I think the articles reflect the mood and concerns of the landlords making up the PRS. Difficult times will lead to some negative stories. We shouldn't be sugarcoating things.

The stockmarket, especially the US market is way overvalued and is due a massive correction anyway.. buyer beware! I wrote this on 19 February 2025 in reply to a piece on the pound at that time. "Still time to buy...

Somebody has to pay anyway .Would a benevolent private landlord pay in your example? As a B2L landlord with several leasehold flats I can't wait to move away from the archaic system to commonhold and mirror what happens in most...

The truth is every major economy is more or less in the same boat, incl the USA and Japan! There are no clean shirts in the global currency basket.. gold price is showing this! Still time to buy precious metals...

Article you link to say gold outperformed S&P this year to date anyway, and that is when it was at '5,215'. You may have seen that it's now at circa 4700. I know where I prefer to keep some savings.....

Reply to the comment left by Ed Regent at 19/04/2024 - 16:48This must be wrong then. https://www.fxstreet.com/analysis/gold-has-outperformed-the-sp-500-in-the-21st-century-202401091710 Also S&P undergoing correction which will very likely continue. Just look at the geopolitics!!

Good to diversify and for me this includes BTL property and stocks. Never sure why people don't mention GOLD as a long term investment. Beats the stock market, even the crazy valuations of the S&P, since 2000. Sleep easier at...

Reply to the comment left by Arthur Oxford at 02/02/2024 - 09:59Likewise shocked and disappointed that he came back into Government. Shows lack of leadership and depth of talent. God help us!

He's one of the worst of the smarmy politicians. Sways with the wind, smiles and no action! I wouldn't trust a word he's saying. Why didn't he a least raise these concerns whilst in office? He did more harm than...

Glad that we're seeing a more understanding approach from Gove. Jenrick was the worst minister imaginable.

Indeed a thankless task, especially as solving the cladding/fire safety scandal facing hundreds of thousands of people has to be high on his priorities too (strange that it's not even mentioned above!)

When you link this to building safety and the cladding scandal you can see how these charges are going through the roof as waking watch and obscene insurance costs are added. I would never, ever, ever buy or recommend anybody...

Reply to the comment left by Shining Wit at 21/04/2021 - 14:31That's a very insightful response. Thanks, I didn't know about the Australian model. Why are government ignoring this solution here then?

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 15/04/2021 - 10:26Interesting to get your further thoughts Ian. I know it’s a very difficult problem to solve, but in my view it should not be one that is resolved by...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 13/04/2021 - 10:28Ian I wonder if you are having to 'tough' this one out yourself? Are you a resident in a flat affected by these issues, or perhaps a landlord who...

Reply to the comment left by Shining Wit at 10/04/2021 - 14:08Thanks for updating Property118 readers about this. I'm amazed how it hasn't been a bigger topic of conversation on here. Perhaps there aren't many landlords affected by it? Perhaps...

Hello Richard, you seem to be in a similar boat to me on cladding/fire safety (on sh*t creek and with a very tiny paddle) and I'm glad you've raised the question. I don't have an answer sadly as I'm not...
