Created Oct 29, 2026 • AI-generated summary

Reaction by Martin Sims, Distribution Director at Molo Finance, published 29 October 2026, to the Chancellor's Budget announcement of a further two percentage point increase in tax on landlord property income. Sims said most established landlords are unlikely to stop investing though some may sell; the higher tax burden on personally held properties may push more landlords toward limited company ownership, though incorporation is not straightforward; and landlords will discuss with brokers whether their approach still makes financial sense around remortgaging or new purchases.
