• e-mail

This year has proven a mixed 捕らえる、獲得する for landlords.?

On the one 手渡す, many will have seen their 利益（をあげる） 利ざやs 削除するd by higher mortgage 率s.

In October the 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 Hamptons 報告（する）／憶測d that landlords are now 支払う／賃金ing 40 per cent more mortgage 利益／興味 than they were a year ago.

But?rents have also been hurtling 上向きs, which will have 相殺する some of the mortgage costs for those who have one, and 大いに benefitted those that own buy-to-lets without a mortgage.

Higher 利益（をあげる） and loss: Many landlords will have seen their 利益（をあげる） 利ざやs 削除するd by higher mortgage 率s but 普通の／平均（する） rents have also risen?意味ありげに

Over the past two years, the 普通の／平均（する） rent on a newly-agreed tenancy has risen by more than 20 per cent, によれば the HomeLet 賃貸しの 索引.?

Aside from 増加するd costs for both landlords and renters there were a few other 著名な things that happened in 2023.?

The 政府 scrapped its 計画（する）s to 軍隊 landlords to 昇格 the energy efficiency of their 所有物／資産／財産s.

Although it had not 公式に become 法律, landlords had 恐れるd these 討議するd 計画（する）s which would 強要する them to 昇格 their 賃貸しの 所有物／資産／財産s to 達成する an EPC 率ing of C by 2028.

At 現在の, all 賃貸しの 所有物／資産／財産s in England and むちの跡s need to have an EPC of at least E ーするために be let, unless they are 免除された.

This now looks 始める，決める to remain as the 支配する for the foreseeable 未来 after a 政府 u-turn earlier this year.

No more: There were 恐れるs that landlords would be 要求するd to 昇格 their 所有物／資産／財産s to an EPC of C 率ing by 2028 in ord er to let them out, but the 政策 has since been scrapped

一方／合間, the long を待つd Renters 改革（する） 法案 was introduced into 議会 in May.

Although it is yet to become 法律, renters look 始める，決める to receive new 権利s to challenge landlords on rent 引き上げ（る）s and substandard homes.

The 提案s have been 述べるd as the biggest shake up of the 私的な 賃貸しの 部門 in 30 years, 場内取引員／株価 a generational 転換 that could 是正する the balance between landlords and tenants.

Many landlords will also find they are 支払う／賃金ing more 資本／首都 伸び（る）s 税金 when selling a 所有物／資産／財産 that has 増加するd in value.

The 年次の 免除された 量 for 資本／首都 伸び（る）s 税金 was 削減（する） from £12,300 to £6,000 in April 2023, and will halve again from April this year to just £3,000.

Landlords making more 利益（をあげる） than that when selling 所有物／資産／財産s will be 税金d at a 率 of 18 per cent, or 28 per cent for higher-率 taxpayers.?

CGT is 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d on any 利益（をあげる） someone makes on an 資産 that has 増加するd in value, when they come to sell it. This could be when selling a buy-to-let 投資 or company 株 for example.

We decided to take a closer look at what's in 蓄える／店 for landlords in 2024.?

Bigger 税金 法案s: From April 2024, the 普通の／平均（する） higher-率 taxpaying landlord will 支払う／賃金 £2,610 or 12% in CGT when selling, によれば Hamptons

General 選挙

The next General 選挙 is likely to take place in late 2024. As it draws ever closer, landlords will be keeping a の近くに 注目する，もくろむ on what the main 政党s are 約束ing on 住宅.

略奪する Dix co-創立者 of 所有物／資産／財産 中心 and co-host of The 所有物／資産／財産 Podcast says: 'The big one is the General 選挙 that's almost 保証（人）d to be held in late 2024.?

'住宅 will be a major 問題／発行する during the （選挙などの）運動をする, so landlords will need to keep an 注目する，もくろむ on the 政策s that the major par 関係 are 申し込む／申し出ing.

'Of course, just because a party says they'll 器具／実施する something doesn't mean they will.'

Renters' 改革（する） 法案

The 政府's Renters 改革（する） 法案 is 現在／一般に making its way through 議会.

