I have no sympathy for landlords with large portfolios that are now struggling because they over-leveraged, including "Sophie Siangolis, buy-to-let borrower" She followed the shortcut blueprint often shilled by "gurus" - basically, everything I despise.

Sent out a newsletter yesterday evening, after HMRC confirmed it's view on setting up a "hybrid business model" to avoid tax - "this scheme does not work". A landlord responded saying that they were on the verge of setting it up. One response like that makes it all worthwhile.

Recipe for disaster: - Increase rates (making it more difficult to buy houses) - Introduce a lot of ridiculous regulations to the PRS (e.g. S24, Renters Reform Bill, EPC etc), forcing landlords to sell (creating a supply shock). The Gov is either dumb as F and/or pure evil.

Gov need to scrap S24. It was unfair from the beginning, and it's one step that will actually make a big difference to landlords & tenants. Meanwhile, they're telling landlords (borrowers) to switch to interest-only and/or lengthen the loan period so banks make more money!

@moving_charlie To me, this sounds like an explanation by someone that doesn't really understand the problem (or the legal system). Most landlords want long-term, reliable tenants. They don't use S21 (no fault evictions) for frivolous reasons - they use it because S8 doesn't work.

Most people that share their armchair-take on ending S21 (no fault evictions) don't understand the problem (or the legal system). Most LLs don't use S21 for frivolous reasons - they use it when tenants have breached terms of the tenancy and because it's less complicated than S8.

When folk say, "house prices are back to 2015 levels" or something to that effect, what they don't conveniently explain is that GBP is down a lot more against inflation. Meaning, your wealth would have decreased more by not investing. Property preserves wealth, cash does not.

The gov has been on a warpath to shrink the PRS. S24 came home to roost when interest rates leapt. The imminent removal of S21 is the greatest reason behind the flurry of S21’s being served. Gov & tenant activist groups were warned but they’re more interested in column inches.

Don't get it twisted, most landlords don't serve S21 for no reason, they do it because it's less complicated than S8. If the Renters Reform Bill makes it easier for LLs to evict rogue tenants, I don't see eviction rates suddenly declining, especially during a tough economy.
