The property market started really well in 2020 - with a significant increase in the number of buyers around, especially those looking to move out of London.

How do you move house if you're in lock-down? Those who've recently exchanged with a set completion date coming up might have to find out!

What can a landlord do if/when their tenants simply don't have money to pay rent due to COVID-19? Could we handle it like we normally would or does it have to be different because it's happening en-masse?

There's also a re-mortgage version of the buy-to-let calculator that can be used for existing properties or entire portfolios.\n\nThe Tenant Fees Act 2019 prevented new tenancies from charging tenant fees, but where existing tenancy contracts included fee-charging clauses, those fees would still be due. From June 2020 these clauses are no longer valid and even existing tenancies can no longer charge fees.\n\n\nPaTMa has a free deposit calculator and the official Government guidance on the Tenant Fees Act is here.\n\nIt looks likely that Section 21 is going to be removed at some point (probably not finalised in 2020).\n\n\nThere are a number of articles around listing these and other changes for landlords (and letting agents) in 2020.
