“One in five landlords are losing thousands of pounds after taking over properties without proper knowledge of the rental sector, new research has found.
It comes as separate data from the UK’s rental market found those in properties owned by private landlords have faced the highest rent rises since records began seven years ago.
Rents increased by 4% last year as landlords looked to pass on the costs of higher mortgage rates, with a quarter of tenants surveyed in December saying their rent had risen in the past six months.
Some 20% of landlords become one without the right knowledge – with that rate rising to 32% in the North East, according to Cornerstone Tax.
Male landlords are more likely to struggle, with 25% of men losing money in buy-to-let investments compared to 14% of women.
Some 24% of landlords say their biggest mental health strain is managing their tenants. Again, this is higher in men (30%) compared to 17% of women landlords.
The much-debated Renters Reform Bill would give new rights to tenants.”
