Some landlords struggling with ‘complex’ BTL legislation

By

Gregory Moulton

Posted in Buy to Let, Investing, Property News On April 30, 2018

New buy-to-let regulations are making it harder for landlords to keep up to speed with complex compliance responsibilities, as the government drives to improve standards in the private rented sector, according to a new survey.

There are now no fewer than 145 individual laws and more than 400 regulations to follow, which means that it is surprisingly easy for even the most well-meaning landlord to end up breaking the law.

A new survey by TheHouseShop has found that almost one in five landlords – 18.2% – now find it “impossible” to keep up with constant regulation changes, with a further 29.9% saying they find it “very difficult” and another 31.2% finding it “quite difficult”.

The study suggests that some landlords are being overwhelmed by the sheer volume and complexity of rules and regulations in the rental market.

In fact, compliance with law and legislation was listed as the most challenging aspect of managing a rental property by 63.4% of landlords surveyed.

Nick Marr, co-founder of TheHouseShop, commented: “It’s a really difficult environment that landlords are operating in at the moment. The government have undertaken a range of measures to try and drive up standards in the rental industry, and while this is by no means a bad thing, it does mean that landlords have increasingly complex and wide-ranging responsibilities to deal with.”

Our Team


After some terrible experiences with 2 other agents (one who basically told me a 1 bedroom flat wasn't worth their while and another who failed to communicate effectively between me & my buyer and didn't listen to instructions) working with Moulton Estates was beyond all my expectations. Gregory and his team were supportive, organised and totally professional. They did everything when they said they would, were in regular contact with my solicitor and followed up with all parties at every stage. Such great service and just what I needed after a fraught year on the property market. I wish I had gone to them first! Read more Read lessRachel GlynnMarch 31, 2022

Moulton Estates were extremely helpful during the sale of our apartment. Natalie was very proactive and enthusiastic and she supported us on each stage of the process. During the negotiation with the buyers or in case of any misunderstanding with the conveyancer, Natalie and Gregory provided us with all possible support. Overall, very professional, client-orientated and honest estate agency, which was an absolute pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend Moulton Estates highly enough!
