Oh yes it is. The old have had their lives and need to move aside to help the young. And I am speaking as a 62 year old. The post war generation has generally had it pretty good, as they...

Reply to the comment left by Tony Edwards at 19/08/2026 - 11:15I am all for voluntary euthanasia. The old are too many. Most of them are completely economically unviable. They are an enormous drain on the exchequer. The state of...

In the new RRA world, it is even more important to establish why the tenant wants the property and what his or her motivations are going forward as the last thing a landlord wants is multiple changeovers and voids because...

Reply to the comment left by Mark Alexander - Founder of Property118 at 30/03/2026 - 08:39No. You were right the first time. I don't see this in financial terms, but in political terms. The parties at Westminster are clearly on...

I am still trying to get my head around the fact that it was a Conservative Government that wanted to get rid of landlords. What happened to the property owning democracy that Thatcher was keen to create?

Since when is a £7,000 fine an acceptable punishment for what is a simple administrative error? I am sure there are plenty of criminal offences which carry a lesser fine. Speeding, dangerous driving, peddling drugs, tax evasion? Are landlords going...

There is the politics, then there is the reality. Leaseholders have been sold a populist narrative that service charges will disappear overnight along with rogue freeholders and their managing agent accomplices. The reality is that buildings will still need to...

Reply to the comment left by Jo Westlake at 15/01/2026 - 10:19Welfarism defeats all risk taking, personal responsibility and self reliance. That is why we are in a doom loop of ever decreasing circles. The trouble is, the British public...
