    Why I’m Quitting Buy-to-let Property Market
    May 22 2025
    The latest episode of the Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast he explores the truth behind the buy-to-let market and exactly why he is getting out of buy-to-let after 30 years. Please like and subscribe - https://www.youtube.com/@charleskellymoneytipspodca9121 Brief history of the buy to Let market Watch video - https://youtu.be/Vy6NTf38uR8 My story of finding a rental property before BTL and pre-ASTs - It was worse than now. No council house building since the 1970s and the introduction of right to buyThe BTL model has worked well since the 1990’s.Properties were relatively cheapReturns were good, even with higher mortgage ratesWith higher interest rates so you could just about break-even, but enjoy fast capital growth Now the government thinks the pendulum swung too far in favour of landlords. Tenants are unhappy about high rents and insecurity. But is that the fault of landlords or a symptom of 50 years of short-term thinking government policy?The buy-to-let boom has led to a massive transfer of wealth into property, as well as the banks, and it seems the ‘powers that be’ want to apply the brakes with legislation and taxes, We are now living in a new socialist regime after 30 years of relatively business friendly government, which includes the Blair labour government. My personal experience30 years dealing with tenants - nothing against tenants, I just haven’t got the patience for it anymore!New threats from various BPU’s (business prevention units)Lack of social housing being built for 50 yearsMass immigration from all governments since the Blair years leading to an unprecedented population explosion Swinging from unrestrictive to tighter lendingPlanning hold-ups leading to housing shortageAnti-landlord policy starting with Conservative Chancellor George Osbourne and his Section 24 landlord taxRenters rights bill, which was born out of a conservative policyEnd of section 21 no fault of evictions and a ban on so-called “back door” evictionsOpen end of tenancies – how is that going to work in practice?New minimum housing standards and more red tape - many councils and large housing associations would fail these standards but only private landlords will be hitBan on Advanced rent payments, often used where tenants fail referencing or are from overseas. Even more rights for tenants Less security for property ownersBan “discrimination” Right to request adaptation of Properties in the case of disabilitiesRestrictions on rent increasesRent repayment ordersMore powers for local councils to sanction landlordsNew digital Landlord database, but no rouge tenant database County court backlogs, meaning that enforced evictions will take up to a year Renters rights was mentioned in parliament recently during PM’s questions after a labour MP raised the point that tenants were being priced out by landlords. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said that his new renter’s rights bill will help 11 million tenants. He said they will end no fault of action something which the Conservatives had failed to do. . Landlords could be obliged to take pets and tenants on benefits Over the past year, only 6.6% of room-offered ads on SpareRoom explicitly welcomed pets, while a striking 93.4% did not. One third of people in the UK have pets and 29% own a cat. On a Spare room survey 93% of landlords display that they are unwilling to accept pets, this will be banned under the future law. If a tenant wants to keep a pet at home, landlords will not be able to unreasonably withhold their consent. If a tenant feels you’ve made an unfair decision they can challenge it by taking their complaint to the Private Rented Sector Ombudsman or even to court. Falling returns Soaring house prices means it’s difficult to get a positive yield on straightforward buy-to-let propertyLandlords have turned to HMO strategies, but local authorities are introducing more article 4 areas.The yields on properties in London and the Southeast have been driven down by high prices. Landlords are increasingly buying in the Midlands and the north of England, but who wants to drive 300 miles to find and manage property? Many have adapted and move into furnished Holiday lettings in order to avoid section 24 and the end of section 21 notices, but now the BPU are heading them off at the pass! Tax changes abolishing the advantages of furnished holiday Lettings , brought in by Jeremy “Hunt” the left leaning former Chancellor under the last ‘high tax’ conservative government. I know some landlord I’ve spoken to are happy to stay in the market and feel that they can adapt to the new laws. That’s fine there’s still a profit (sorry if that’s a dirty word, but without profit there is no service) to be made and in a long-term it’s still a good investment, but not for me and thousands of other landlords anymore. As the TV Dragons say, I’m out! Am I quitting property altogether? No! Property is still a good long-term ...

