Section 21 eviction notices have been served on 150 residents on a block of flats in Deptford, South London, weeks before Christmas.

A Section 21 is a legal method for the landlord to require a tenant to leave a rental property without the need to provide a reason for "no-fault" eviction. A tenant can challenge it and stay in the property until physically evicted, but they may incur court costs.

Even with a Section 21 notice, it can take landlords 6 to 12 months to evict a tenant who refuses to move out – often under advice for their local council’s housing or “homeless prevention” department.

The owners of the property, the Aitch Group said a Section 21 notice had been issued to tenants at the Vive Living development to "facilitate the refurbishment of the building".

"The tenants have been given two months' notice, as a minimum, in accordance with their tenancy agreements.".

The eviction notices may have been prompted by Labour’s Renter’s Rights Bill, currently going through Parliament, which will abolish Section 21 “no fault” evictions.

Many landlords are quitting the buy-to-let property market or switching to other rental models, such as AIRBNB serviced accommodation or leasing to local authorities and housing associations.

How will Labour’s new Renters Rights Bill 2024 affect buy-to-let landlords?

The Labour Party’s Renters' Rights Bill 2024 is poised to bring significant changes to the UK’s rental market, impacting both tenants and buy-to-let landlords. Understanding these changes is crucial for landlords to navigate the evolving landscape effectively.

Raising Angel Finance and Venture Capital for Your UK Startup

Starting and growing a business often requires substantial funding. For UK entrepreneurs, angel finance and venture capital (VC) are two of the most popular options for scaling a startup. In this episode of the Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast, we break down these funding sources and share how you can access them.

What is Angel Finance?
Angel investors are high-net-worth individuals who provide funding for startups, typically in exchange for equity. They often invest at earlier stages than VC firms and may also offer mentorship and business connections. Platforms like Seedrs or Angel Investment Network can connect you with UK-based angel investors.

What is Venture Capital?
VC firms provide larger amounts of funding to businesses with high growth potential. They look for startups that have already proven some traction and scalability. VCs like Index Ventures and LocalGlobe are popular choices in the UK.

How to Attract Angel Investors and VCs:

1. Craft a Winning Business Plan: Clearly outline your market opportunity, growth potential, and financial projections.

2. Build a Strong Network: Attend pitch events, startup accelerators, and industry conferences to meet investors.

3. Show Traction: Highlight existing sales, user growth, or partnerships that prove your concept is working.

4. Prepare for Due Diligence: Be transparent and organized when presenting financials and business operations.

While both angel finance and VC can accelerate your growth, they come with trade-offs like equity sharing. Choose the right path for your business goals.

Is Higher Inflation Good or Bad News for Landlords?

Inflation is a hot topic in today’s economy, and as a landlord, you might wonder whether it works in your favour or against you. In the latest episode of the Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast, we explore how rising inflation impacts landlords and what you can do to stay ahead.

The Good News: For landlords with fixed-rate mortgages, inflation can actually be beneficial. As inflation rises, the real value of your debt decreases. This means that over time, you’re effectively paying back your mortgage with “cheaper” money. Additionally, in an inflationary environment, property values and rental income often rise, helping you build equity faster and increase your cash flow.

The Challenges: On the flip side, higher inflation can also mean rising costs. Maintenance, repairs, and property management fees are likely to increase, eating into your profits. For landlords with variable-rate mortgages, rising interest rates (often used to combat inflation) can significantly increase monthly payments, impacting your bottom line.

What Should Landlords Do?

• Lock in a Fixed-Rate Mortgage: Protect yourself from rising interest rates.

• Increase Rents Strategically: Ensure your rental income keeps pace with inflation while maintaining good tenant relationships.

• Invest in Inflation-Resilient Areas: Look for properties in high-demand locations where rent growth outpaces inflation.

Inflation can be both a friend and a foe for landlords. The key is to plan wisely and adapt to economic changes. For more property insights, tune in to the Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast on YouTube!
