The revolving door at Number 10 has turned again.

With Andy Burnham now Prime Minister, landlords and property investors will understandably be asking what the change could mean for property taxation, regulation and future investment decisions.

Based on his previous statements, political record and early policy signals, five key areas are worth watching, including potential council tax and stamp duty reform, portfolio cash flow, capital gains tax, rental-sector standards and council house building.

However, nothing has changed yet. There are currently no confirmed new tax rules for landlords, so investors should avoid restructuring, selling or purchasing property based solely on political speculation.

The sensible approach is to stay informed, prepare for consultations and wait for detailed announcements. We will guide you through any significant property tax measures as they are confirmed.

Well, this should be a slightly different property networking night… ⚽️

Mark Barrett will be speaking at PPN Leamington Spa on Wednesday 15 July, and with England playing later that evening, the format is changing a little.

Guests can arrive from 6:00pm for networking and drinks, followed by Mark’s presentation, before the evening continues with the England match on the screens afterwards.

It’s certainly not the usual PPN format, but then again, how often do property networking and a World Cup night come together like this?

Property. Networking. Football.

Should be a good one.

That moment an HMRC letter lands on the doormat can be stressful.

But it does not automatically mean you have done something deliberately wrong.

For landlords, investors and property companies, HMRC may ask questions for all sorts of reasons - rental income, property sales, expense claims, SDLT, ownership splits, company-held property, poor records, or figures that simply do not seem to match.

The important thing is not to panic, but not to ignore it either.

Read the letter carefully, check what HMRC is actually asking for, gather the records, and avoid sending a rushed reply before you understand the issue.

A first response can shape the direction of the enquiry, so it is worth getting it right.

If you have received a letter from HMRC about a property tax matter, speak to Property Tax Advice before replying.

Heading to PPN Leamington Spa on Wednesday?

Mark Barrett will be arriving early at Leamington Golf & Country Club and will be in the bar from around 5:00pm before the main event starts.

So if you’re coming along and fancy a more relaxed chat before the room fills up, feel free to arrive early and say hello.

It’s a good chance to talk property, tax, investing, development, or just meet Mark before the evening gets underway.

📅 Wednesday 15 July 2026

See you there.

Ever bought a property thinking one thing, then the plan changed?

Maybe it was meant to be a rental, but after refurb costs, mortgage rates or market changes, selling started to make more sense.

Or maybe you bought something with a clear plan to do it up and sell, but ended up renting it for a while first.

From a tax point of view, those details matter.

HMRC may look at whether you were acting more like a property investor or a property developer. That can affect how profits are taxed, what records you need, and how the project should be structured.

It is not always black and white either. The original intention, the finance, the work carried out, the timescale and the evidence all help tell the story.

The simple lesson?

Keep good records from the start, especially if you are buying, refurbishing, renting or selling property.

And if you are unsure, get advice before you make the next move rather than trying to piece it together later.

Property Tax Advice can help you understand where you stand.

Mark Barrett will be speaking at PPN Leamington Spa next week.

It’s taking place at Leamington Golf & Country Club on Wednesday 15 July, with networking from 6:30pm and the event starting at 7:00pm.

Mark will be there as the headline speaker for an evening of property conversation, practical insight and networking with other investors.

The topic of the evening will be: “the one question you’ve always wanted to ask a specialist property accountant.”

So if you’re local to Leamington Spa, involved in property, or just looking to meet like-minded people in the room, it would be great to see you there.

Would you spot the difference?

A landlord is promised £1,500 a month.

The occupiers only pay £1,200 that month.

So who covers the £300 shortfall?

That is one of the simplest ways to understand why rent-to-rent and letting agency are not the same thing.

From the outside, they can look similar. Someone is managing the property, dealing with occupiers, collecting money and handling the day-to-day issues.

But the structure underneath can be completely different.

A letting agent usually acts for the landlord and earns a fee for providing services.

A rent-to-rent operator may take occupation rights from the owner, deal with occupiers directly and carry more of the commercial risk.

That difference can affect tax, VAT, accounting, insurance, licensing and wider compliance.

It is not just about what the agreement is called. It is about what is actually happening in practice.

Worth checking before you assume.
