    IMO, It’s always advisable to get a property expert that will assist you in selling residential buy to lets and invest it in the right sort of commercial property instead. In other words imploring aid from a well experienced RA is likely going to save you time, manage the risk and also help you lock in consistent lucrative outcomes. It’s indeed a smart money move anyone can make!

    I have briefly been an accidental landlord when I got married but it was an immediate disaster. That house got sold as the tenant was persuaded to leave quite quickly. Now I am in a position where I could buy a house and rent it out but I cannot think of a bigger mugs game. I am staying put and slowly spending the money on holidays and hobbies. The major problem is there are only so many good tenants, many have no intention of ever paying rent and enjoy damaging properties. They can find a park bench as far as I am concerned.

    I had a tenant in my rental property for 7 Years. Needed to sell it due to all the financial reasons mentioned. I did not put their rent up in 7 years as they had Money problems and a small child. I always repaired the property. They were always late paying their rent, but I never charged them extra. I forgot to place the deposit in a scheme and once the tenant found out took me for £7,500, I also had to pay his deposit back. He told me he had left via a text message and left thousands of pounds worth of damage, and did not pay their last Months rent, I approached a solicitor who told me it would cost me more in Legal fees than I would get back, and the tenant would plead poverty. I tried to get compensation via the courts, but the justice system is broken and everything stacked against Landlords, it is very hard to deal with a lying tenant.

    Ultimately the system has turned against landlords, and that’s because making passive income (which is actually someone else’s active income) is essentially parasitic. Put your money into stocks and bonds: investments which actually benefit from your money, rather than taking properties away from young families for your own profit.

    You do not "remember right". Legislation changed to bring in AST. This gave a power to evict which then allowed ordinary people to borrow for a BTL house. Before this there was a huge shortage of rental housing. This then came along with a period of affordable and easy borrowing in the early 2000s. These two factors brought lots more into the BTL market. BTL landlords do not push up prices. Never have and never will. There may be some local areas (say around universities) where the housing stock is very attractive for renting but not for buying, but mostly landlords are never a dominant player in the housing market. Indeed landlords cannot afford expensive houses - they do not pay. The opposite is true, in the years after the 2008 crash the property market was kept alive by some sales to landlords buying up cheap housing. This greatly helped the market. Landlords do not stop anyone buying a house. They fulfill a need. Or should all students be made to buy their digs? My tenants consider their houses to be their homes. They choose to not worry about the boiler breaking or the roof leaking and pay me to do that. Some people buy a new car, some lease a new car. It is a choice. Just saying.

Chatting to my colleagues in Dublin, no matter how high the rent escalates there will be a tennant. A lot of my colleagues are paying €950 for a room. I also know a landlord who is charging €1100 per room (en suite) he has four rooms let in a ok area, on the outskirts of Dublin . My colleagues are spending nearly half their monlthy salery on rent therefore unable to save for a deposit. I hope this is not the future for the UK, it's so unfair.

    Question:- My EPC states Energy Efficiency Rating Band C, Environmental Impact Rating Band D. So it's a Band C property, I assume? I'm an accidental landlord, letting the property I used to live in. I've never had a problem with bad tenants or void periods, but as I'm in my late 70s I have decided to sell when I can. I don't want the expense of having to replace the gas boiler (especially not with a heat pump!) and not being able to serve a Section 21 Notice when the tenancy falls due for renewal is just too much uncertainty for me. Maybe I'll look again at the small print about selling with tenant in situ.

    The problem for the rental landlord is the rules and regulations that they glibbly put in place that cost time and money to comply with. Two spring to mind that is the rule that a certificate has to be produced certifing that the smoke and CM sensors have been tested on the very day the tenants first move in. Also, that a manual has to be provided for every electrical item and these are normally missing on each of one or two year cycle of tenancies. All time and money. Most tenants applying for the lower rental properties are on benefits and these are usually bad news because they have little respect for the property meaning every three years complete redecoration, deep cleaning/replacing of carpets, broken toilet seats, chipped baths etc, replacing smashed entry phones.etc etc. They think they are living in council property. An end of a tenancy is the start of a nightmare! So for me a prospective tenant on benefits is a no-no. I would rather leave the property empty!

    (from California USA) Ian, your comments are so spot on. We face similar challenges here, but we landlords slog thru until--like you, we just 'sell up' (a new term to me, here we say 'sell out'). In the States, it's leading to fewer and fewer small landlords because the burden of cost can't be supported by 'mom & pop' landlords. What replaces them is large commercial firms who wield their power forcefully. This 'only corporate land lording' phenomenon is just now being considered as a driver of the boom in our homeless population. Seems in neither country have the law makers awakened to the reality that THEY are legislating rental housing out of existence. A dear friend of mine started buying single family homes here in CA in his early 20's. By the time he was 40 he owned over 100 beautiful small homes in California's central valley. Today he is 55 and has sold every one of them. it just did not pay to be in the landlord sector any longer.

    Thanks Phil for helping to bring awareness to this incoming rental crisis. We’ve started the process of selling our property portfolio, which will take around 7-8 years for tax reasons. We’ve had enough, but the main reasons are the section 24 (tax), full council tax on empty properties, over regulation/legislation, end of section 21, EPC uncertainty and the final straw being the council licensing scheme. Last one out is a mug….

