It is absolutely no surprise whatsoever that there are thousands of unlicensed HMO‘s in London. There are up to half a million illegal immigrants living in London- so where are they living?. They can’t take normal tenancies or join any...

This will never be solved until everyone stops talking about building more houses and deals with the cause - uncontrolled population growth through legal and illegal migration. How can u allow over a million people to come to the U.K....

There is a house near us that’s been empty for two years, the previous owner died intestate. This process needs speeding up

There’s one glaring omission from this article regarding the increasing number of people looking for rental property - the high level of immigration - 600,000 last year alone, one of the reasons we have such a housing crisis.

Shelter- Government - everyone continues to avoid the simple truth - to solve the housing problem we need to reduce and stop the uncontrolled population growth - drastically reduce immigration and remove those that have no right to be in...

I know someone working with the Afghan refugees- they say that some of them are turning down perfectly good houses because they want bigger houses ur in a different area- they seem to have an “entitled to” attitude - some...

If we controlled our population there would be no crisis. How can u allow 600,000 people enter the country in a year when there is already a desperate shortage of accommodation?

Housing crisis cause - 1 Government have encouraged landlords to leave the sector by tax,legislation,and licensing. 2 immigration continues at an unsustainable rate - 500k in one year. = fewer homes being chased by more people- rents go up. Housing...

I went through a period where I used to rent rooms to benefits tenants in HMO’s. I had a good relationship with the local council and they would bring the tenants to me, and provide interest free deposit loans to...

I used to own a hmo and took in dozens of homeless individuals over a 5 year period- a lot of them on behalf of the local council. I stopped this and sold the property 2 years ago purely because...