If successful it should 上げる 存在するing tenant 保護s against so called 'backdoor' evictions, for example by 確実にするing tenants can 控訴，上告 against above-market rents designed to 軍隊 them out.

The 政府 is also planning for all tenants to be moved の上に a 選び出す／独身 system of periodic tenancies.

A periodic tenancy is often referred to as a rolling tenancy with no 直す／買収する，八百長をするd end date.

Most ren ters 現在／一般に will be on something called an 保証するd shorthold tenancy (AST), which becomes periodic when the 直す／買収する，八百長をするd 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 comes to an end unless another 直す／買収する，八百長をするd 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 is agreed upon.

This change will mean renters can leave sub-par 住宅 without 存在 held liable for the rent until the end of the 契約. 平等に they will be able to move more easily if and when their circumstances change.

No fault evictions? Section 21 現在／一般に enables landlords to repossess their 所有物／資産／財産s from 保証するd shorthold tenants without having to 設立する fault on the part of the tenant

The Renters' 改革（する） 法案 may also end the 権利 of landlords to 除去する tenants using 'no fault' evictions. However, that particular change was 延期するd 無期限に／不明確に by the 政府 in October until the 法廷，裁判所 system is 改革（する）d.

That said, if 労働 勝利，勝つs the next General 選挙 it says no fault evictions are likely to be 含むd as part of the 改革（する）s 関わりなく what is happening in the 法廷，裁判所 system.

略奪する Dix of 所有物／資産／財産 中心 追加するs: 'I don't have a problem with the Renters 改革（する） 法案, as long as landlords are able to 伸び（る） timely 所有／入手 through the 法廷，裁判所s if a tenant doesn't 停止する their 味方する of the 取引.

'This was 約束d as a pre-条件 for 実施, but the 労働 party is 現在／一般に 説 it will 器具／実施する the 法案 'on day one' without waiting for 法廷，裁判所 改革（する）.

'If that happens, the 調整 is likely to be messy and it won't be good news for landlords.

'It's already bad news for tenants, because the 不確定 means landlords are pre-emptively ending tenancies where they have any 疑問s while they still can.

Decent Homes 基準 review

The 政府 計画（する）s to introduce a 合法的な 義務 on landlords to 確実にする their 所有物／資産／財産 会合，会うs the Decent Homes 基準.

The 現在の 施行 system places the 義務 on 地元の 会議s to identify hazards in 個人として rented homes, and take 施行 活動／戦闘 against the landlord.

This means some landlords are not proactive in keeping their 所有物／資産／財産s up to a decent 基準, and instead wait for an 査察 to be told what 改良s need to be made. 一方／合間, tenants live in 容認できない 条件s.

The new 支配するs would 含む an updated 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of items that need to be kept in a reasonable 明言する／公表する of 修理, and an updated 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of 施設s that every 所有物／資産／財産 must have to 反映する modern needs and new 基準s for damp and mould.

If landlords are 設立する to be in 違反 of 基準s by a 地元の 会議 through an 査察, this would be a 犯罪の offence and it will be dealt with by either 問題／発行するing a civil 刑罰，罰則 or 請け負うing a 起訴 in the 治安判事's 法廷，裁判所.

Hazard: The 政府 計画（する）s to introduce a 合法的な 義務 on landlords to 確実にする their 所有物／資産／財産 会合，会うs the Decent Homes 基準

The 政府 is also 提案するing that 失敗 to 従う with this 義務 be made a banning order offence. This would stop a landlord from letting 所有物／資産／財産 or engaging in letting 機関 or 所有物／資産／財産 管理／経営 work.

Dirk Dette, 長，率いる of lettings 同意／服従 at Chestertons 広い地所 スパイ／執行官s says: 'The updated 見解／翻訳／版 of the Decent Homes 基準 is 存在 worked on by the 政府.

'This piece of work has been 影を投げかけるd by the Renters 改革（する） 法案 but is 平等に important for landlords to remain aware of.