    Same here but I'm probably playing into their hands tax wise by selling up all at once because I just can't be bothered anymore. As well as what you've said above, rent controls being discussed in Wales and Scotland as well as longer notice periods for a landlord in Wales and in Scotland they're talking about preventing landlords from evicting tenants even if they have rent arrears. These things could make property prices drop and the investment unsafe. I'm already out of Scotland and am selling up in England now.

    Another looming problem with EPCs is this. Suppose a landlord spends the £10K but cannot get to a C rating. He applies to the Council for an exemption. However, the over-worked Council take ages to deal with the application. D-day passes and the landlord continues to let and/or grants a new tenancy in expectation of getting the exemption. Now suppose the Council won't grant the exemption. Landlord is now in breach and liable for a fine of up to £30,000. If s21 has been abolished what is the landlord to do? He cannot evict the tenant. Will he be subject to multiple fines, perhaps increasing? No wonder landlords are selling up. Even more will do so when this scenario becomes a reality.

    I wonder what will happen with 1977 Rent Act tenants who have the absolute right to security of tenure for the rest of their lives? Yet this net zero policy encompasses these types of tenancies too, potentially undermining the purpose of the Act for the tenant who might be dwelling in an old Victorian house that can't be made up to a C band EPC rating. Certainly the landlord won't invest this money, not when they are only getting a low Rent Controlled fair rent. It is worrying times all round. I suspect that the Council will have to purchase the property with 1977 Rent Act tenants and maybe sell it to the tenant at a knock down price or pay them a lot of money to leave the property. That is what I am hoping for, anyway. That means I will own my flat outright. I am seeking legal advice as to the likelihood of being able to stay in the property. I might even negotiate with my landlord a much lower rent than he can currently charge just to agree to refuse access to builders to carry out these works at huge cost to the landlord making exemption a greater likelihood. But there has to be something in it for me, not just for the landlord.

    Thank you Phil and Vanessa for highlighting this very serious situation. I've worked in the BTL sector since 2005, assisting investors with their portfolios. The changes due to Section 24, the bad press from the Govt & media towards private sector landlords, lack of regulation of property trainers, the leasehold issues (ground rents and the EWS1/remedial works fiasco) and the unknowns for unworkable proposed EPC changes, are all negatively impacting investors in this sector. I don't believe this country's rental housing sector can function without these private landlords, many of whom are doing their utmost to comply with the many rules & regulations. The Govt's lack of understanding of how the BTL sector works beggars belief, and it needs to change, with more joined up thinking. One other point - I'm aware of a lot of private landlords who switched their long term rental properties to holidays lets during lockdowns. Many of these will, in time, revert to ASTs, once the demand for staycations reduces, but in the meantime, it's reduced the number of long term rental properties available to renters.

    I'm not surprised to see a video with this title based on my experience! We've rented out our first home (1 bed flat) for the last 11 years and in recent years it's been valued at zero due to subsidence in the block. I would give up being a landlord in a blink of an eye if I could! I've only today worked out my back dated HMRC costs since section 24 kicked in and I now somehow need to find 2.5k to send to the HMRC for a 1 bed flat! I clear less than £100 a month before tax is deducted so from where I'm standing being a 'landlord' equates to both stress and time only to barely break even or make a loss. P.s. we've not put the rent up in 2-3 years but I'm going to need to counteract these extra costs so its going up next year.

    Let’s look at this: House prices are going up. However, relative to inflation house prices are rising at extremely slow rates. Interest are going up. However, relative to inflation interest rates are now at historically low levels. I’ve just re-mortgaged a property at 2.9% fixed for 5 years; that’s minus 3% in real terms, as for the onerous regulations. If you look after your properties properly and have quality properties regulations with regards to EPCs, gas and electricity regulations then there isn’t any thing to worry about. I think the comment about George Osbourne summed up Vanessa’s grip on the facts; George O retired as CofE 6 years ago. Well managed, reasonably leveraged quality houses with sound due diligence carried out on tenants will invariably provide a sound long-term income capital growth and income investment. If a 10% ‘adjustment’ over the short term will hurt you, then you’re not doing the Maths.

    @@dolphine675 You have absolutely no clue. The conservative government in the 1988 housing act created the assured short hold tenancy. This gave banks a way of lending to individuals to buy and let property. By this and other means they encouraged individuals to invest in property as way of ensuring future prosperity and an income during retirement. Most landlords are hard working people and are not wealthy. They are merely trying to provide for their future. Now the government has decided that all this wealth tied up in property is needed to stimulate the economy so hey presto, let's make buy to let unprofitable and move this money into stocks. Oh and as an added silver lining give all our corporate mates chance to take over. Best of luck if your a tenant of a Saudi wealth fund or social housing. At the moment the worst rated properties are local authority run. Guess why, not rocket science.

