Older Private Renters Face Widening Housing Benefit Shortfalls

Almost seven in ten pension-age private renters receiving Housing Benefit calculated under Local Housing Allowance rules were receiving less than their rent in March 2026, according to new analysis from Independent Age.

A benefit shortfall does not necessarily mean that a tenant is in arrears. However, it can force older renters to use pension income or savings—and, in some cases, reduce spending on heating, food and other essentials—to meet their housing costs.

Our latest article examines why a rent increase may not produce additional support, what the widening affordability gap could mean for landlords and tenants, and why Independent Age’s call for higher Local Housing Allowance rates remains a policy demand rather than a confirmed change.

Landlord insurance myths can leave important risks misunderstood and properties inadequately protected.

Home insurance is not automatically suitable for a rental property. Tenant damage is not always covered, empty properties can be subject to different conditions, rebuilding cost is not the same as market value, and loss of rent is not covered in every situation. Insurance also does not replace routine maintenance, while automatic renewal does not guarantee that a policy remains appropriate.

Before renewing, contact NetRent so we can understand your property and requirements before introducing you to Clear Insurance Management to consider the available options.

Council Tax liability can change when a tenancy starts, ends, a property becomes empty or the occupation changes to an HMO.

Our latest Landlord Legal Update explains who normally pays during a conventional tenancy, when liability can move back to the landlord, why HMO occupation is treated differently and why the tenancy agreement does not override the statutory rules.

Good records around tenancy end dates, void periods and occupancy changes can prevent unnecessary disputes and unexpected bills.

Buying your first rental property through a limited company requires more preparation than adding a company name to a standard buy-to-let application.

The lender may assess the company, directors, shareholders, deposit, expected rent and the individuals providing personal guarantees.

Our latest article explains how to prepare:

The company structure and Companies House record
Director, shareholder and ownership information
A clear deposit and source-of-funds trail
Company and personal documents
The rental stress calculation
Personal guarantees
Existing portfolio information
The complete purchase cost

Tax and legal advice should be obtained before deciding that company ownership is the right structure.

A Decision in Principle can help establish a realistic property budget and demonstrate that a buyer has considered their mortgage requirements.

However, it is not a mortgage offer.

The lender may still need to verify income, expenditure, credit commitments and the source of the deposit. The chosen property must also satisfy its valuation and lending criteria before a formal mortgage offer can be issued.

Our latest article explains:

What a Decision in Principle can indicate
What remains unverified
How credit searches may differ
Why the borrowing figure can change
Why it does not reserve a mortgage rate
What happens during the full application

Rental Voids Near Four Weeks Even as Tenant Demand Rises

Average gaps between tenancies approached four weeks in August, despite letting agents recording a sharp increase in prospective tenant registrations.

Strong demand does not always produce uninterrupted rental income. Repairs, moving dates, affordability and a mismatch between applicants and available properties can all affect how quickly a new tenancy begins.

Our latest article examines why a busy applicant list and an empty property can coexist—and shows how four weeks without rent can significantly reduce a landlord’s annual income.

20/10/2026

Extensions, conversions and substantial improvements can change far more than the appearance of a rental property. They may also increase its rebuilding cost and affect the information your insurer needs.

If your buildings sum insured still reflects the property before the work was completed, it may no longer be adequate. Contact NetRent before renewal—or before major work begins—so we can understand the changes and introduce you to Clear Insurance Management to consider the available insurance options.

Since Section 21 ended, landlords in England who genuinely need a property back for themselves or a qualifying family member must use the correct possession route.

Our latest Landlord Legal Update explains how Ground 1 works, who can qualify as a family member, the 12-month protected period, the notice requirements and why landlords need evidence showing that the intention to occupy is genuine.

It also looks at the restrictions on re-letting after possession and why Ground 1 should never be used as a shortcut where another possession reason is the real issue.
