Welcome to the September edition of the “Landlords Barometer” where I bring you the trending topics and news from the Property Tribes forum.
With the end of furlough on the horizon, the Government U-turn on the eviction ban, and rumours of major property tax hikes, I think it’s safe to say that landlords are facing a lot of challenges in the coming months.
Here are the most viewed topics of the past month:
