As a landlord or property investor, you must pay income tax on your rental property once you have deducted all day-to-day running expenses. If you are investing in property as a business, you also must pay Class 2 National Insurance.
Tax is also payable as Stamp Duty when you purchase a new property, and you must pay Capital Gains Tax when selling property.

Building a successful property portfolio is about much more than finding the right investment. Landlords and property investors face a wide range of decisions throughout their journey, from securing the right finance and choosing the most tax-efficient structure to managing tenants and ensuring properties continue to deliver a strong return.
This is a summary of the latest UK House Price Index as published by Zoopla in June 2026. It shows that the property market is beginning to slow, but there are still opportunities for landlords and property investors who understand their local market. While higher mortgage rates and economic uncertainty have reduced buyer activity across the UK, the East Midlands remains resilient.
As tax rules for landlords have evolved in recent years, many property investors have explored alternative ways to structure their portfolios. One option that has become increasingly popular is to purchase and hold property through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
National Insurance (NI) is a tax that helps fund state benefits, including the State Pension. The rules can sometimes feel complicated, but understanding the basics can help you plan and avoid surprises.
The latest insights from the Zoopla House Price Index provide a useful snapshot for landlords and property investors, particularly those operating across Nottingham, Derby and the wider East Midlands. While the national picture remains relatively stable, some clear regional dynamics present both opportunities and risks.
From 1 May 2026, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 will come into force, introducing a fundamental change in how residential tenancies operate in England. For landlords, this is not simply a compliance exercise. It denotes a transition to a more regulated, process-driven operating environment.
