"Most professional landlords operating via a limited company breathing a sigh of relief"

Emma Cox, managing director of real estate at Shawbrook: “While the government has announced a 2% tax increase in property income, most professional landlords operating via a limited company will be breathing a sigh of relief that rumoured, punitive changes were not announced.

“Though economic uncertainty and market volatility have posed challenges over the past 12 months, landlords have proven themselves to be agile and able to withstand pressures.”
