Great video, you just won a new subscriber. I’m one of the hated small portfolio landlords, now in the process of selling the 2nd of my portfolio of what was three very high quality rental properties. I’m now using the cash from the other two to pay down the mortgage on the one I’ll keep. I’ve been selling up as my tenants naturally move on. The house currently up for sale was tenanted at rent at least 25% lower than the market rent for a property of the quality and type, having not put the rent up in 5 years or so. Alas being taxed on revenue instead of profit (I.e. section 24), increased interest rates, pending EPC rules, forthcoming removal of section 21, and just the vilification of good landlords, plus the fact I can earn the same return in a good interest account, has led me to the conclusion, renting a property is no longer worth the risk of a bad tenant who can string out an eviction for a year or more. The big picture is that good landlords are leaving the market in droves, creating a shortage in rental properties and the inevitable rise in rental pricing. Bad for tenants and bad for the government with loss of rental tax. Go figure!

If the Government continues on it's current course and continues to treat landlords punitively it's going to have serious problems. Corporate landlords will not be the tenant friendly that you might expect. Only landlords with small portfolios look after their property and tenants with care and respect recognising that to do otherwise may damage their financial income. The government has not invested in social housing and will be unable to house those who will become homeless if the do not act sensibly with the introduction of legislation and taxes.

The attitude to small portfolio landlords is interesting. Before Brexit the EU was making some very aggressive statements about wanting what they referred to as "accidental" or "amateur" landlords out of the sector and wanted private rental to be restricted to large companies. its was never clear why but then Brexit came along and there was no need to the UK to adopt the same antagonistic small landlord position. I'm pleased to see that the committee also can see no reason. If you look at recent damp and unfit properties these are often large operators and even local authorities so there is no case that big is better for tenants.

[@pyellard3013]

Where is this "EU policy" and what EU laws have/were proposed or passed? I can understand that the UK government thinking that large "professional" landlords with 10,000s of homes on the German model are desirable.. But the German situation was created over a very long time. The only way the UK can emulate it is by giving generous tax concessions to investors to build whole estates for letting and that will still take years for such a valuation modatiin to be be built. . In the meantime forcing small landlords out of the market reduces supply of badly needed rental accommodation.

Is there anything on the EPC ratings? Some properties will need thousands spent on them to increase from a D to a C, with no real benefit to anyone, except contractors.

The document says this on EPC's: Under the regulations enshrining the MEES, any domestic property that does not require an energy performance certificate (EPC) is not classed as a private rented property, and therefore is not subject to the requirement to comply with the MEES. Stand-alone properties with a total floor space under 50 square metres are exempt from the requirement to have an EPC, however, which means they are also exempt from the MEES.139 As a result of this exemption, an unknown number of homes in the PRS can have EERs below band E.

I've been housing people in my very nice 2 bed Wimbledon garden flat for 16 years and had two sitting tenants. Two too many. The first was two middle eastern men who trashed my flat and garden and stole fittings and furniture and stopped paying the rent, provided to me by a housing association through Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward. And a Brazilian man, wife and son who got my flat at a low price just before the covid BS then had the rent pegged for 2yrs (which I agreed to) and didn't want to leave at the end of a far too long 3yr contract. It took me 8 months to get them out, they said they were looking but this was a lie. They got a dog in my flat which annoyed neighbours and was not allowed by the contract. Luckily it didn't have flees but hair made redecorating harder. Both evictions cost me c£2000. With section 21 being removed and the government/cabal wanting to fill the UK with economic immigrants I left the market. As MANY others are doing for all these reasons and more. If you buy to let these days I'd think twice! Just saying. For example waiting 12 months to be able to sell your property is way too long given the current, very uncertain state of the world.

You ignore that small landlords are bound to want to be able to limit a tenancy to a fix period. Fixed period tenancies require Section 21 or similiar. Post WW2 abolishing of fixed term tenancies crippled the PRS.. Is that what the government now wants? Section 21 should be reformed so that periodic tenancies become roll over tenancies unless a new contract is signed or a Section 21 is served before or shortly after expiry of a fixed term contract. Any such section 21 that is served time expiring if not enforced (by court summons) and a new roll over tenancy being created on expiry of the Section 21. Such a reform would ensure that Section 21 would only be served by Landlords who really want possession.. I note that "socialist" France has fixed term tenancies albeit at a minimum of three years.. Most small UK landlords could live with that. The government could also encourage Assured (long term) Tenancies by making such Assured Tenancies tax advantageous. Eg each AST contract could be taxed ar £500. The tax being self enforcing as a licence (similiar to car licence) having to be obtained online or at the post office and attached to the AST contract. Small landlords would most probably pay the tax but for larger landlords a AST over a AS has few advantages..

