Landlords Brace for New Challenges as Selling Rates Rise
Recent whispers from Westminster suggest that landlords may soon face an additional 8% hit on rental income due to proposed National Insurance changes. This news comes at a time when the property market is already under pressure from rising costs and increased regulation. For landlords in South London, particularly in areas like Clapham and Brixton, this could feel like the final straw.
The past two years have seen landlords grappling with a barrage of challenges, including tax hikes, red tape, and stringent energy-efficiency requirements. Many are now considering exiting the market altogether. The anticipated rush of landlords looking to sell post-Autumn Budget could flood the market, potentially driving property prices down.
Selling now could be a strategic move. With the current market relatively stable, landlords can secure up to 90% of market value. Waiting for the market to shift could result in lower offers and longer selling times. The reality is that property values can change overnight, and the risk of being stuck with a lower price for years is real.
At Landlord Sales Agency, we specialize in helping landlords navigate these turbulent waters. Our team is dedicated to achieving the highest prices possible, often in less than 28 days. Whether your property has tenants or not, we handle every aspect of the sale, including relocating tenants and managing repairs to maximize value.
As a South London property expert, I see both risks and opportunities in this evolving landscape. If you're a landlord contemplating a sale, you're not alone. Many are reaching out for help, and it's crucial to act before the market shifts further.
