BUY-TO-LETINFLUENCERS 2016It’s been an eventful year for the buy-to-let industry to say the least – from the Deregulation Bill to landlord tax relief cuts. And with so much going on

we have put together a line-up of our top 25 personal favourites.

Who made the cut?

Telegraph property and business journalist Anna White made the cut on account of the sheer

volume of news stories she writes. She also has a healthy twitter following

to boot.

David Lawrenson is the owner of property

consultancy LettingFocus.com. He is also the author of the

UK's highest selling property and buy-to-let

books Successful Property Letting.

Keep tabs on Emma Lunn. She's a freelance

personal finance journalist who regularly

writes for thisismoney.co.uk, The

Guardian and The Independent.

Changes in the 2015 Budget such as the

buy-to-let tax mean that George is very much at

the heart of most commentary. As the

Chancellor he's made changes which directly impact the return on

your buy-to-let.

major publications and is very active on Twitter

with a growing following. You will find objective

Henry Pryor is described as the BBC’s favourite

property expert and with over 500 TV and radio

appearances you can see why. We think Henry is definitely one to follow. Awarded the 2015 LSL Property Commentator

of the Year.

If you want to know more about Houses in Multiple

Occupation, Jim Haliburton is definitely your man as a landlord who specialises in this

area. Jim, also known as 'HMO Daddy', runs

courses on the pros and cons and has written a

book or two on the subject.

to bookmark and has provided insight into the housing market for some

time now.

opinion.

since 1989 and made our list as the founder of
