As both a building surveyor and a block managing agent, all estimates should have a common return date and time and be opened at that time - the work should also be priced against a common specification. One thing we...

Reply to NewYorkie Quite right - it does help with IHT. If the properties were in our individual names the IHT could be very high which would mean having to sell the buy to let properties, by incorporating or running...

Nick has obviously been to university - this is the type of rubbish that university's spout to the students - when they grow up they see the world in a different light - I was amazed at the clap trap...

Damp and mould issues in rented properties

25th September 2024, 2 years ago

I have a reasonable property portfolio with a range of properties, with EPC's from E to B and it makes not a jot of difference - it is almost always tenants life style and its always at the landlords risk...

Hypocritical comes to mind - I had to serve notice on a tenant in Brighton. The council advised my tenants that as the electrical contractor was struck off the official register some months after he had undertaken the EICR it...

For gods sake it does not require a genius - George Osbourne was the start of this situation - driven by an inept civil service who could not see further than the nose on their face - plus a fair...

Why should anyone be surprised - as has been said any fool could have predicted this situation, the government is the chief cause of this situation aided and abeted by the civil service the B o E and a number...

In reply to Mick Roberts; for the first time ever I am this morning working out which buy to lets I am going to be selling - probably 6 properties thats another 6 families looking for homes - most have...

Shelter as usual are totally misrepresenting the facts - they have again mentioned Landlords in an unfavourable light for their own purposes. I must be one hell of a soft touch, I have a good few properties, most of my...

Shelter really does need to look in the mirror they are the principal cause of all tenant problems - its largely of their making in the first place - whether its lobbying the government and the tax rises hoist upon...

As usual another bash at landlords - I have never been asked if I am willing or not to increase insulation in my houses - very doubtful about figures without any sound evidence to support it - it would also...

Anything which the government does - left or right wing is a total con - its driven by idealistic civil servants who do not have a clue about life - most have never lived in the real world and are...

I have no idea who I am going to vote for this time but it won't be this crowd of crooks - I had been a conservative member and voter for over 50 years but no longer. This government is...

I am a PSL, I live in Wales but none of my properties are in Wales. The government in Wales is a disaster on so many levels - yet people are too blind to see that every time the Welsh...

In response to Susan Bradley - I completely agree

Great idea - I already have two families in my houses who do not pay market rent - they are decent people and do what they can - I cannot afford to let them live rent free but I would...

I have a number of properties in England - I live in Wales and would not touch any B2L property in Wales with a barge pole - The first minister and his hench men, sorry people, are a total nightmare...

Conforming with regulations?

21st November 2022, 3 years ago

I would certainly obtain a second opinion from another electrician - its very surprising how different electricians view the same situation- I have had views varying from needing nothing to a partial rewire for the same property within days of...

The Hawks increase interest rates by 0.5%

4th August 2022, 4 years ago

I would look at the actions by the then chancellor who wants to be the next prime minister. His fiscal policy, without wishing to become too embroiled in politics, is clearly not working. You cannot change world economics but you...
