How will the new union activist group's 'war on landlords' in 2026 impact buy-to-let regulations and profitability?
Quick Answer
Future activist campaigns are speculative. Current regulations with definite impact on profitability include increased SDLT (5% surcharge), higher CGT (up to 24%), non-deductible mortgage interest, and potential for 100% Council Tax premiums on second/empty homes, all increasing landlord costs.
