UK households expect the Bank of England (BoE) to continue on its hawkish policy course when the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) releases its next decision at 12 noon on 22 September.
In August the BoE raised its main interest rate by 50 basis points, taking it to 1.75% in its largest move in 27 years. The overwhelming majority of economists believe it is likely the Bank of England will add the same amount on September 22, potentially lifting the the base rate to 2.25%.
With inflation running at a 40-year high and interest rates moving on an upward trajectory many Landlords are looking to the new Prime Minster to offer much needed support to the private rented sector.
NRLA chief executive Ben Beadle told Property118 that he had spoken personally with Ms Truss at a leadership hustings and received firm assurances on the issue.
“She told me directly that she felt that landlords had been harshly treated these past years under a Conservative government and she wanted to create an environment that rather than landlords selling their properties and leaving the sector, that actually they remain and wish to invest,” said Mr Beadle.
