As my tenants naturally leave, I would consider holiday lettings purely to keep the property ticking over while it was in the process of being sold. I suspect there are many more like me who will go through this process...

Not this old chestnut of bringing capital gains "into line" with income tax rates. By all means do this as long as you also include a £12570 nil band for every financial year the investment was held....

Reply to the comment left by Dare Ilori at 10/09/2026 - 19:55The options for landlords are sustainability or exit. A 3% rise in the base rate pushed up costs on mortgages (or returns on savings if mortgage free properties were...

These are not unintended consequences as far as the lobby for corporate housing are concerned. This is paving the way for low quality, high priced, internationally invested big business to step in and take the last UK national assets. Think...

Hopefully the penny will drop sooner than later. Mess around and get a free year but you will be named and shamed on a S8 rather than skulking off on an S21. No one in the PRS will house you...

The government are doing this on purpose, egged on by corporate landlords like Lloyds. The reality is that the margins are just too small for these businesses. They will cater to the young executives for whom they are building hundreds...

Substandard courts that take months to apply possession orders to extra red tape for the eventual bailiffs. "When someone is struggling with debt the last thing they need is... unfair treatment". What a shame these standards of stress reduction don't...

The UK had ultra low interest rates for 12 years making mortgages cheap and fueling house inflation. That has ended, mortgages are around 3% higher which adds £7k to an average mortgage. The home owners are quietly suffering, no pseudo...

Reply to the comment left by Keith Wellburn at 13/08/2026 - 10:31A shame that when they talk about 'alignment' between CGT and income tax they forget to align the £12570 per year that is a part of earned income..

“This is why landlords are earning supernormal returns...". I wish I was seeing this. All other things being equal, if my tenants leave I'll sell and move to more productive less risky avenues. The high capital gains and reasonable return...

What a bunch of Muppets Pennycock and co are. In a situation where the RRA triples the financial costs of a default and there are ten applicants per rental, only the best of the best tenants with the purest of...

We all know that the government doesn't feel that landlords should make any profit or have any rights. Shame on us for owning more than one house when other poor sods don't have even one.... Still waiting for this level...

Even if I used an agent I would want to register myself. We all know where the buck stops if agents mess up...

I'm sure that home owner's would love an interest cap on mortgages but this is the adult world, not the world of living with Mummy and Daddy..

We all know that the return on a older family home based on value is not enough for corporations. This means they will concentrate on the top end 'executive' flats and houses with better margins. The government is too dim...

How about this for an idea. If rents become unaffordable due to interest rates and government interference, homes will be empty and landlords can decide to either sell up or rent at a lower rate than other investments. We are...

"Decisions related to direct payments of rent must be based upon the claimant’s best interests". Well that just sums up the government attitude. Perhaps decisions regarding prompt payment of rent should be made in the landlords best interest. It won't...

Well isn't that big of them. Having more than doubled our risk through the new governments 'level playing field' of: Initial 12 month fixed term (for tenants), two months for us. Tribunals which can't backdate price rise claims leading to...

Typical Labour government. They can't even wait a few months for cash they're desperate to spend immediately like a teenager on Red Bull...

Since the government is so confident that the court system is working well perhaps they should underwrite any landlord losses caused by court delays... Perhaps a £7000 fine also if any mistakes are made in processing the claim? We all...