'While the 大多数 of landlords keep their 所有物／資産／財産s in an excellent 条件, they will also need to 確実にする that they 会合，会う the 最小限 必要物／必要条件s 始める，決める by the 基準.

'その上の, for the landlords who operate in the short-let or holiday 賃貸しの market there are also the changes introduced by the Levelling-up and Regeneration 行為／法令／行動する 2023.

'This will 許す for the new 任命 for holiday lets under class of use which will 要求する the landlords to 適用する for a change of use.'

Squeezed 利ざやs

Many mortgaged landlords are coming off 直す／買収する，八百長をするd 率 取引，協定s 支払う／賃金ing 2 per cent or いっそう少なく, and having to 調印する up to new ones 非難する around 6 per cent.??

The 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 Hamptons 見積（る）s that nearly two thirds of 賃貸しの income paid to mortgaged landlords will be spent 支払う／賃金ing mortgage 利益／興味.?

Almost two thirds of 私的な landlords 推定する／予想する to see their mortgage 支払い（額）s 増加する over the next 12 months, によれば the 国家の 居住の Landlords 協会 (NRLA).

Landlord exodus? Some 報告（する）／憶測s 示唆する that buy-to-let 投資家s are 存在 軍隊d to sell up まっただ中に 急に上がるing mortgage costs

Although mortgage 率s have fallen 支援する in 最近の months, they remain at far higher levels than what many mortgaged landlords had become accustomed to.

There are 現在／一般に more than two million buy-to-let mortgages 優れた, によれば UK 財政／金融.

The days of mortgage 率s hovering between 1 and 2 per cent appear to be over and the new normal is 推定する／予想するd to see 率s hovering between 5 per cent and 6 per cent.

At 現在の the 普通の／平均（する） five-year 直す／買収する，八百長をするd 率 buy-to-let mortgage is 5.91 per cent, によれば Moneyfacts, while the 普通の／平均（する） two-year 直す／買収する，八百長をする is 5.95 per cent

With the 大多数 of mortgaged landlords operating on 利益／興味-only mortgages, the 引き上げ（る） in 率s can lay waste to their 利益（をあげる） 利ざやs.

A £200,000 利益／興味-only mortgage jumping from 2 per cent to 6 per cent will see 月毎の costs jump from £334 to £1,000.

追加する that to 無効の periods, 修理s, 維持／整備, letting スパイ／執行官 料金s, 同意／服従 checks, 保険 and service 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金s and it shows why some landlords may choose to 出口 the market.

Ben Beadle, 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある of the 国家の 居住の Landlords 協会, says: 'によれば Savills, landlord 利益（をあげる）s are at their lowest level since 2007 - a reflection of the fact that landlords are not 不当利得行為 by raising rents.

'Landlords should continue to 確実にする that they can 天候 the 衝撃 of growing costs and, where appropriate, should 協議する 財政上の 助言者s to 確実にする their 商売／仕事s remain 維持できる.'

Rising rents

While mortgage costs have 増加するd, so have rents. This will have helped mitigate the 追加するd costs landlords are 直面するing.

Across the country, renters 直面する the 厳しい reality of there 存在 too many tenants and too few homes 利用できる to let.?

Rightmove says the number of enquiries each 所有物／資産／財産 is receiving from would-be tenants has more than ３倍になるd, from six per 所有物／資産／財産 in 2019 to 20 per 所有物／資産／財産 in 2023.?

In some 場所s there are 概略で 50 enquiries for each 賃貸しの 所有物／資産／財産.

Hot market: Wrexham in むちの跡s was 2023's busiest 賃貸しの 場所, with 利用できる 賃貸しの homes in the area receiving 56 enquiries on 普通の／平均（する） in 2023, up from eight enquiries 支援する in 2019

This has resulted in rents rising 意味ありげに. Between November 2021 and November this year, the 普通の／平均（する） UK rent per 所有物／資産／財産 rose by more than 20 per cent from £1,058 a month to £1,279, によれば the HomeLet 賃貸しの 索引.

