Hundreds of landlords tuned in to LandlordZONE’s live webinar on Tuesday, “Property tax in 2025: What every landlord needs to know,” for practical guidance on how confirmed and proposed tax changes could affect their portfolios.
The session, hosted by Paul Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action, featured Barry Soraff, partner at Xeinadin, as a guest. Together, they offered landlords clear, practical advice on navigating what is fast becoming one of the most complex tax environments the sector has faced.
Key issues under the spotlight
The discussion explored a range of pressing tax topics for landlords, including:
• Inheritance tax changes and their implications for property investors
• Section 24 interest restrictions, property incorporation, and how to invest efficiently
• Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) - recent updates and what the future could hold

Barry Soraff (pictured right) said the high level of engagement reflected growing concern among landlords about the pace of change: “Many are understandably anxious about what lies ahead, but the key message is that there’s still time to plan. With the right structure and professional advice, landlords can manage these changes effectively and protect their investments.”
Paul Shamplina added that awareness must translate into action: “Awareness is useful, but action pays the bills. This week, speak to your adviser, map your MTD process, and run simple scenarios on structure, CGT and SDLT. Thirty minutes now can save months of pain later.”
Next steps for landlords
Paul and Barry urged landlords to act proactively before new rules take effect. Key steps include reviewing property ownership structures to ensure tax efficiency, keeping financial records up to date for Making Tax Digital (MTD), and planning ahead for capital gains tax (CGT) and SDLT thresholds - the price points at which tax rates rise.
They stressed the value of regular reviews with professional advisers, both tax and legal, to stay compliant and minimise liability. By understanding how new and existing rules interact - from mortgage interest relief to inheritance planning - landlords can make informed, strategic decisions that protect their investments.
