Bio
Entrepreneur - Globally ranked Head Hunter for 40 years - taking a bit of a break at present as I got married and nabbed an UK big portoflio property who has moved offshore with Me and is loving it.
Property Investor for 40 years - The real return on UK property now taking into account everything is 2% - meaning it is not a good investment at all. And what you do make will be taken off you by the UK tax man
Selling up - one 6 Bed 12% ROI HMO still to sell - it's the best performing asset and I have great tenants.
Moved to Financial Markets investing which I now know hands down beats property investment

The good news may be that those tenants taking advantage of the welfare system may realise "oh I need to get a job or 2 jobs to be a tenant a landlord will accept".

Yep, we evicted a benefits tenant on S21 , rent arrears, social misbehaving, druggie. Sold after this experience. Wouldn't ever take that risk again even tho the Government paid us directly.

10 years on and thousands of tenants are still living with cladding which Developers haven't replaced yet no Directors have been held responsible or imprisoned. This has left owners unable to sell and purchasers unable to get mortgages. The recent...

Would be good if it actually worked. I found out one immigrant was subletting a room of mine. But I suspect it was done via word of mouth so he would still havd gotten away with it.
