What planning permission changes does the Short-term Lets Bill introduce for new UK rental property acquisitions?
Quick Answer
The UK's Renters' Rights Bill, expected in 2025, focuses on abolishing Section 21, not introducing planning permission changes for new rental acquisitions. Any property conversions from residential to short-term lets may still require local planning consent, dependent on individual council policies.
About This Topic
The Renters' Rights Bill abolishes Section 21 but doesn't change planning for new rentals. Local councils dictate short-term let planning, with premiums up to 100% on second homes from April 2025.
