£900pm equates to 5.4% yield if your property is worth £200k. That is before expenses, agent fees, etc and if the net rent takes you into the 40% tax band you will be paying 40% tax on the income and...

Nothing like a bit of scaremongering to push landlords to subscribe to Lendlord:-) I'm not aware of any requirement to prove that the tenant has read the e-mail, etc. Even recorded delivery would only prove delivery to the property, not...

Reply to the comment left by Monty Bodkin at 31/03/2026 - 17:12Interesting - I see that one decision allowed rent to be backdated to the date that the landlord increased (doubled!) it in June 2025. That will not be happening...

I've just issued 3 section 21 notices. They will not feature in court statistics unless I have to file a claim by 31/7/26. There will still be 3 more properties not available to tenants (assuming they are bought by owner...
