I'm tempted to do the Domestic EPC assessors course myself and do my own EPCs. Not because I want to cheat the system but, after discussions with other rental property owners, I'm a bit concerned about how accurate some of...

With all the other madness that's going on, I can see CGT on own homes becoming a reality. The Guardian has been funded by the B&M Gates Foundation - nothing to do with CGT but it should make you stop...

A good analysis of lockdowns using real data, not personal opinions/theories is on YT: "Crucial Viral Update Jan 4th - Europe and USA". There are many scientists around the world (without political or financial motivations), who are equally or better...

Only use NAPIT or NICEIC registered electricians for EICRs. However, not all registered electricians have the correct competency for domestic electrical inspections. On the NICEIC or NAPIT websites you can get advice, identify a suitable electrician local to you and...

Check the NAPIT and NICEIC websites to see which competencies are required to do an EICR. For NAPIT I believe that the competency is "EIS". An electrician qualified to do domestic electrical inspection is required, as already stated by David...

Get the contractor who did the CP12 to explain exactly what the problem is. It could be as simple as re-sealing the flue at the outside of the property. If the flue has a long run with more than one...

Reply to the comment left by Seething Landlord at 15/10/2020 - 19:22I totally agree! I bought two properties seven years ago and, before any tenants moved in, I had EICRs done on both properties. The work included one new consumer...

For an EICR you should employ an electrician (competent person) who is registered with a government-approved trade association such as the National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers (NAPIT) or the NICEIC. There may be other approved associations. In the...

I voted to leave in 2016 and I stand by that decision today. The conduct of our EU "friends" during the last 3+ years together with my own research has me convinced that leaving the EU is still best for...

Corbyn and his delusional extreme-left pals have been waiting all their sorry lives for an opportunity to do this to our once wonderful country. If they win the election, and I very much doubt that they will, we'll only have...

And Corbyn will wreck the economy and what will happen to the NHS then? Property prices will crash and property will be hard to sell - even with your tenant discount!!

I live in NE England and voted Leave. I have always voted Conservative and, although I am very disappointed in their attitude to PRS landlords, I will still vote the same. Apart from Newcastle, in 2016 all other areas of...

In the 60s and 70s my old Dad used to get very hot under the collar about Harold Wilson's Labour Party, the punitive taxation and of course the 'brain drain'. Now, with the frightening prospect of a Corbyn/McDonnell led government,...

Larry - how many members do you have in the National Landlords Alliance? Are many of your members also with the NLA or RLA or have they abandoned those organisations to join the Alliance?

Your land registry docs should include a drawing showing the property boundaries marked in red. Where there is a letter 'T' mark attached to a section of the garden boundary fencing, you are responsible for the maintenance of that section....

Landlords voting for Corbyn and his crew does not make any sense whatsoever - even if you do hate or feel let down by the Conservatives.

Yes, the Conservatives have been attacking the PRS but a Labour government under Corbyn would put us in a worse situation. Therefore, without much enthusiasm and not much hope for a bright future, I would have to vote Conservative. In...

Selling up when the current tenants move out is definitely an option for me, especially if Corbyn and Co win the next election. Income will reduce of course so I'll have to spend the kids inheritance, but then again if...
