Just to repeat: i'ts not .96% for landlords but .48%, the same as for owner occupiers. The .96% is for those who have a second home that they do not let, ie their own personal second home or holiday home.

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 28/06/2026 - 12:07It's not .96 for landlords - only for second home owners who haven't let their property. I read it as being based on the property value, not the land...

Except that under the RRA a tenant can go to a rent tribunal to challenge a rent increase and 1) when the overloaded tribunal system eventually deals with it that's when the increase, if allowed, would start - saving the...

Reply to the comment left by Keith Wellburn at 24/06/2026 - 10:32It's from the fairer share campaign but their graphic shows landlords paying the .48% and second home owners who don't let their property paying the .96% See https://fairershare.org.uk/proportional-property-tax/

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...

Reply to the comment left by Karen Cadore at 18/01/2025 - 13:11It's a 20% allowance for your mortgage interest but your other expenses are fully deductible.

'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?

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...