'The 相当な rent 増加するs over the past couple of years have gone some way to offsetting the 衝撃 of higher mortgage 率s,' 追加するs 略奪する Dix.?

'Landlords should make sure they're 非難する the market 率 at the next 適切な時期 for 再開.

'There's not much that can be done to 減ずる costs, but the good news is mortgage 率s do appear to be coming 負かす／撃墜する somewhat ? so for anyone 新たにするing in 2024, the position might not be as bad as they 推定する／予想する.'

The 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 Savills, 予測（する）s a その上の 6 per cent rise in the 普通の／平均（する） rent in 2024, but says rents will 攻撃する，衝突する an 'affordability 天井' in 2025.

Short 供給（する）: The 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 Savills 推定する／予想するs the 供給（する） and 需要・要求する 不均衡 will continue next year and 予測（する）s aver age rents to rise 6% in 2024 before things slow 負かす／撃墜する

Dirk Dette at Chestertons says: 'As with any market the costs are 決定するd through 供給（する） and 需要・要求する.?

'With the 政府 failing to build social 住宅 and 付加 重荷（を負わせる）s placed on developers, the 供給（する） 面 will remain a 重要な 問題／発行する.?

'In contrast, the 量 of tenants moving 支援する into the city and people renting for much longer will keep 押し進めるing 需要・要求する which will keep 押し進めるing rents up.'

略奪する Dix of 所有物／資産／財産 中心 thinks the period of 極端に 早い rent rises is probably now behind us.

He says: 'In parts of London, rents seem to have over-発射 and are now lower than where they were a year ago.

'But there's still a 根底となる 供給（する） and 需要・要求する 不均衡, so I think it's likely that rents will continue to 増加する ? just at a more 穏健な 率.'

落ちるing mortgage 率s?

The good news for landlords is the fact mortgage 率s have been 落ちるing in 最近の months, with the Bank of England's base 率 推定する／予想するd to be 削減（する） next year.

The lowest buy-to-let mortgage 率s are now below 4.5 per cent and many 分析家s are 予測（する）ing 利益／興味 率s to 落ちる in 2024.

貸す人s price their mortgages based on 未来 market 期待s for 利益／興味 率s, whilst also trying to 攻撃する，衝突する their own 基金ing and lending 的s.

Market 利益／興味 率 期待s are 反映するd in 交換（する） 率s. These 交換（する） 率s are 影響（力）d by long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 market 発射／推定s for the Bank of England base 率, 同様に as the wider economy, 内部の bank 的s and competitor pricing.

Sonia 交換（する）s are used by 貸す人s to price mortgages. Five-year 交換（する）s are 現在／一般に at 3.36 per cent. Two-year 交換（する）s are now at 3.99 per cent.

Only as recently as July, five-year 交換（する）s were above 5 per cent. 類似して, the two-year 交換（する）s were coming in around 6 per cent.

（警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 the market: 普通の／平均（する） mortgage 率s have been 落ちるing but the best buys are 井戸／弁護士席 below the 普通の／平均（する）

'Landlords have been 攻撃する，衝突する by the 衝撃 of rising mortgage 率s just like anyone else,' say s Ben Beadle of the NRLA.

'The prospect of mortgage 率s 落ちるing will be a 救済 and will help to 減ずる some of the 上向きs 圧力 on rents.'

But 略奪する Dix of 所有物／資産／財産 中心 勧めるs landlords not to become complacent about the direction of mortgage 率s.

'Mortgage 率s are already drifting downwards,' he says. 'It appears that they will continue to 落ちる somewhat ? but an インフレーション shock could easily send them 支援する the other way.

'Landlords need to be aware that the past 14 years have been the exception rather than the norm, and 計画（する） accordingly.'

Will house prices 落ちる in 2024?

Higher mortgage 率s and 二塁打-digit インフレーション had many 推測するing at the start of the year that the 住宅 market was in for an almighty 衝突，墜落. However, no 衝突，墜落 has materialised.

Looking ahead to 2024, many are 推定する／予想するing more of the same, 予測（する）ing 普通の／平均（する） prices to finish 2024 up to 5 per cent lower.

