Re the questions about why we might consider buying or selling: none of them really fit our situation. We're selling because, for us at least, being landlords is no longer worthwhile. We can invest the money for more (long term)...

The NRLA _does_ have a constitution, in the form of Articles of Association: https://www.nrla.org.uk/about-us/articles-of-association Its purpose is set out in article 2. The paragraph is quite long, but the first of the organisation's aims "is to pursue, promote and protect...

There are many. For example: The Assured Tenancies and Agricultural Occupancies (Forms) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/915/ The Assured Tenancies (Amendment)(England) Order 2010 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/908/ The Rent Officers (Additional Functions) (Amendment) Order 1994 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1994/568/ The Assured Shorthold Tenancy...

While the Conservatives are the largest party in the Lords, they are well short of a majority (currently 275 out of 784 seats). In any case, while the Lords normally take their time with non-emergency legislation, the Salisbury Convention suggests...

If you mean the Renters (Reform) Bill, then I imagine that Labour will produce something similar. But even with a large majority, it will take time. Even if the Commons rush it through, the Lords won't be in a hurry.

It will require an Act of Parliament, so it can't be done on day 1 - which, as you say, means that any change can't come into effect until next year. Changes like this normally come with transitional provisions to...

"The consequence of abolishing Section 24"..."George Osbourne and his removal of section 24": er...it was the _creation_ of section 24 that changed the tax rules on mortgage interest. Abolishing it is presumably what most landlords want! (Incidentally, a Google search...

Reply to the comment left by Dawn Fellingham at 03/11/2023 - 10:47It will require a change in the law, but if Labour win a majority in Parliament and become the next government, then they could put it in a future...

Any changes in the law won't come into force for some time - I would guess 2-3 years after this Bill becomes an Act for new tenancies, longer for existing ones - which gives plenty of time for insurers to...

As others have said, I think that most of the points listed have contributed to the current situation, without necessarily being the root cause. If there is a single root cause, I'd argue that it's the shortage of total properties,...
