My Next Vote Goes To The Libertarian Party

24th November 2017, 8 years ago

Hi Mark, your reply has got my further attention - I did actually wonder whether their views would match my own pragmatic (but currently vote losing) views on the NHS - I'll watch that video later and research further on...

My Next Vote Goes To The Libertarian Party

24th November 2017, 8 years ago

How very refreshing. Interesting how a relative fledgling political party seems to have got to grips with many of the housing issues without even trying - unlike the incumbents and assorted mugs before them. I'd like to see a lot...

Reply to the comment left by "Rod Adams" at "13/07/2017 - 09:45": Agreed. You rightly point of a few of the obvious (to anyone with even the most basic business/economic or common sense ..therefore not MPs !) flaws of rent...

Reply to the comment left by "Rod Adams" at "12/07/2017 - 20:01": Hi Rod, I do appreciate what you are saying but the last two 'Tory' governments can't stop themselves nicking socialist policies - minimum wage, market intervention (energy) and...

A worrying development. With a socialist pretend Tory govt there is every chance that this is just the beginning. S24 and all the other govt meddling resulting in rent increases it will prove irresistible to the muppet MPs to blame...

TDS Charitable Foundation report

12th July 2017, 9 years ago

Oh dear. I thought Kate Faulkner was a well informed property professional - it appears not. Houses with central heating, windows that open, walls that don't have rising damp, have decent roofs and mechanical extractor fans get mouldy for one...

I'm with Monty on this one. It's early days and so real indisputable evidence for the impact of s24 is going to be hard to come by. However, the anecdotal evidence that I observe building daily is very convincing. Agents...

How irresponsible HM treasury has been to introduce a policy which will increase costs and therefore prices (rent) for an unknown number of clients (tenants). 2 years on and I still can't get my head around how irresponsible and financially...

New BBC1 Programme about Landlords

29th June 2017, 9 years ago

The programme was better than expected but mainly because I feared the worst. Yes positive as a whole but without getting too Donald Trump about the BBC I couldn't help feeling that it was all rather patronising and it was...

For less than £200 I would recommend getting the professionals to do it - Landlord Action for example (other brands are available !!). Getting possession whatever the reason and however cordial relations are currently with the tenant is never simple...

More meddling spun as helping the vulnerable but will of course punish them the most. Letting fees will be going on the rent - it's obvious. If you can't do that in your area then you might sell up. Thus...

Reply to the comment left by "Whiteskifreak Surrey" at "21/06/2017 - 10:36": Agreed - so cynical in exploiting a tragedy which if anything should be used to expose how social housing is far from the holy grail of rental that...

New BBC1 Programme about Landlords

20th June 2017, 9 years ago

Politics of envy has always been a problem in this country where success is envied and despised as opposed to being celebrated. Such a shame as ultimately business success does actually pay for everything - including the bloated welfare state....

Reply to the comment left by "Mike D" at "19/06/2017 - 16:45": Mike, in going for commercial with resi above you may find yourself inadvertently an HMO landlord however you decide to let the flat. It is my understanding that...

Don't worry Ros Red Theresa and the faux Tories won't let independent research from a well regarded institution get in the way of populist neo-socialist vote grabbing policies - taking their lead from Laurel and Hardy (Cameron and Osborne).

Reply to the comment left by "Appalled Landlord" at "19/06/2017 - 11:52": In Luk's defence I don't think he was agreeing with the anti-Semitic element - at least I hope not although I am forever shocked how it seems ok...

Beggars belief. Already evidence that Red Theresa and faux Tories have learnt nothing. Housing cost is right at the top of the snowflakes agenda with tuition fees - clearly not going to be a priority to fix supply properly. Expect...

Headline in The Times 'Austerity is over' May tells Tories. For goodness sake what is wrong with the people in this country. A few snowflakes from Generation Rent vote for an old Marxist and we chuck financial prudence out of...

Buy Sell Hold or Get Out Altogether?

13th June 2017, 9 years ago

Jury is out as far as we are concerned. Before last weeks debacle we were reasonably content with our expensive (vanilla ) incorporation and holding tight waiting for some buying opportunities with the funds we had raised. We saw the...

Reply to the comment left by "Mike D" at "13/06/2017 - 09:19": Mike D - the voice of common sense. Why ? Real world business experience. Not some privileged spoon fed over educated academic with an unrealistic utopian view of...
