Received the following invite for a webinar from North Tyneside Council if anyone wants to attend. North Tyneside Council Private Residential Sector Landlord Forum – Renter Rights Act 2025 Wednesday 22nd April 2026 - 7:00 pm to 08:30 pm - Online Event We are reaching out to you as we believe that you may be a landlord operating rental property within North Tyneside. North Tyneside Council recognises that private sector landlords such as yourself deliver a substantial contribution to the wellbeing of the borough by providing good quality and much needed homes to the residents of North Tyneside. The Council is also mindful that the private rented sector is currently facing significant challenges, such as the Renters’ Rights Bill and the impact of the current financial climate upon landlords and their tenants. The private rented sector is now entering a period of regulatory change not seen in a generation. The Renters’ Rights Act received Royal Assent on 27 October 2025, bringing significant changes to the private rented sector and as a landlord, understanding these changes now, will help you prepare for a smooth transition and avoid penalties, whilst maintaining strong tenant relationships and sustain tenancies. To help landlords prepare for the Renters Rights Act, the Council is hosting an on-line Landlord Forum on the evening of Wednesday 22nd April 2026, from 7:00 to 08:30 pm. We are hoping that the event will help landlords understand their responsibilities under the Act and we will also outline the assistance the Council can offer to landlords, to help them comply with the Act, including information on our free ‘Renters Rights Tenancy and Property’ compliance checks. We will also discuss our free Landlord Accreditation scheme.

Remember if you are thinking of selling or have rent arrears you only have until the 30th to serve a S21 notice!! Then you are governed by the RRA rules!! Be warned!!

Hi, I watched a webinar today presented by Richard Eyre and Michelle Cairns of the Property Entreprenure Summit, about rent arrears using the Rent Arrears Framework procedure. They recommended TACO ( Tenant arrears collection service) which provides a start to finish service from initial mediation to a CCJ. Annual fee is normally £1999 for unlimited arrears cases ( or £799 for individual cases) reduced to £240 / year with a discount code , for attending the webinar. Has anyone heard or used TACO, as nothing is coming up on Trustpilot? I'm assuming it's a good company as the above speakers of the webinar seem very nice , ethical people . It seems a lot cheaper than going through a solicitor which costs about £1500 inc court fees.

Hope all is well! I have posted the below which shares a snapshot of the current bridging and BTL term rate landscape, including a table of example rates and products currently available to property investors. This is something I’m asked about every single day, so I’ve pulled together a concise market view. I’ve also included some thoughts on how lenders have been reacting to the recent Middle East crisis, including the noticeable trend of product withdrawals and rate increases across several institutions. If you’re exploring finance or refinancing options and want clarity on what’s achievable, feel free to reach out. I work with over 250 lenders, so there’s usually a solution even in a shifting market https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sanjaymajithia_propertyinvestment-bridgingfinance-buytolet-activity-7439249111339577346-c-On?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAKQdQBX3uEqesUwamlbdpLMvMXwWbgaSA
