Landlords are SCREWED in 2025

Being a landlord in the UK right now is tougher than ever—and in 2025, things are only going to get worse!

The issue is that either the renter or the owner must in some way pay insurance and property taxes if they want a "permanent roof" with utilities like electricity, gas and water. Because of this, many people—at least in California, where I currently reside—are living in tents. No taxes, rent, mortgages, or insurance. The number of people who tell me they live in their car that I meet amazes me. Its crazy out here!

They don’t want the middle class to have assets

[williamford]

you will own nothing and be happy, its by design, WEF told us

I looked up an old flat I used to live in, in Bayswater, London. One bedroom, one living room one bathroom a kitchen and a small courtyard.
My landlord purchased the property in 1999 for £95k. I used to pay £1250/m rent.
That flat is now worth £725, 000 according to the real estate estimator I was looking at last night.
When I was renting I could have bought the 1 bedroom flat upstairs for £235, 000 in 2004 but didn’t have the deposit. That flat is now worth £800k!
Things are insane!!!

Funny people think that if landlords sell up is a good thing... Rents will be sky high if landlords sell up as private companies will own everything

[cherylhills]

Absolutely love it!!! I'll have to be financially stable in every sense before purchasing my first supercar. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly because money left saving will end up with no returns

[meredith]

Sucks for decent tenants too my friend, we should unite together 🙌. Government has screwed us all!!

[incognaytopotayto]

I just had a conversation with my landlord, who’s having to increase my rent by over £100 a month just to break even. I’m very lucky they don’t need to sell, but the fear that it could get a lot worse is scary. There are no homes to rent, and I can’t buy

Come down to Cornwall and do a tour, and explain to existing private landlords how to restructure into a company structure cost effectively, help the people that are already in the game and struggling, so they can keep their tenants then you will have a win win situation that helps everyone.

Housing crisis triggers a market crash or a financial crisis, it could send shockwaves through the stock markets worldwide. I’m worried about my investment of over $600K stocks. Is this a time to consider diversifying my portfolios?

We need to be clear about the fact that this will only impact Landlords who own very few properties or a single property and are living off of a wage.

Business who buy up properties will not feel this, this is yet another way of transferring wealth from the middle class to the upper class.

These truly are bad times for the majority, im in a group of entrepreneurs, there about 12 of us in the group chat and we're all self made in different fields. I'd say the outlook of our group has never been so negative in the 8 years we've been in it. i'd say 9 out of 12 in the group are struggling right now where as before the pandemic all 12 of us were killing it in our own fields.

Service charges has been biggest reason why landlords are selling their apartment.
A two bed room flat in Liverpool on £600 rent and owner have £500 service charge to pay.
How would you even breakeven

All by design. They don’t want anyone to have anything

[bulentaydin]

The worst part tenant not paying rent or damaging more then rent like maintenance

[youtubeman]

I must live in a different world to you, I’m still buying and the houses I already rent are doing fine, I haven’t increased any of my rents because my tenants can’t afford it, I do eat beans but I haven’t had to go in a food bank, yet, , there’s some cheap houses out there and plenty of buyers I had to bid against 3 other cash buyers the other day I lost because people are still buying the buy to let market is doing ok,

[alphatucanaletsplay]

Being a tenant in 2024 kind of sucks too. :D

[joshuaprice]

What if you by the property out right? With no buy to let? Is is still worth it then?

[DARRELLGRIFFITHS]

I’m in Wales, got a shop and flat, been saying this for 2 years.

[johnpeters]

landlords eating out of food banks, have a day off.
