried if you are in a selective licence area. As the council clipboarder inspectors will be inspect properties looking for penalty raising income and now the fines are crippling for any landlord so that is my...
