Do you think higher taxes are pushing landlords out of the market? 🤔

CGT receipts are now up 244% compared to 2016, while tax allowances have been slashed from £12k to £3k.

More landlords selling = fewer rental properties available.

That may mean:
📈 Higher rents
📉 Less choice for tenants
🏘 Increased pressure on councils

Interesting times ahead for the UK property market.

What’s your view on where things go next?

🚨 Rent controls could be coming… and the pressure is growing.

Unions and renter groups are now lobbying Rachel Reeves to step in as rents continue rising across the UK.

London rents:
⬆️ +1.5% in April
⬆️ +1.6% the following month

And this is exactly what many warned would happen…

➡️ Landlords leave the market
➡️ Rental supply shrinks
➡️ Competition increases
➡️ Rents rise even faster

The uncomfortable truth?

You can’t reduce supply and expect prices to fall.

The big question now is:
👉 Will England follow Scotland with rent controls?

Because history suggests that when governments interfere too heavily in the rental market…
it often creates even bigger problems long term.

Interesting times ahead for landlords, tenants, and investors alike.

Two Londoners taking on Sunderland 🐻🏠⚽

Me and Paddington have officially swapped the big smoke for the North East.

His new home is The Bridges Shopping Centre, right in the heart of Sunderland 😅

Paddington made the trip north for marmalade sandwiches…
I made the trip for property opportunities 👀

While investors spend hours travelling up here, I’m already on the ground sourcing opportunities across Sunderland and the North East.

Safe to say Paddington approves of the move 👌

If you’re based down south but want to invest up north without the constant travelling, drop me a

👁️ “Eye aye… Sunderland’s getting a brand new eye hospital and I still can’t see where its all worth it .” 😅

With the new Sunderland Eye Infirmary replacement opening soon in the city centre, Sunderland’s changing fast.

But for a lot of landlords, the constant changes, rising costs, regulations, and upkeep are becoming hard to ignore.

If you’ve been thinking:
“Maybe now’s the time to cash out…” 💭🏡

A slower property market can actually HELP beginner investors.

Why?

Because when competition cools down:
✅ Sellers become more realistic
✅ Negotiation improves
✅ Investors have more choice
✅ Less emotional bidding wars

The best investors don’t just buy in booming markets.

They buy strategically.

And with parts of the North East still offering strong ROI potential, many beginners are realising they can get started sooner than they thought.

You don’t need a £500k budget to build a portfolio.

If this is what they meant when I was told there’s money in property… I’m too late 😂🔐

Didn’t manage to get this property, but it’s still a reminder that property has always been one of the best stores of wealth.

That’s probably why they say “safe as houses” 😅

Feels like being a landlord is becoming more admin than investment these days 😅

New database registrations
More compliance checks
More updates to file
More fines for getting things wrong

I can see why some landlords are deciding now’s the time to sell.

There are 3 things happening in the rental market right now:

Landlords are exiting → supply is shrinking
Tenant demand is rising → competition increasing
Rents are climbing → yields improving

And yet…

👉 77% of landlords are still worried about interest rates
👉 81% expect higher costs

So why are many still confident?

Because they understand the bigger picture.

Short-term pressure.
Long-term upside.

The real risk right now isn’t regulation…

It’s being unprepared.

Smart investors aren’t guessing — they’re positioning.
