Quarterly Reports
NRLA quarterly reports
Each quarter the NRLA invites members to share with us their views and opinions on a range of topics, issues and Government policies which affect their ability to be a good landlord.
The results are published and build into a detailed picture of the views and opinions of landlords. These reports form the evidence base from which the NRLA makes the landlord case to both local and national Governments.
In Focus (2024 Qtr 1): Universal Credit, LHA & the 2024 Budget
Landlord confidence dipped in Qtr 1, ending a mini-run of confidence growth. This quarter the NRLA consultation looked at Universal Credit and landlord experience. Landlords share their views on the recent uplift in LHA and the impact it will have on supply in this segment of the rental market. Political change is in the air and landlords were asked about (i) The Budget and (ii) the issues which will determine where they will cast their vote.
In Focus (2023 Qtr 4): Adaptations & leaseholder issues
This quarterly consultation focuses on, firsty, adaptations. It looks at the apparent mismatch between demand and landlord awareness of opportunities to offer property to tenants who require adaptations. Secondly, leaseholding issues and landlord views on key elements of the leaseholder bill progressing through Parliament at the time of this research. Landlord confidence is also presented - has the PRS reached a turning point?
In Focus (2023 Qtr 3): Tax and taxation
The Quarter 3 In Focus consultation received responses from over 800 landlord members of the NRLA. It reflects on landlord views of tax issues such as potential reforms to Capital Gains Tax and Business Asset Rollover Relief. PLUS: What do landlords think of the prospect of a property portal? How confident are landlords in navigating the road to achieve any upward revisions to EPC ratings?
In Focus (2023 Qtr 2): Landlords, ASB & rent controls
Over 1,100 landlords participated in this consultation which focused on the prospect of regulatory change. How proposals will change the PRS in respect of anti-social behavour in England and rent controls in Wales. In England landlords can largely live with Section 21 reform IF new mechanisms give landlords confidence to continue. In Wales, rent controls would almost certainly mean more tenants facing annual rent increases.
In Focus (2023 Qtr 1): The PRS, property markets and the economy
This new look In Focus reports on the views and experiences of over 1,200 landlords across England & Wales. The consultation reflects on landlord confidence as well as taking a closer look at Universal Credit. The consultation also sets out the latest insights on a range of other topics including Buy-to-Let finance and the difficulties being faced by HMO landlords. .
