Landlords’ Barometer – #41: How landlords feel about court ruling

Welcome to “Landlords’ Barometer #41” … bringing you a “Tenant Tax” special with exclusive content from yesterday’s procedural hearing into whether there can be a Judicial Review into Section 24. This was a landmark event in the PRS and the issue affects the future of the entire sector.

Live from the Judicial Review hearing

I was sitting in Court 18 at the Royal Courts of Justice, live blogging the action as it happened and being the first to announce the Judge’s verdict.

Industry reactions

Following the Judge’s verdict, we headed outside the Royal Courts to record reaction interviews with co-claimants Steve Bolton and Chris Cooper, Cherie Blair Q.C., and other landlords and industry stake-holders.

Change in landlord behaviour

Landlords are incorporating in droves to avoid the impact of Section 24.

Families are being evicted from their homes in Peterborough to house the homeless

World gone mad! If this is not a precursor to the destruction caused by Section 24 … councils are so desperate for housing, they are running out of options. This is just the start.

Diversifying in the face of Section 24

Our tax partner, RITA, have written an in-depth article to help landlords prepare for the impact of Section 24.

Thank you for reading my column and I hope you find these insights useful to your business and decisions that you make where landlords are involved.
