One in five UK landlords looking to sell next year – RLA

Home Office guidance on immigration checks (which was issued, withdrawn, and re-issued without change in the space of 24 hours) will lead to yet more confusion for landlords, says Carter Jonas’ Head…

Mark Prisk, the Housing Minister, has claimed that landlords' responsibilities for checking the immigration status of their tenants, as proposed in the Queen's Speech, will be a "light touch".

As of next week, landlords and letting agents in the UK will have to add detailed "right to rent" checks to their - already lengthy - to-do lists when granting new tenancy agreements.
