We have the weight to influence government policy

We have the size and heritage to influence government policy. We know landlords are navigating changes to stamp duty and parts of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act. We understand this could feel overwhelming, so we want to reassure landlords by providing clear information based on factual change. We believe changes will cause uncertainty or challenges for landlords and the private rented sector, and we will continue to lobby for change.

Our most recent lobby to the government was around energy efficiency. We called on the government to urgently provide clarity and support around their energy efficiency targets.
