Is It Over for Buy to Let Landlords? (Renting Has Changed!)

Video Description

Is it game over for buy-to-let? Since 2016 the rules have flipped: Section 24, the extra 3–5% stamp duty, higher compliance, 5%+ finance costs, and a rental system rewritten under the new Renters’ Rights Act. Meanwhile, small landlords are exiting, rents are still rising, and corporate build-to-rent giants are stepping in. In this video I break down: • The five structural shifts that killed the old buy-to-let model • What the Renters’ Rights Act actually changes (Section 21, Section 8, rolling tenancies, rent reviews, standards) • Why rents keep rising even as landlords sell • The new maths (Section 24 vs limited companies), yield over hype, and how pros still make it work I’ve been involved in thousands of UK transactions across sales, purchases and rentals. This isn’t theory—it’s what I’m seeing in real deals every week.
