I can explain this. Since the government bought in its insane restrictions to limit holding / reservation deposits to just one week of rent, that is not enough for us landlords as a prospective tenant can walk away and afford...

It is bad here in England, but the clownocracy are even worse N of the border and also across in Wales too.

The clownocracy just love their fines. Just hoping Liebour get replaced by something better, but not expecting much if the Tories get in. More fines, more bans, more treading heavily on the populace.

Well done to 118 on this news. No other site appears to have picked up on this yet.

Please God, don't let Milivolt become PM or else this unevidenced Net Zero nonsense will really start in earnest. Heat pumps DO NOT work unless in very well insulated modern homes. Only the UK, Germany and Australia are still bought...

Pointless, stupid idea to bring in Making Tax Digital. Just scrap the whole thing please.

This government, just like the last one, seems to be hell bent on driving the uppity “kulaks”, (Mum and Dad landlords), out of the private rented sector and handing landlordism to their pals in big corporations who are more likely...

Reply to the comment left by Grumpy Doug at 12/01/2026 - 14:58I will happily go with that, (your approach) but it seems you need to buy some software to get from one's noddy spreadsheets to HMRC. And I cannot understand...

Yes, good point. Oh, I am David of LettingFocus.com and have been making the same point for about 20 years at my blogs. Most recently I made it here too: https://www.lettingfocus.com/blogs/2025/12/budget-summary-for-residential-landlords/ ..includes this snippet.. "This government, just like the last...

I see the Farmers have had a stay of execution on this for a year, credit to the NFU for that. NRLA, what are you doing on this?

Reply to the comment left by Grumpy Doug at 12/01/2026 - 13:34Good point, and what I cannot understand is why can we not just fill in a quarterly version of a tax return, at least we all know exactly what...

Reply to the comment left by Richard Dean at 21/11/2025 - 10:23What makes no sense is why we need the software. At the moment I do my tax return before deadline once a year, I fill in all the boxes...

It is worth saying too that if you go for Product Transfer and you will get a worse rate than a customer coming from outside will get for exactly the same product. https://www.lettingfocus.com/blogs/2025/07/mortgage-lenders-continue-to-give-worse-rates-to-existing-borrowers-on-remortgage-than-they-offer-to-new-customers/

The Renters Rights Act is really all about two things: First, it is about reducing the eligibility of the homeless to be housed by the state. (I cannot wait to see Shelter's and Gen Rent's faces when they realise they...

You would kind of think she and other MPs in the Labour Party might have been more careful given that this occurred just over a year ago: https://www.property118.com/labour-mp-under-fire-over-unlicensed-and-mould-ridden-flats/

Exactly, why should anyone bother.

Exactly, every time and place they have been tried they have failed. If even the hopeless SNP and demented Scottish Greens finally understand this, and you don't, it really is bottom of the class time for you Jezza.
