Episode 47: The Budget Unpacked

In this episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords presenters NRLA CEO Ben Beadle (@BeadleBen) and Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_)  take a look at the Autumn budget and its impact on landlords and their businesses.

Ben and Richard are joined by Sheena Parker, of St James’s Place who will discuss the impact of announcements including the increase of the stamp duty surcharge on additional homes from 3% to 5%, and what we can expect to see happen in the sector as a result.

With temperatures plummeting this month, NRLA compliance specialist Catherine Behdad looks at the calls we have been receiving to the Landlord Support Team.

And later in the show we are joined by Cara Pacitti from the Resolution Foundation, along with landlord Vikki Baptie, who specialises in housing low income households.

They will be talking about the Government’s decision to once more freeze Local Housing Allowance rates, and the impact this will have on those in receipt of benefits - and the landlords who house them.