  • Farage Slams HMOs: "Blaming Landlord for Housing Illegal Migrants and Wrecking Communities"

    Farage Slams HMOs: "Blaming Landlord for Housing Illegal Migrants and Wrecking Communities"
    May 8 2025

    Nigel Farage has once again ignited controversy, this time turning his sights on the UK’s House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) sector. Speaking out this week at a Reform press conference in Dover, Farage claimed that HMOs are not only damaging communities but are increasingly being used to house illegal migrants and asylum seekers, often at the taxpayer’s expense.

    Watch video - https://youtu.be/NKaPZj-APgw

    Farage, who could become the next UK Prime Minister according to the polls and recent local election results, argued that the rapid growth of HMOs—particularly in urban areas—is "a symptom of a failed immigration and housing policy." He criticised how private landlords and government contracts are turning residential streets into overcrowded multi-let properties, undermining local cohesion and public services.

    While HMOs can be a profitable property strategy, especially for landlords seeking higher yields, they’ve become controversial. Local residents often complain about noise, rubbish, overcrowding, parking and falling property values. Councils have responded with Article 4 directions and tougher licensing schemes.

    Is this another nail in the coffin for buy-to-let property investment, and further reasons for landlords to get out of the UK property market?

    In recent years, landlords have had to contend with:

    • Section 24 landlord tax – watch accountant explain tax and solutions - https://youtu.be/aMuGs_ek17s
    • Increased tax and
    • Increased red tape and regulation.

    Now, landlords are facing Labour’s Renter’s Rights Bill and the end to Sec 21 ‘no fault evictions’. See full episode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx1HXgVW1bM&t=400s

    The latest episode of the Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast explores the truth behind these claims, what it means for property investors, and the future of HMO investments in the UK. Please like and subscribe - https://www.youtube.com/@charleskellymoneytipspodca9121

    In the next Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast episode, I will tell you why I’m getting out of buy-to-let property after 30 years!

  • US Stock Markets Fall 25% - Will Trump Crash the Stock Market?

    US Stock Markets Fall 25% - Will Trump Crash the Stock Market?
    Apr 24 2025

    Donald Trump’s return to the spotlight and renewed talk of tariffs and trade wars has investors wondering: Will this trigger a stock market crash in 2025? As Trump vows to impose tougher tariffs on China and other countries, fears of rising inflation, global trade tensions, and supply chain disruptions are resurfacing.

    Historically, Trump’s tariff policies had mixed effects. Some U.S. industries benefited, but overall market volatility increased. The stock market reacted to trade war headlines with sharp dips and recoveries. If a new Trump trade war begins, sectors like tech, automotive, and manufacturing could feel the pinch first, while defensive stocks and commodities may perform better.

    Investors are asking: Should I sell now? Will Trump crash the stock market again? While no one can predict with certainty, smart investors diversify and prepare for volatility. Watch how China, the EU, and the Fed respond.

  • Trump’s Trade War Will Make Us All Worse Off As Stocks Tumble

    Trump’s Trade War Will Make Us All Worse Off As Stocks Tumble
    Apr 17 2025

    US Tariffs could lead to a trade war and a global economic slowdown, according to the OECD.

    China, Mexico, Canada and the EU have said they will be imposing reciprocal tariffs on America.

    The UK has yet to react to a “reciprocal” 10% Tariff announced by Donald Trump today in the White House Rose Garden. Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer said a trade war is in nobody’s interest.

    Stock markets have been falling around the world putting millions of people’s savings and pension pots at risk of a correction or even a crash.

    The S&P 500 had its worse quarter since 2022.

  • Buy-to-Let UK Property Companies Soar After Section 24 Tax on Landlords

    Buy-to-Let UK Property Companies Soar After Section 24 Tax on Landlords
    Apr 3 2025

    The number of UK buy-to-let property companies listed at Companies House has soared to record levels since George Osbourne introduced his ‘Section 24’ tax bombshell on landlords.

    If you are stuck in the Section 24 tax trap contact me at charles@charleskelly.net to arrange a free consultation with a property tax specialist.

    There are now over 400,000 limited property companies registered, more than any other businesses and four times as many as fast food firms. Since 2016 there has been a fourfold rise in incorporated buy-to-let businesses, much of which is due to George Osbourne’s ‘Section 24’ tax hike on landlords.

    The change in the law meant that buy-to-let landlords with properties held in their own names could no longer offset mortgage interest against their rent (pre-profit gross income).

    Almost 700,000 properties are now held in limited companies, rather than in individual names, which has become the standard method used to buy investment property in the UK.
