As the saying goes: one step forward, two steps back. Just as we thought we were getting out of the danger zone, this week’s shot to the jugular kicked off with the resurfacing of videos referencing Prime Minister Keir Starmer claiming that landlords “do not qualify as working people.” It was the scandal of last October, and as Labour’s rumoured tax plans were announced, the past reared its ugly head with the simple truth that: landlords are in trouble.

It’s easy to look at all the recent news and think, “look guys, we’ve had enough of this, it’s not that bad,” but there’s only so much we can warn landlords before they have to face the stark reality themselves. Things just aren’t getting better. And if you thought we’d hit the limit for the month, the landscape looks set to shift to even tougher conditions. It’s evident that Landlords who hesitate now may find themselves caught in a perfect storm of regulatory and fiscal pressures.

The warning signs couldn’t be clearer. Recent revelations suggest the Labour government is gearing up for a significant tax raid on property investors, with Capital Gains Tax firmly in their sights. This isn’t just speculation, it’s the logical next step for a government looking to raise revenue while aligning with their housing policy objectives.

The window of opportunity before these tax changes materialise is narrowing rapidly.

Industry experts are now sounding the alarm that Labour’s manifesto commitment to “review property taxation” translates to one thing: higher costs for landlords. With potential Capital Gains Tax increases from the current 24% to as high as 39%, or even aligned with income tax rates of up to 45%, the financial implications are not just worrying, they’re substantial.

It also comes at a time when the Renters’ Rights Bill looms around the corner, ready to deliver a final blow. But there’s a way out. For those with multiple properties, acting before these changes could preserve tens or even hundreds of thousands in hard-earned equity, and that decision is exactly what savvy landlords are taking right now.

Over the last few weeks we’ve consistently seen the number of landlords contacting us to sell exponentially increase. There’s good reason. With over 30,000 buyers on our private database waiting to buy, we’ve been building a machine to help landlords get out whilst they can for precisely this moment.

Through a mixture of marketing via an online auction, access to private buying funds, the best local agents and first time buyers who get text messages every time we list a property, we’re able to generate a bidding war that’s driving prices up. During this time every single part of your sale is managed, from viewings to video tours to tenant negotiations, evictions and even in some cases paying for repairs, we take the entire job off your hands so you can sit back and relax from the moment you call us.

It’s clear that right now there’s a window to sell for the highest price you can, and get out before rising costs take us off the map, and at Landlord Sales Agency we’re primed to do exactly that.

For the entire process from start to finish, you can expect to sell your properties for a competitive 85% market value. A huge bang for your buck when all you have to do is pick up the phone. 85% in this current market is far higher than 85% in a crashed market.

It’s why landlords are flooding to us every day. They’ve had enough, they’re more than happy with the price we get them for the service we provide, and they’re ready to invest elsewhere.

Full transparency, no nonsense, cash in the bank and an end to this relentless war on landlords.

So get in touch using the form below. We’re here to help, and we’re ready to act fast to ensure you make it before the window closes.
