Changes to Principal private residence relief (PPR) will take effect from April 2020:

  • The final period exemption allowing PPR For the last 18 months of ownership, provided that the property was a principle private residence at some point, will be reduced to 9 months.
  • Lettings relief will only be available to those who are in shared occupancy with a tenant.

These measures appear to be further attacks on residential landlords.
