Attleborough Landlords - Important Update on Tenant Fees (1 min.Read)

A 1 minute read to help landlords get things right.

It’s worth noting that the law has just changed on this. A year ago, the English Government introduced a ban on tenant fees on all new tenancies.
As part of this legislation, a one-year transition period covering pre-existing tenancies was granted.
This period has now finished meaning that tenant fees – regardless of when the contract was signed – cannot be charged.
Fees that fall into this category include charges for renewing a tenancy agreement, guarantor requests or credit checks.
 If you have a tenancy agreement that pre-dates June 2019, contact us for advice to ensure you’re doing the right thing.
Breach the law, and you face a £5,000 fine for a first offence. Get caught again within five years, and it’s a criminal offence and an unlimited fine.
We are all about keeping our landlords on the right side of the regulatory fence, so if you have any questions whatsoever get in touch with us today.

The data challenges the doom narrative and shows that, while deposits are tough, buying a first home is still possible.

With the feared £500,000 property tax dropped and a targeted Mansion Tax on £2m-plus properties introduced, I explore the likely impact on local homeowners, landlords, and tenants, separating headlines from reality.

With plans announced to raise the council tax surcharge on higher-value homes, this snapshot looks at how many £2m-plus properties have actually sold across the UK this year. The data shows a highly concentrated market, dominated by London, and reveals just how small this sector is nationally despite the noise around a “mansion tax.”