As a private tenant for many years, and now, thank God within the housing association and social housing sector. I would love the government to end the private rented sector. There is no place for lord no-body to laud it over tenants, and be a miserable, controling, authoritarian, and bullying pos. The sooner the government ends the PRS, the better. Those properties should be someone's secure home, not another's nest egg at the instability of another. My brother in law is a PRS landlord of four properties and he seems to think he's better than those he let's too. That they are beneath him and that his word is law, IN THEIR HOME. PRS landlords are not a service to society they diminish the society by constantly breaking it up, forcing or enabling community to crumble. All communities need solid invested citizens and PRS landlords disrupt this process for their own gain often in communities where they themselves do not live. Properties should be let by larger companies that are registered businesses, with multiple staff and repair teams etc proper insurance and back up properties for tenants requiring alternative accommodation in emergencies. PRS cannot and does not and will never supply this. The tenant, good or bad, is a human being first and foremost. The choice of whether tenant should stay or leave should not be an individuals choice but a board vote to remove bias and personal emotions from choices made by landlords. The PRS is awash with unscrupulous bags if s*#t for landlords. Many tenants come from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds who probably won't be able to check a database of a good or bad landlord to check or in such a poor situation only the bad landlords are available creating a two tier rental market. Better ranked charging higher rates with greater rules and less interested in poorer more disadvantaged possible tenants, while the badly rated would seek any tenant and provide these people with the worse service not the best to help them. The answer is simply END landlordship for rental homes, holiday homes is a different sector so why don't these landlords pursue this? Because of greed and power. Not an income from helping others or providing a genuine service to a community. I hate smug fucks like you sitting there talking shit without acknowledging the harm PRS and prs landlords do to lives, families and communities for their own gain. You arrogant greedy twats. Who gave you the right to charge the cist of a property to a tenant or series of tenants to pay the mortgage on a property you cash in on later when selling it, when you didn't buy it, you simply did the paperwork.

Do you not think that Build to Rent is the Gov't driving force? They are selling it to the market almost as an ETF by attracting the major corporates into the sector. Increasing rents is generating greater yields making it even more attractive. In addition they are almost entirely new builds meaning the EPC is B+ and meets another of their back door rules. Trouble is if you live in a market town Build to Rent is not attractive, it is about intensive 'farming', people in smaller conurbations will find it impossible to rent a property, either because it will not meet the EPC or be so expensive it is outside their budget.

3 months you say? You're Section 21 is now invalid and needs to be re-issued.

@@michaeljackman1046 i aksed for compensation on an a garage not under my tenancy agreement for the past 5 years, (iv been paying its energy and never had use of it) also asked for damp/mold/ extreme cold repairs.

@@awhisperedbeing citizens advice does not seem to thinks so, iv been told, i need an order from a environmental officer first to stop a 21 for repairs, which cant take months, so he got me out before i could even do that. im waiting for a warrent of possiona atm.

[@awhisperedbeing]

Oh understood. Your section 21 was valid but you've chosen to ignore it and fight to the bitter end. Question for you? Is the CCJ you'll have against your credit file once you're finally evicted worth this hassle to you? You do know it'll make it exceptionally difficult for you to find another tenancy because you'll fail every credit check?

This is the only country on the planet where politicians hate landlords, no matter who is in power. Landlords should withhold their properties for a year or two and see what happens and cause a housing crisis then they will get the message

[@ashbohgan2022]

We need laws for eviction . Takes 6 months nd the money you lose on rent is added up.which you'll never get back. If tenants not paid in a week then out get someone who can pay. We not a charity

[@StarRosieStar]

why are landlords so afraid of doing a bit of extra work and spending a bit of extra money if they truly beleive that being a landord is a legitimate job or business

[@maureenbudgen474]

We need to vote the M.P out. They are supposed to be working for us. But they are not for us the people.

As a small scale landlord renting to the student sector I very much welcome the report discussed in this video. My question is .........Who are the numbskulls who proposed this new legislation? I need names. Put them in the stocks on the village green. I have my rotten tomatoes ready.

Dubai had all of this years ago..

[@wildbillharding]

Tell us more!

[@vasiliualexandru4725]

Ok landlords have been played as fools 😂 nothing new they accepted it , and wonder why they complain now? How about the tenants whom rent the house and the landlord doesn't invest money in the house at all ? I lived in a house with moldy wood ( bed bugs bed) an old boiler that even the tech engineer told there aren't any parts on the market for the boiler, the pipe line so many f issues, pipe leakage, shit popping out true sewer canal, how to make Land lords accountable for their shit property to be more severe on them

[@davidsears7845]

Sounds like a committee with common sense!

[@John-se7rc]

It's because most mps are landlords profiteering from the poor vulnerable people it has created.

[@lotus8576]

What about if something happened to the owner and they have to sell you are not addressing any of that , maybe the owners daughter run away from her husband with 2 children and the owner father needs to give roof over his daughters head and his grandchildren

[@tobsstone]

ufff, you are super cute

[@5688gamble]

Evict the landlords, more social housing, less exploitative leeches, squat now, then seize all homes from those who are greedy for those who are needy! Take everything back for the people and jail the criminals who extort those with nothing!

[@marcwareham9351]

Sounds like something a loser would say.

[@milkybar6276]

Don't have a clue, do you?

[@mickusdickus168]

You mean steal from people who’ve made something of themselves? That’s the only way you can get ahead in life. Not going to happen, you entitled little boy. Landlords have left - because they’ve had enough of entitled little boys - and now your rent is higher and you have fewer properties to choose from. You deserve it.