More of the same? Looking ahead to 2024, many are 推定する／予想するing more of the same, 予測（する）ing 普通の／平均（する） prices to finish 2024 up to 5% lower

'I can't remember a year when it's been so difficult to 予測（する） what's likely to happen to house prices,' says Dix.

'It's 大部分は 扶養家族 on the path of the base 率 and general market 感情, which is impossible to 予報する and can change quickly.

'If 軍隊d to guess, I'd say that another year of stagnation is the most likely 結果, which of course will 延長する the 相当な real-条件 落ちる we've seen over the past couple of years.'

Will landlords continue to 出口?

Landlords have sold almost 300,000 more homes than they've bought since 2016, によれば 分析 by Hamptons.

Although this is by no means an exodus, it means there isn't enough to support the 準備／条項 of new homes to rent to 会合，会う growing 需要・要求する.

It is likely some landlords will sell up in 2024, not least because of 追加するd mortgage costs.

The number in mortgage arrears has 二塁打d year-on-year thanks to high 率s, によれば UK 財政／金融, while insolvencies of buy-to-let companies also rose 35 per cent over the past year.

>?Should I 購入（する） a buy-to-let 経由で a 限られた／立憲的な company? Will I 支払う／賃金 いっそう少なく 税金??

Rising 法案s: Landlords are 支払う／賃金ing 40% more mortgage 利益／興味 than in August 2022, which equates to an extra £4.3bn each year, によれば Hamptons

Ben Beadle says: 'Without steps to develop プロの／賛成の-growth 税金 対策 and to 確実にする responsible landlords have 信用／信任 in the Renters (改革（する）) 法案 every bit as much as tenants, we sadly see no change to the 根底となる challenges the 賃貸しの market 直面するs.

'It will be important to 避ける the difficulties seen in Scotland which has seen the 私的な rented 部門 縮む by 6 per cent since 改革（する）s 類似の to those in the Renters (改革（する）) 法案 were introduced.'

On 最高の，を越す of incre ased mortgage 率s, 規則 and 税金, many landlords are 推定する／予想するd to continue selling 簡単に because they want to retire.

The 最新の 政府 調査する of landlords puts the age of the 普通の／平均（する） buy-to-let 投資家 at 59, with just 15 per cent under the age of 45.

Around 140,000 landlords 'retired' from the 商売／仕事 in 2022, によれば the 広い地所 機関 Hamptons, accounting for almost three ４半期/4分の1s of all 所有物／資産／財産 sales by buy-to-let 投資家s.

It says this 人物／姿／数字 is likely to continue rising over the coming years, with around 96,000 landlords turning 65 each year across the UK.

Selling up: Since 2016, landlords have sold more 所有物／資産／財産s than have been 購入（する）d. Hamptons 見積（る）s by the end this year there will be almost 300,000 homes

Dirk Dette at Chestertons says: 'If you take into account the 最小限 age of landlords within the 部門, the 大多数 are now reaching 退職 age which will in turn result in a lot of them 出口ing the market as planned many years ago.

'There are also the 付加 重荷（を負わせる）s placed on landlords with the 除去 of mortgage 利益／興味 救済 and the 不確定 that will come with the Renters 改革（する） 法案 which will 押し進める a lot of landlords to 修正する their 計画（する）s and 潜在的に sell earlier than 想像するd.

'Without （疑いを）晴らす 活動／戦闘 from the 政府 to relieve some of the 重荷（を負わせる）s and 不確定s, it is likely that this 出口 will continue.'

略奪する Dix also 推定する／予想するs to see more landlords selling than buying in 2024.

'I think the combination of political 不確定 and rising 率s will encourage landlords who've been in the game for a long time to think about selling up,' says Dix.

'Psychology 存在 what it is though, no-one likes selling into a weak market, even if they've 利益d from ample 資本／首都 伸び（る）s during the time they've been 持つ／拘留するing, and some people just aren't comfortable with other 資産 classes.

'So I think we'll see another 逮捕する outflow in 2024, but not a 相当な one.'
