Reply to the comment left by Unloved Landlord at 06/03/2025 - 08:25I've replaced the boilers in my houses over the years and have always had them serviced at the same time as the gas safety certificate is done too. It...

'only being able to claim 20% tax relief on expenses, such as mortgage interest payment, leasehold costs and repairs and maintenance is killing me' 'the tax is assessed on the total rent received, with 20% allowance off my expenditure' Reply...

If they can’t afford housing where they are needed then they should simply move to somewhere else that IS affordable and then the salaries in the unaffordable areas will have to be increased to attract them back. It doesn’t make...

They're wrong about the Housing Act but if it's down to their own regulations for selective licensing, how big is the living room? If big enough to be a bedroom then just tell the council worker it's a studio flat...

I believe the increase is actually due to people from the south bidding in areas they know little about so perhaps they haven't (yet?) had the same experience you've had? Prices have shot up in the last couple of years...

I thought it but since I'm not there (but in France, where these things are being handled totally differently, in that I can still let an E rated property until 2034) I asked the agent who fully manages my properties...

Reply to the comment left by Carla mason at 23/09/2023 - 13:56Why 150mm of loft insulation? Surely it should be double that?

Reply to the comment left by Stephen Allison at 22/09/2023 - 12:12My agent also advised me to do nothing with my EPC D properties and wait to see what happened re the proposals.

It doesn't matter whether that level of maintenance is normal or not - it's the fact that this scenario can happen at all that is relevant. Why can a landlord who is incorporated deduct finance costs but not one who...

Depends how long the work permit is for. Im in the EU and more than three months means residency and working needs a visa anyway, if you’re British/a third country national. I refer to court because if one has any...

I said live and work, not just work, and it depends upon other matters such as how long you spend there compared to the other place you are trying to claim as home. If you spend more time in the...

A lodger shares your home with you and can\'t do that if you don\'t actually live there. (Your residence will be where you live and work, not in the house you leave behind). However, are you certain you have lodgers...

Reply to the comment left by Guaranteed Rent Specialist at 01/08/2023 - 10:59It doesn't look like the under 90 days rule is relevant since the OP states that the building is a licensed HMO and the council website states that...

From their website: 'Houses in Multiple Occupation Private sector housing licensing cannot be applied to short-term holiday lets. The Housing Act 2004 sets the framework for licensing Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO). To be covered under an HMO licensing scheme...

Daft idea. They're basically taking away property rights and landlords being blackmailed into making a charity donation just adds insult to injury. 'The idea of banning Section 21 is to stop evictions because tenants are complaining about repairs and they...

Exactly - and how are they described as victims when it's in the contract they willingly signed? I know of true victims, people who went away for a period and let their property for that period, telling the tenant from...
