Update: 2025-07-01

Description

In this episode of the Property Investors Podcast, Russell and Anna Leeds discuss the various government policies and regulations that are increasingly pushing small landlords out of the property market, seemingly paving the way for big banks and corporations to take over. They delve into the key legislations such as Section 24, increasing stamp duty surcharges, stricter stress tests for buy-to-let mortgages, and EPC regulations. They also explore the broader implications for both landlords and tenants, and provide guidance on how small landlords can navigate these challenges.
