New episode: UK rental property has long been seen as a reliable source of income and a valuable asset for retirement. But following tax changes, new regulations and rising costs, a new question emerges: does property still deliver the rewards it once did?

  • The UK’s new Renters’ Rights Act has attracted a lot of attention. How will changes such as the end of Section 21 evictions and rolling tenancies affect landlords in practice?
  • Landlords are also facing more compliance requirements. What impact could measures such as Making Tax Digital and Energy Performance upgrades have?
  • Many buy-to-let owners focus on rental income and long-term house price growth, but what are some of the hidden costs that can reduce overall returns?
  • For British expatriates in Spain, are there additional tax and financial planning considerations when holding UK property?
