Investing, Incorporating or Quitting? Landlord survey needs you!

The University of Dundee and letting agents’ body Propertymark want to understand more about the future plans of landlords. 

This is happening via a survey on whether landlords will retain their property investments, increase investment or withdraw from the sector and why.

All respondents will be offered the opportunity to be entered into a prize draw to win one of five £100 Amazon vouchers.

A statement from the university says: “With recent changes, including the tenant fee ban, ‘section 24’ tax rules, minimum energy efficiency standards, changes to capital gains tax rules, higher rates on stamp duty, an eviction ban during Covid, patchy funding for energy efficiency improvements, and upcoming renters’ reform, landlords have been given many reasons to consider their continued investment in the Private Rented Sector. 

“At the same time, pressure on rents has increased incomes and house price growth has driven strong capital returns.”

If you want to participate in the survey, which closes at the end of August, this Participant Information Sheet contains all relevant information about the survey for survey respondents.

    But no link to the survey?

  • icon

    What's the point in promoting a survey but not providing any information on how to access it?

  • icon

    Pointless article without a link.
    Worst. Promotion. Ever.

  • icon

    Where's the link? Probably pointless anyway.... Who's going to listen to a landlords point of view?

  • icon

    Look on the bright side - if you can actually find the survey, then you may stand quite a good chance of winning an Amazon voucher - only a very few people will find the survey

    I will email dborbely001@dundee.ac.uk who is the prof doing this at Dundee university and ask him for a link

    You definitely deserve an Amazon voucher Catherine!

    @Ellie Edwards - currently doing a refurb so an Amazon voucher would come in very handy 😂

    I hope that they send you one for your initiative.

    Morning all
    So Daniel Borbely at Dundee has responded
    He advised that they are mostly operating around London and some Local Authorities may therefore be missed but if so leave the last question that refers to this blank

    II have tried every single way of putting the link on here but the forum seems determined not to let me. tbh I am at a loss how I can send this information to you
    I will try the following - use the usual HTT etc
    I can tell you that the link is for University of Durham if you shorten that it is UOD
    do not leave a gap
    then put "school of business" then the usual full stop demarker and then the word qualtrics and another demarker and then the word commercial shortened to the first three letters

    Following that is a forward oblique and the word jfe
    then another forward oblique and the word form and another forward oblique and the lettersSV
    Then you put an underscore and the following efHhuY9ZTdlYOii

    PS if anyone tries this and gets stuck let me know and I will supply further info - determined not to cave to the no links policy

    I am going to try it now Catherine.

     
    icon

    I did exactly as you said, Catherine, and the webpage that came up said

    "Survey not Found"
    "Sorry we were unable to find this survey"

    Something like this

    thanks John - honestly every time i tried it told me I could not add a link - thank you

    That works.

  • icon

    I managed to do the survey. I also contacted landlord today asking them to include the link.

  • icon

    Might be worth putting on Property Tribes and Property 118 forums as well

    It’s another fake Survey designed to exclude the majority of landlords we have a Business to run not time for messing about with your stupid difficult to do Surveys.

    icon

    YOu may well be right Michael - and in the past I hope you know that I agree with much of what you say....but the NRLA are doing us few favours - I look at any opportunity to get our points across as just that - an opportunity however small. It only took me a couple of minutes and I got to add comments about S21 and the effect it will have. Surely it is worth us all having a punt just to get our point across??

    If its a business school then it will be very obvious that it's a hostile environment to invest in and loss of tax relief makes it impossible to run it as a business. At the same time draconian fines will be imposed if you house illegal immigrants, but according to the BBC et al they are all migrants and asylum seekers.
