Bio
Landlord since 2003. Disposing of them as they become vacant. Had an awful HMO, so won't be doing that again. Learned many lessons. Now have lovely tenants and do our best to keep up - with the help of P118.

My tenants have my contact details. Why does anyone else need them? It should be renamed the Register of Fraudster's Targets.

I had a flat that was snapped up at asking price (£200k) having been on the market through an estate agent for 1 day. 2 months later - Liz Truss happened and their mortgage was withdrawn. No interest at all...

The figures that don’t appear in this are the number of good tenants that leave during their S21 notice period. I feel this scenario is increasing but as they don’t even get to Court I’m not sure how it could...

Just looking at an agreement which says "Sale of premises to Third Party: If the landlord sells the property to a third party and the tenant introduced by us remains in occupation the landlord will be liable for all our...
