£885 Per Property: The New National Insurance Hit on Landlords

We cut through the noise to explain what this really means for landlords and investors, and the tough choices it raises: absorb it, pass it on, or sell up?

This episode of The Investor’s Corner Podcast takes aim at the government’s latest tax grab. Landlords could soon be paying National Insurance on rental income, with average costs of £885 per property in London and £722 elsewhere. This change could reshape the buy-to-let landscape.

In This Episode:


The £2bn tax grab explained

We break down the numbers and reveal how the new National Insurance levy on rental income adds up across the sector.

What it means per property

With London landlords facing nearly £900 per property and those elsewhere over £700, the pressure is real and we show you how it stacks up.


Why rents could jump by £1,000 a year

If landlords pass the cost on, tenants could be footing a much higher bill. But will the market bear it?

Smaller landlords in the firing line

Why this change hits hardest for single-property and small-portfolio landlords, and what options they have left.

Absorb it, pass it on, or sell up?

The big question every landlord needs to ask: which strategy makes sense in a shifting tax landscape?

Why This Matters

Landlords have already faced years of tax reforms, regulation, and rising costs. This latest move could be the tipping point that forces many to rethink their portfolio. Understanding the numbers and the choices is essential if you want to protect your investment.
