Top 5 most costly mistakes landlords make
Being a landlord comes with its own set of challenges, and mistakes can be costly both in terms of time and money. Here are five of the most common landlord mistakes that can have significant consequences:
The UK government introduced a significant directive, aimed at addressing issues of damp and mould in rental properties. These new guidelines place a strong emphasis on private landlords, holding them accountable for the condition of their rental units and introducing unlimited fines and (in the most serious of cases) legal action, for those who neglect damp and mould problems. Housing Secretary Michael Gove emphasised that these issues are not the result of ‘lifestyle choices’ but rather the responsibility of landlords to identify and address the root causes, such as structural problems or inadequate ventilation.
The largest overhaul of the PRS in 3 decades.
The thought of Section 21 being abolished and fixed term tenancies no longer being an option is enough to make most property investors ‘tap out early’.
Coupled with the recent Section 24 tax implications, what feels like never ending hikes in mortgage interest rates and looming EPC legislation – it’s not hard to see why landlords are leaving the sector.
