BPF publishes blog post on proposed ban of Upward Only Rent Reviews
The British Property Federation (BPF) has published a blog post as part of its Spotlight Series, providing insights from its Head of Communications, Dominic Curran, in response to the government’s 10 July 2025 announcement of a proposed ban on Upward Only Rent Reviews (UORRs). The blog explains what UORRs are and their intended purpose, examines the government’s rationale for the ban, and discusses the potential implications for investment, borrowing costs and development viability within the property sector. It also sets out the BPF’s response, including correspondence with the Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, expressing industry concerns. The BPF is currently gathering evidence from its members ahead of the Bill’s second reading on 2 September 2025.
