New Legislation and taxation putting pressure on landlords.
Landlords will see a lot of changes over the next 18 months both nationally and in the area we operate.
The Renters Rights Bill becomes come in to force in May. This increases notice periods needed to regain possession, bans section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions and increases regulation on rent increases amongst other measures
Make Tax Digital will start to kick in from this April for landlords turning over more than £50,000 a year and will come in to force for landlords with smaller incomes in 2027 and 2028.
The 2% increase on income tax for landlords from their rental income that was announced in the budget kicks in from April 2027.
Finally, Selective Licencing of landlords hits the majority of Great Yarmouth from 1st April 2026.

December Housing Market
It is no secret that December is the quietest month in the housing market.
Having said that it is a time of year where house sales are still being agreed, properties come to the market and viewings are taking place….but just in slightly lower numbers.
However, if you are putting off your moving plans until 2026 there are some things you can do in readiness!
If you are selling why not get your property valued so that you have got the information you need to be ready to list it for sale in 2026. We as a firm are slightly quieter on with sales valuations in December so have plenty of capacity to come and see you.
If you are looking at buying why not call us to register with us and talk us through what you are looking to buy next year. We can provide information on properties we have for sale, talk to you about market trends and also make sure you are set up with us so we can keep in contact you regarding new properties coming to market in 2026.
Our offices are fully open and ready to deal with you through December and we look forward to hearing from you if we can be of assistance.
