Renters rush to move in the next six months

22nd January 2025, 1 year ago

No deposit and insurance for longer periods of rent sounds great. However, it means that the Tenant has no fault if he or she defaults. No skin in the game I'm putting in 25% of the purchase price, the stamp...

I regret I do not agree with Mark Alexander, The biggest problem and danger for us all is the Renters Rights Bill. Worrying about anything else is like moving the furniture around when the house is on fire, The biggest...

I'm sorry to say Mark Alexander and Cider Drinker seem to misunderstand how this problem happened The manufacturers of the cladding failed to take manufacture fireproof cladding. The building regulations set certain standard. The cladding was specified to builders and...

As a lawyer, I support what Mark says, However I don't want to give my hard earned cash to a bottomless pit. I suggest that you stop trading Mark and set up property 118 2024 or similar. All of us...

Thanks for your comment, but please can you tell me where I can find evidence of what you say? About the CIA. Of course seeing someone's allegation without evidence is worthless, isn't it? Can you point me to the evidence...

Landlords – Who gets your vote?

6th January 2024, 2 years ago

Conservatives left of centre. How come? Please explain which policies are left. Granted unfortunately some are against what we might want as landlords. If you think voting for Reform might be a good idea, why is that? Do you know...
