NRLA Chief Makes Last-Ditch Plea to Chancellor Ahead of Budget
Ben Beadle, chief executive of the National Residential Landlords Association, has made a last-ditch plea to Chancellor John Healey to help the private rental sector. Tomorrow's Budget will be Healey's first, and recent days have brought growing speculation about further tax changes.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the intervention from the NRLA's most senior figure signals the level of concern across the sector as the Chancellor prepares to set out his fiscal plans. The plea comes with the private rental sector already facing a challenging operating environment, and with speculation mounting over what the Budget may hold for landlords.
Further detail on the NRLA's specific asks, and the Chancellor's Budget measures themselves, are expected in the coming days. Letting agents and inventory clerks will be watching for any announcements affecting landlords and the wider private rented sector.
