Well if you make it harder to be a landlord what exactly did they think would happen ?
Also profiteering.
Don’t forget the profiteering – there’s plenty of paid up houses being rented out where the price goes up just “because” rather than fro any real financial reason.
It’s fine, Labour will be delivering 400,000 new homes per year for the remainder of their parliament as per their manifesto promise.
too bad there nothing to do……. if only there was a way to I don’t know….. increase supply.
no no no, of course not, would not want to build on the green belt!!! Oh, and apartment blocks, so unsightly. And what do I care I already own my home.
Know that I think of it, the more barriers we make for building homes the better really. Let’s make developers read and check against thousands of pages and multiple over written and opposing regulations.
The goalposts of life keep moving. I look at people 10 years older than me (not in a jealous way) who have the same careers as myself and what they’ve been able to achieve at my age is now impossible for me.
And this is just a ten years difference.
They had the house, car and family. I’m wondering what from that I can actually achieve now
I put an offer in to buy my rented house a few months ago when I worked out the mortgage I’d get was £200 below my current rent. Funnily enough I never heard back. Someone enjoys their monthly “pay cheque”
Looking to buy elsewhere now and thanks to the new renting law on the 1st may all I’ll need to give them is 8 weeks notice.
You mean that political donors are earning record profits. Nothing to see here.
>Rents reached 36.1% of average earnings in March 2025 – their highest level on record – according to the latest detailed annual review produced by the Chartered Institute of Housing.
Date from nearly a year ago isnt exactly useful. Especially when [2025](https://www.property118.com/falling-rents-set-a-new-record-as-landlord-investment-drops/) saw an overall drop in rents.
It’ll be interesting to see what the new renters rights bill does to this.
Imo it’ll make it significantly worse, it’s really not worth being a small time landlord anymore.
Would adding more taxes and regulation help encourage housing supply?
And yet people still think landlords are great. Vote Green if you want to end the corrupt landlordism.
Lack of supply, decades long falling fertility rate, somehow demand keeps increasing incredibly fast.
It’s not just a supply issue any longer. Building more homes won’t solve anything.
You’ve got the likes of Blackstock, Lloyds, Barclays, HSBC buying up huge numbers of houses to rent out. By 2030, these groups are looking at having hundreds of thousands of rental properties in their portfolio. Lloyds alone want to have 30,000.
You’re no longer in competition with other people to buy a house. You’re up against the biggest, richest corporates around.
If we 2-3x building, the corporates will just 2-3x their portfolio. They’ve got billions to spend.
Until regulations are tightened on landlordism as an industry, nothing is going to change. Why are foreign based corporations allowed to buy up British property? It’s a joke.
Successive governments have been trying to increase supply for decades… and it hasn’t worked. It’s time to tighten ownership and profit rules.
Everyone making their own argument whether it’s their culture war stuff on migration or blaming landlords for following supply and demand
W just need to do one thing
Build more homes!
Please will someone stop the nimbys and allow us to do this!
What do you expect? More people in and born than go out?
Sometimes I do wonder if it is supply. There are some brand new luxury flats in Canning Town which have rent tags so high that young professionals would pay 40-50% of their incomes on, nevermind the impoverished population of Newham
Yet the lights in those buildings are barely on. Occupancy rates, I suspect, are simply not high enough
The only way to get house prices down is to build more, we all know that.
The problem is that most people don’t want huge new estates built near them, and who can blame them. Who would want the green fields near their home built over (particularly as it might lower the value of ones own house as well) ?
So, some people say, don’t listen to the locals, over ride their concerns.
But what I find interesting is the people who generally say that are the same people who think default 20mph speed limits or LTNs should be introduced “because the local people want them” (even though nationally the majority do not want them).
Bit inconsistent ?
i know everyone hates landlords but here is my perspective.
11 years ago we wanted to sell our house and move out, but we had trouble because we had some knotweed (didnt start on our property) and i attempted to get 6 neighbours to chip in and resolve the problem. Ultimately I couldn’t. So we decided to get an interest only mortage, rent the place and move away.
I have managed to keep the rent at the same level for the tenants (the same tenants) for over a decade. it’s a great deal for them. they are paying 1300 a month for a pretty big two bed with a nice garden in stratford. other places on the street are charging 2k! i also gave them 6 months during covid rent-free because the dude lost his job.
I am still resisting putting up the rent but the cost of living is absolutely nuts and it’s more and more tempting.
anyway, just a story from a villainous landlord.
What is actually going on with Labour’s promise to totally overhaul planning laws? It was talked about a lot after they got elected as something they were going to put in motion with haste. But it seems to have all gone very quiet.
There isn’t a lack of housing supply, we need to just do something serious about the amount of empty houses/flats bought by foreign investors just so they can sell them years down the line at a profit.
I also have no idea why governments are so scared about imposing rent controls/limits
Lets make life more difficult for Landlords by abolishing Section 21 – Landlords leave the market because the financial risk exposure is beyond what they are prepared to tolerate – Less properties on the market – rents go up. Surprise _______ing Surprise!
