Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 03/03/2025 - 13:42I see what you say about council houses being too expensive to maintain in the 1960s and 1970s. I expect you are right. But where is the evidence please?...
The other thing is that under the new rules there will need to be three months arrears before you can apply for possession and as I understand it still three months outstanding when the case is heard. Nobody says that....
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...
As a Landlord I don't see this as a problem. Why shouldn't we have EPC at C? We've known about it long enough. Why should the Tenant pay? If the finance does not stack up then sell up. Hopefully to...

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...
I have no idea whether this scheme is effective. However I see one person says it takes a long time to get probate. I'm surprised. However there is what may be an important point: A Will takes effect on death...
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...
The remainder of my comment was deleted If I understand correctly the tenancy expires with no new agreement signed, a rolling statutory tenancy will come into existence. But with the rent at the last day of the term. For any...
I am thinking of granting an AST for three years. It will have a tenants break clause on the first anniversary and at any time thereafter by three months notice The rent would be initially x and become x plus...
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...
Reply to the comment left by Luke P at 09/06/2023 - 10:26I think this sewage point is a good one. But if we are to persuade people that what is said is correct, and that it proves there are 100m...

This is utter drivel. How many people were surveyed? In which areas? Age Group? Sex? Jobs? Over what period surveyed? How?