    Yes - i mean i’ve been quoted over a years income (over 10K) to take a property from a high D to a low C. The estimated saving to the tenant is £140 a year. These will have to be extensive things such as a heat pump and internal or external cladding Since I have already have done all of the other low-cost, effective things such as basic insulation, double glazing room thermostats, LED lights et cetera et cetera. The payback period on these proposed ‘improvements’ is essentially never. I am expected to pay out thousands so someone else can save hundreds - I have calculated that it would take over 92 years for someone else (remember the landlord gets no benefit) to recoup the amount I would have to spend at that level of energy saving and the estimated lifespan of the product that is supposed to deliver that saving is only 25 years AT BEST. It’s daft!

Also to be challenged will be the recommended improvements. It is rather like fining someone for speeding when the device used to measure the speed is not calibrated or reliable.

    The whole U.K. property market and the politics behind is just insane. For a start a property market in balance there should be at average 7-8% empty properties, in the U.K. there are hardly any empty properties in the U.K. as most people that see an empty house get angry and says “it should not be empty as it’s a caste of resources”. The result is that prices go up as there is a constant pressure on the few properties that actually are empty. There is many many more problems too. The precious “green belt” politics is another reason, if you look at any map of almost any area in the U.K. there is loads of land that can be built on. But local councils are constantly stopping any attempt to build on the land that is free. And no, it’s not farming land, most of this land is used for absolutely nothing. And the problems goes on an on, low IQ is a huge problem in the U.K.

    In my opinion, too many people bought buy to let’s and this has definitely raised prices. Without this, the price of a typical first time buyer home would be set by its affordability to the first time buyer. This has caused misery for many potential buyers who have then been forced to rent instead. I do think that many landlords will now get their fingers burned because of falling prices and reducing returns.

    I am a first time buyer and a cash buyer unusually - who has been trying to buy a very modest two bedroom house in the cheapest areas of the north west. For the past year I have constantly been competing with landlords/developers who are given first refusal by state agents or can afford to buy reno properties at a higher price as they have good deals with regular builders etc. This is even in the boom with property price at a premium, but also with good odds of reselling at a profit. I see no sign of any apparent measures improving my chances at buying a property and I really am not being choosy, you have no idea. Yes stock is limited right now but for the houses I am looking at, the cheapest on the market, it is landlords and developers who are preventing me every time from being able to buy. One house I put an offer in, the developer who was renovating next door put in a higher offer than me - the estate agent didnt even put forward my offer when it was the highest and lied about it to me. The estate agents get backhanders for giving their regulars first refusal etc. So have the measures to help really gone to far? Of course not, not in terms of having a significant impact on FTB, but landlords were never going to be genuinely interested in people who rent getting away from the bind of paying their mortgages and having a property of their own themselves instead, were they? More measure needed to ensure first time buyers can buy imo including changes in how estate agents operate. The wider issue of capitalism is the overriding issue of course. We are all trying to have something for ourserselves n a grossly unequal system designed so that having something for yourself means someone else must suffer. Of course many want far too much for themselves though it never makes them close to happy. Building wealth is an addiction.

    It’s both structural and cyclical - there is a rotation as many landlords rotate out after having a number of good years, others will come in but in smaller numbers, however the cost and incentive to be a landlord is so low now that it’s not worth the effort for the returns. Plus we will have a housing crash in the coming year - so many are selling up before they have a portfolio drop of 25%, at the same time increased costs of refurbishing properties with the new standards required by the government. The world around us is in economic turmoil and we are in a recession, with potential stagflation and a depression. Deflation will come in but late. It’s a messy economic situation and landlords will be bruised and this will lead to low stock for 2023, 2024 and 2025. 2026 and 27 may pick up again.

I don't recall exactly but a very large number of rents homes on the UK somewhere around 500k privately rented homes are rented for zero mostly grown adults buying a home for their elderly parents and not charging them rent

    Of course tenants dont want to stay long term, its too expensive using private accomodation. Much cheaper to get a council property instead. But change is coming and rightly so, giving private tenants the same rights as Housing associaton and council house tenants. The new system has been running in Scotland for a while now and is being rolled out to the rest of the UK. It is a long time coming, the private sector was unregulated and unfair to tenants. In many ways the private sector brought it on themselves, using Section 21 to kick out families on a whim.

    In the area i am in then there are Friday clubs that have a number of members paying in cash to take turns at purchasing houses for rental as the funds of the Friday club reach a specific amount.Some believe its more about money laundering .

    Landlords are still buying property, I have friends who are constantly buying. Fewer landlords = more demand in the market. Also, FTB's have a huge advantage over BTL investors in the market. Who would you rather sell to -Someone who is emotionally attached to your house, or someone who just see's it as an investment? There are way more FTB's than BTL properties year on year so the whole "landlords are taking away houses from FTB's" is now an invalid argument.

    Hi Diane, Firstly, the basic premise is "make your funds work very hard for you, so you don't have to work so hard". Secondly, invest in areas you are comfortable to invest your funds, whatever avenue/sector that is. If you can diversify into two or more sectors, all the better. Thirdly, if you are not up to speed in regard to self-investing in whichever sector you chose, find people you (absolutely) trust !!! to invest for you. Then, decide how much you want to invest, because ALL investments carry varying levels of risk... If you are interested in property investment feel free to chat some more.
