Budget Update: What Today’s Announcement Means for Landlords — And How We Can Help You Stay Ahead

Today’s Budget brings more financial pressure for landlords, with the OBR warning these measures will squeeze returns and push rents higher across the sector.

What’s changing:
Income tax on property income will rise by 2% from April 2027
High Value Council Tax Surcharge from 2028 for properties over £2m
Added on top of existing increases to Stamp Duty and changes to Mortgage Interest Relief
The OBR has made it clear: landlord costs are rising, supply will fall, and those without a plan will feel the impact the most.
As a Lettings Manager, my priority is to help landlords protect their income and keep their properties performing.

Here’s how we can support you through these changes:
Accurate rental valuations to ensure your property is earning what it should
Tenant retention strategies to minimise void periods and lost income
Portfolio advice to help you stay compliant and cost-efficient
Proactive management that keeps maintenance costs under control
Market insights so you can make informed decisions in a changing landscape
