Quarterly Reports
NRLA quarterly reports
Each quarter the NRLA invites members to share with us their views and opinions on a range of topics, issues and Government policies which affect their ability to be a good landlord.
The results are published and build into a detailed picture of the views and opinions of landlords. These reports form the evidence base from which the NRLA makes the landlord case to both local and national Governments.
In Focus (2021 Qtr 2): Licensing & regulation
The quarter 2 survey looked at landlords' recent experience of licensing. Possible policy innovations are also tested. There is support for regulatory regimes among landlords IF an impact can be demonstrated - this is something which both local authorities and national initiatives (Rent Smart Wales) have failed to do. This In Focus also reports on a collaboration with Battersea Dogs' Home.
In Focus (2021 Qtr 1): Universal Credit, welfare & debt
Every quarter the NRLA ask landlords about how policy is impacting on their property business.The Quarter 1 survey focuses on some of the key issues surrounding Universal Credit and welfare. Landlords were also asked about debt management.
In Focus (2020 Qtr 4): Safety and standards
Every quarter the NRLA ask landlords about how policy is impacting on their property business.The Quarter 4 survey asked about Safety and Standards, focusing on the demands of electrical safety, EICR renewals and energy efficiency. Landlords were also asked about the possible impact of a raised minimum EPC threshold.
Quarter 3 In Focus: Landlords & Taxation
This In Focus report considers the views of landlords on a range of taxation topics. Landlords' likely response to tax changes sends the Chancellor of the Exchequer a message to think through tax changes and reforms. The impact of changes on the PRS may not be as forecasters predict.
Quarter 3 In Focus: Landlord Possession
In March 2020, the Government introduced the ban on residential evictions. This ban was lifted on the 20th September. With more restrictions since being introduced and a huge backlog of possession cases likely, the NRLA asked landlords about their recent experience of possession proceedings.
