Welcome to the July edition of the Landlords’ Barometer, where the trending topics for landlords have been as hot as our summer!

1. Landlord life with Boris at No. 10

Landlords react to the news that Boris Johnson is the new Prime Minister and speculate how he will address the challenges facing the housing market.

2. Could crashing out of the EU be good for the property market?

Over 60 responses to this important question.

3. Challenging a serious RICS down-valuation?

This Property Tribes member, based in London, had a huge two-bed, two-ensuite flat, valued by several local agents at £850,00-£900,000 for sale within the past year. However, the lenders’ surveyor valued it at £640,000-£675,000!

4. Is my BTL property worth keeping?

With tax changes, increasing legislation, and the likelihood that Section 21 will disappear from the private rented sector, many landlords are asking this question.

5. Should I sell the family home or turn it into a BTL?

In a similar vein to the above question, this landlord faces a dilemma and requires the assistance of the community to gain clarity on the best way forwards.

6. What are the highest cash flowing strategies and properties?

With market conditions as they are, this is a good question!
