The #1 Danger For Property Investors Right Now

When Labour came into power they promised to make 1 change that could have a huge impact on the UK property market.

And on the surface, it sounds like it could make property investment a lot riskier.

However, I have been a property investor, a landlord and a tenant for over 18 years, and I have a slightly different take on the topic...

I think the danger that everyone’s worried about already exists, but most people don’t understand the law well enough to realise it…

So in this video I am going to reveal what the #1 danger for property investors actually is, and how to avoid it, regardless of what the government does next.

With Labour’s recent rise to power, they’ve proposed changes that could shake up the UK property market, leaving many investors worried about increased risk. But as someone who’s been in the property game for over 18 years, I see things differently. In this video, I’ll reveal why the real danger for property investors in 2024 isn’t what you might think.

I’ll break down the key issues that most people overlook when it comes to property law, and how you can protect your investments, no matter what changes the government brings.

A reference from a previous landlord is useless. Because if the tenant is not paying there, they will tell you anything to get rid of him/her.

Tenants stay put under council advice !!!council telling tenant to ignore a legal notice, can i ignore the council tax then?

Fortunately, in 35 years of being a landlord I've only once needed to issue a section 8 and they moved out. I didn't loose too much money. I have had issues with tenants and usually end up talking to them and coming to some solution to get them out, usually at a loss of money to me. As it's 35 years I'm now looking at how to get out by selling properties once every few years. If CGT goes crazy, that's fine I will get a mortgage out and then wait for a more favourable tax regime.

Its becoming standard in London for even well paid tenants to now offer a guarantor. That was previously something only needed by people who did not have jobs

When issuing a notice, remember to add on 2 days for "delivery" of the notice. Got caught out with this on a 28 day notice... that took 5 months for the tribunal to reject because of this.

Thank you for another excellent video. Point 5 sums it up: Be a good landlord with a good property and you’ll be able to find good tenants.

Very true, the new legislation isn't actually going to move the needle... The big risk is accepting a bad tenant.

In the end the changes won't help the most vulnerable - I moved back to the UK 8 years ago and could not get a rental - no job, no recent credit history and no UK landlord references... Fortunatlely I had enough cash from selling up abroad for a cheap terrace in a northern town but was in air BnB's with wife and kids for 3 months before we completed. Stricter vetting criteria makes sense as a landlord but will be untennable for many people less fortunate.

I just want prices to lower back to normal rates. Saw a wooden shed with glass windows for £70, 000 the other day. No land, just a shed. Not even a trailer to move it.

1:46 Its not remotely unfair on Sally. Name any other area where cotracts are open-ended at the behest of one party. Sally signed a 12m agreement and got the property for 12m. Lefties want to make out that tenants should have all of the rights of ownership but none of the obligations.

Nice channel mate just bought 3 properties in the UK and this is super helpful

Section 8 will cause lots of tenants to end up with ccj’s…… Those tenants will then never be able to rent again.

Am I i correct in thinking a no fault eviction notice will still be available if you want to sell the property ?

HMOs also mitigate the risk. You can hold back one room.and switch to lodging accommodation in extremis.
