100 homes in 3 years. That's some serious cash they are sitting on... I think local authorities should do the same. I think that Crisis has spotted that it's becoming increasingly difficult for landlords and this posing a serious threat...

I think there is a sentiment in these first few comments, basically from seasoned landlords who don't watch TikTok or FaceBook. There seems to be a growing trend of people saying how "easy" it is to make money out of...

Maybe he should take the 75m borrow 225m (75% LTV) and buy a few thousand properties..

It’s not a surprise. I expect we will see more of this as landlords exit. Which council is this? My local council accused me of running an unlicensed HMO and when I spoke to them and said if the tennant...

Sitting pretty. Being leveraged used to make sense, now it makes no money, because of eye watering rates. Congratulations!

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 19/12/2024 - 15:16If they go up I’m selling. I’m breaking even and hoping for some reductions. If I do sell I will be evicting the tenants, refurbishing and selling.

Reply to the comment left by Monty Bodkin at 18/10/2024 - 09:04Indeed they are now. I should have added “over the last 2 years”. Maybe a lot of people are in the same boat with 2 year deals taken, after...

Not really that good. Typical real costs on the link are over 8% for a 75% LTV. Another smoke and mirrors exercise by lenders in a niche market to take advantage of the PRS.

I've said this before. EPC's are at best an indication and at worst a rip off. When I bought a flat for myself the EPC said something about a gas boiler, which was interesting as the flat was all electric....

EPC is a SCAM. Not worth the paper it's written on. I bought a flat (for myself) and the EPC talked about my gas boiler... it was an all electric flat. This basically meant they had not even bothered to...

For HMO’s I think that licencing is essential. Protects you and the tenant. Yes it can be a pain and bizarrely it can be different from council to council, however, when done properly the only issue is the additional cost,...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 13/06/2024 - 11:27I don't think Landlords are passing on all their costs. My mortgages doubled and now I breakeven even though I put up the rent 20% - I am still...

It’s good to have an article with lots of backed up numbers and sensible observations. I too am a numbers man and have been watching things very closely. Agree that the inflation rate is likely to go up but also...

I agree with Bristol Landlord. You need to research very carefully and follow the regulations to the letter or risk a chunky fine. There is usually guidance on the local authorities website on minimum standards which can be quite detailed...

I have limited companies but the lenders negate limited liability by making you sign a personal guarantee. Whilst I find it better for all the other points you mention I can't see how you limit liability. It has always been...

Reply to the comment left by Easy rider at 09/12/2023 - 10:12Show me a 10 year period where prices have gone down... Of course capital at risk, just like the stock market, which you have no control over. If you...
