TenantsRecommendations

Incentivise landlords who need to sell to keep their properties in the private rented sector • The panel recommends that private landlords who need to sell their properties should be incentivised to keep their properties in the private rented sector. • To that end, there should be more incentives for buy to let mortgages as opposed to buying as a second property. • The panel also recommends that there should be incentives for landlords to sell with a sitting tenant in place and at the same time, tenants should have a right to stay in a property after a change of landlord. • The panel recommends that the tax system could be used to provide incentives for landlords to buy existing let properties with tenants in place, eg changes to LBTT tax or work with local authorities in using acquisition fund money to purchase properties.

Economy and Fair Work Committee 17 January 2024

For historical reasons, as you will know, the refining of most UK oil takes place in other European countries, and then, as you rightly say, we buy that product. Our output and the output that will come from new licences goes into helping European energy security, which is a market of which we are part.
