Landlord Legislation: Landlords Urged To Show Patience

Patience is Key for Landlords

Many private rental sector experts have voiced their opinion on the UK real estate market development. An essential suggestion is that landlords should not act hastily by selling their rental properties but wait for government incentives related to buy-to-let.

The Long-Term Benefits of Letting Property

The benefits of letting property are massive and long-term. Although disruptions are normal when significant reforms take place, they usually establish a new normal. Landlords are advised to wait for the second and third readings of the Renters Reform Bill, which will reveal more details.

Concerns from Agents and Landlords

Both agents and landlords have expressed concerns about certain aspects of the Renters Reform Bill, which could lead more landlords to exit the market. Potential deterrents include tighter regulations and the complexities of ending tenancies. The government must offer incentives to keep landlords in the sector, as a shortage of rental properties could harm tenants looking for accommodation.

Positives in the Renters Reform Bill

The Renters Reform Bill offers several benefits, including the strengthening of Section 8 notices and a simplified court application process. Landlords can take comfort knowing they can give notice for valid reasons. Additionally, a new ombudsman will make dispute resolution easier, and the presence of a regulatory body will provide the government with a broader view of the sector.

The Decent Homes Standard

The introduction of the Decent Homes Standard is another positive in the Renters Reform Bill. It will help compensate landlords who maintain good properties and care for their tenants. This standard aims to improve the quality of housing for tenants while rewarding responsible landlords.

Long-Term Industry Outlook

Industry experts urge landlords to take a long-term view. Predictions indicate rental values could grow by 15.9% over the next five years, and capital gains are expected to increase over the long term. Landlords who remain patient and adapt to the new rules are likely to benefit.

Why we must keep listening to residents
The Grenfell Inquiry started again this week with more disclosures from cladding manufacturer Kingspan. In November, we heard that one of the company’s managers had openly said that professionals raising fire safety concerns relating to the company’s insulation should keep quiet or the company would sue them. In fact the actual wording used was taken from a series of internal emails and was a lot less polite. There seems to have been a total d...
