Bio
Propenomix Founder.....macroeconomic and UK property market obsessive......
700+ deals in the past 12 years, held on to most, usually in JV structures - single family units, vanilla BTL, some HMO, social, STR/SA - conversions and one whole out of the ground build too!
Shooting straight always - from the hip - no sugar coating and (I try) no bias - just the truth as I see it.
May 2024 - Never been as bullish for the 5-year future of the property market from an investor's perspective - never been so bearish from a tenant's perspective. To be updated!

Don't disagree with your concerns about meddling in the market but it is rife as it is, and I'd expect takeup to be 0.25% if that per year to be honest. Thin end of the wedge argument makes sense -...

True BUT what about the actual voting that goes on - it might be closer than you think at 1.95 properties per landlord on average or whatever it is. 40% didn't vote last time out.... 2 - is absolutely the...

There's sensible ways to approach that though Lee. Cider Drinker's idea is not bad, you could also throw in "no CGT" as a sweetener in these situations to make up for the sale of the asset. Then you end up...

That genuinely seems their direction of travel - started with Osborne, went through another 63 tory PMs, and is still there with RR/KS

Reply to the comment left by david porter at 05/09/2024 - 11:35I'd suspect that the inventory on checkin, inspection reports etc. would be the realistic defence against that sort of thing

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 04/09/2024 - 18:29Fair commentary. I'd think 4 months is "reasonable" notice unless there are extenuating circumstances. Having seen a whole number of LLs in distress over the years the exra 2...

Let's hope this gets some well-deserved traction Marcus!

I'll keep it warm - these don't look in any way radical, if anything they aren't going to do much at all apart from the odd ideological misstep like VAT on private school fees - they are too scared to...

Yep, a reason. Not an excuse. I think splitting hairs is key as it shows true colours. Normally he is much cleverer than that - e.g. Sunak "doesn't understand our culture". Apologise for that if you prefer, but that's nothing...

For business accounts in the UK it is a simple way of the banks potentially monetizing some transactions - some charge, some don't - depends on the layer of protection in the account.... For personal accounts, I don't know any...

Not really. Farage said "Reason" to invade. Putin had "reason" to invade. He SHOULD have said "excuse" to invade. Because that would me a much fairer framing of the situation. Those were his words - I don't worry about MSM,...

Labour are lying about it and the "reason" - read excuse - for the hikes will come in time. Cons can't afford their plans. Reform aren't alone but they are the furthest out, but it isn't stopping the wind in...

Stat overload - stripped back version of my longer article, hope it was of some interest!

£10bn a year to be saved, or more - no-one interested. Interested to know why these articles miss the mark - too technical, too dry, not written well enough, don't explain the issue?

In theory I'm in support In practice it is incredibly expensive and they are making up numbers as they go along, unfortunately.

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 24/06/2024 - 17:01Don't directly disagree - but that's a very small fraction of the net migration numbers of the past couple of years. The unspoken part is that too much of...

I'm just not willing to believe that "it's different this time" and "these are the ones telling the truth", I'm afraid - it's politics!
