I need the government and rent activists to be compassionate to me, the landlord. We need them to rethink the section 24 tax regime, the only business sector where we are forced to pay tax on non existent income as we can’t offset our mortgage interest . Seriously, my tax bill was unpleasant. It will be higher this year too and I am stressed about paying it. It will cost me many thousands to restructure myself to help offset these extra costs We are attacked at every corner with extra regulations, the councils are loving the selective license income and then there are enormous price increases for raw materials and my repairs bills are just crazy I’m always compassionate to my tenants but I will have to put up my rents as I have no choice. I must have my own self compassion as I am a business and shouldn’t be forced to sell or refinance my portfolio to cover my costs

Negative talk never helps and I’m surprised you have written this but I suppose it keeps us reading this headline grabbing article. I’ve very few vacancies in my portfolio and had nearly 100 enquiries on one unit. Even Brexit hasn’t deterred investors and the economy isn’t doing that badly. Yes commercial is a bit down but it’s to do with the change of how we do our business globally and the general shrinking of the high street. We are all adapting. I think the UK will be just fine. You should look at inward investment in tech and science as that is booming - There still aren’t enough homes being built so yes we are attacked at all angles by silly policy changes and I hope that us battered landlords can keep the fight up to get our regs and fiscal policy adapted or reversed. 2 million landlords and no one has been able to get the S24 rule modified. Why don’t you help us with that? LT
