The Welsh government have already said they would not follow Scotland on the rent freeze or section 21 removal for fear of losing thousands of PRS properties and increasing the housing crisis. Its unusual to hear Dripford come out with...
I'm sure a tenant will find the switches after acfew weeks unless they are idiots. To be fair the main reason I've found they are switched off is because they are too noisy. It seems stupid for them to always...
I'd be surprised if they consume more than 10 Watts or 0.01 kW. Even at 50p/kWh that's only half a penny per hour. They must be desperate not to afford that.

I agree, other costs going up like annual gas checks, management fees etc are fair game to recover from the rental fee increase as these should be in line generally with inflation. The mortgage increase is the difficult one to...
Ah now that's another twist. Rent rises in line with inflation is one thing but rent rises to also recover increases in mortgage interest rates is another. The tenant is not buying the house, the landlord is so the landlord...

Not sure freezing interest on PRS mortgages is a good idea. Great for those with bug mortgages on their stock but no help at all to those if us that don't have mortgages. This woukd be an unfair bias. It...
Yes you can but it does severely limit your outreach if you do as only prospective landlords or letting agents woukd be interested. This also reduces its market value. As explained by my letting agent a new buyer purchasing with...
