This case shows just how vulnerable is a private landlord to a tenant with a grudge or some form of mental instability. If a Council, with likely significant financial and legal resources, can’t get a Court’s permission to enter their...

The tenants going straight to the Council instead of having a chat with the landlord is likely the result of years of deliberate Government anti landlord propaganda and public brainwashing to demonise landlords and weaponise tenants against landlords. There’s been...

Reply to the comment left by Steve Ticket at 19/10/2025 - 07:22Agreed, the PRS used to be a low risk/medium return investment, the government has turned it into a high risk/low return investment, that’s why I’m also out as soon...

I would say the government is not so much trying to entirely rid the country of the Private Rented Sector but instead split the sector into two tiers. One the PRS with independent landlords heavily regulated and taxed and stripped...

Although the government may be stupid and incompetent those traits are heavily outweighed by their deep corruption from sources such as international wealth management companies like Blackrock and various UK Build to Rent companies. This is I believe their motivation...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 12/10/2025 - 19:49Knowing what we know about Teflon Tony, who has friends in high places, he most likely does have inside information and is acting accordingly. Possibly he’s selling up in...

Agreed that it’s highly likely BTR will be exempt from a lot of these regulations because that is by design. The various corrupt UK governments over the years have clearly created a two tier rental sector in the UK. One...

“From blocking tenants from paying in advance, incentivising landlords to overprice properties, and driving more to sell-up, a bill designed to protect tenants could inadvertently be about to pull the rug out from under them.” The article is mostly correct...

Reply to the comment left by Rob Thomas at 06/10/2025 - 10:59It’s amazing how many people still believe that Venezuela’s economic problems are due to incompetence. It’s the US sanctions and deliberate destabilisation efforts in order to achieve regime change...

Well well, those behind the scenes have finally publicly confirmed their true agenda. That would be to split the PRS into two distinct camps, independent landlords and corporate landlords. Next phase is to complete the effort to drive out as...

Agreed there is an upper limit to what rent tenants are prepared, and able, to pay due to the generally low average pay in the UK. Agreed about UK Govt, it is very hard to tell which is greater, their...

I do not accept for one moment that Rayner did not calculate she was saving 40k in CGT by making the deliberate decision to fudge her housing situation. Rayner’s mis-advice excuse is plainly, in CIA parlance, plausible denial. She knew...

Reply to the comment left by Steve Ticket at 03/09/2025 - 18:19The plan is the Govt wants independent landlords to leave the PRS so their homeless tenants have to turn to the corporate BTR landlords. Then wealth management companies such...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 05/08/2025 - 08:23“If I gain possession via Section 21 and sell my vacant property to a first time buyer, then my Section 21 hasn’t increased homelessness. It has just replaced a...

Reply to the comment left by at 06/08/2025 - 10:58It is commonly known that selling a property without “vacant possession”, which is what almost all mortgage lenders demand in order to offer a mortgage, will reduce the market value of...

“Just about every new rule for the PRS is nonsense on stilts without any consideration of its impact.” I beg to differ. The impacts of the nonsense rules are very very carefully considered. They are designed to frustrate and drive...

It speaks volumes that Shelter and GenRent etc constantly malign independent landlords but say almost nothing about the other landlords; local authorities and corporate landlords. I do not believe the government is influenced by such groups but rather it’s the...

Thank you everyone for your comments and advice. I own the flat in my name only so believe that makes me a consumer landlord, and hence have consumer protection, whether I own any other properties or not. The agent's TOB...

It’s very clear to me that driving out independent landlords is an unwritten government policy. I estimate sometime prior to the 2015 budget the government made a back room deal with various companies such as Lloyds Bank etc to clear...
