Let’s remember that Insurance companies routinely discriminate and the government allows that! They ask higher premiums if a tenant is on benefits or self-employed etc. And who would the ‘registered providers’ of verification be? Yet another ‘service’ provider that can...

Never ever have a lawyer as a tenant. Ever.

I had a tenant who told me he’d checked and found out I didn’t have a mortgage and then started threatening me and trying to extort money. He made a false claim to the council saying I had failed to...

Couldn’t agree more. Ineffective, badly designed and just a money grabbing exercise for the councils. In my area I had two inspections for my selective licence applications. Neither inspector seemed to have any clue what they were doing or even...

This is appalling - why should we be exposed to such risks? Truly terrifying. Identity fraud is constantly increasing and the government imposes complex legislation supposedly designed to protect data privacy and then does this! Making all landlords sitting targets....

The fact that information on comparable achieved rents is not available either to landlords or tribunals makes a mockery of the whole process. Whoever devised this wants us all to live in a Kafka nightmare. The only potential source for...

Duh! What did the government THINK would happen? Yes of course we are all selling as soon as we can. So less places available to rent. And of course that means higher rents! Plus no bidding over the asking price...

And so yet another new avenue for profiteering from landlords opens up: ‘let me help you fill in your rent increase form oh and there will be a fee for that.’ Is that fee going to be refunded if the...

Another unfair burden. It’s totally unacceptable to put this extra pressure and stress on all small business owners. I can see what’s coming once they have forced everyone to sign up we will then Be forced to pay tax 4...

Totally agree. One of the dumbest. Banning bidding is also dumb.

Nice idea but the major problem is that the actual rents achieved by comparable properties is NOT accessible information. We need a landlords network where all local landlords can share this information with each other - so we can arm...

Excellent article, thank you. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I think the government would be delighted if every private landlord sold up and the housing market crashed. I am beginning to wonder if that is what they are secretly...

My point is that on Zoopla or Rightmove all you can find out is what the ASKING price is - not the actual price that was eventually agreed.

What protections are being built in to prevent landlords being victims of fraud? At least with the land registry I can request that Im informed if anyone makes a query about any property that I own. But the PRS will...

I’m confused. What about the licence fees councils are receiving? From Landlords? Isn’t that already supposed to be funding the councils’ enforcement actions? Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps that all just goes on fancy biscuits and staff perks. Or to...

Indeed – what a ludicrous lie and absolutely ridiculous nonsense to claim landlords ‘are not disciplined by the market’. If I ask for an excessively high rent I won’t get any tenants! It’s the DEMAND that sets the prices. Why...

Hilariously in Westminster every area now has to pay c. £1,000 per property except in 3 small wards. And where are those wards? Adjacent to the Houses of Parliament. Totally unjustifiable. And the idea that as Landlords we are responsible...
