6/ Final Takeaway for Bath Landlords 📈. While BTL investments may look daunting due to new taxes and legislation, the market fundamentals in Bath still hold promise. Demand for quality rentals will stay strong for adaptable landlords willing to evolve with the changes.

5/ Adapt to Succeed 💼 Here’s how:. - Diversify: Build a varied portfolio to spread risk. - Reduce Arrears: Use letting agents. Research shows this lowers the chances of arrears by 272%!. - Rent Protection: With Section 21 gone, insurance is a smart move against long tenancies.

4/ Bath’s Market Resilience 💪🏡. Demand is strong! Avg rent in Bath is up to £1,759 PCM in 2024—a 29% jump since 2019. Rental supply has decreased by 41.7%. For the average Bath landlord, the extra 2% SDLT on a £345,400 property = an additional £6,908. Is it manageable?.

3/ The Renters’ Rights Act 📜. With Section 21 evictions set to be abolished, tenants will have more security, while landlords will face higher property management demands. More transparency and stricter property standards are coming, and adapting will be essential. Thoughts? 🤔.

2/ Tax Changes & Investor Concerns 💸. Raising SDLT targets to cool the housing market by helping first-time buyers—but landlords are worried about shrinking profit margins. On the bright side, capital gains tax rates remain low, providing some relief. But will it last?.

1/ Buy-to-Let Challenges Ahead 🏘️📉. With the chancellor’s announcement to raise Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) from 3% to 5% for landlords, things look tough for BTL investors. Combined with the Renter’s Rights Act, what does this mean for Bath landlords? Let’s break it down. 🔽.
