Well Mr Corbyn, let’s see what your stupid government has done so far, along with the idiotic Tories. An increase in stamp duty surcharge of 66% Reduction in sdlt thresholds about to hit us. Double council tax or worse on...
I blame Ben Beadle and the NRLA for this farce in the PRS. His organisation’s response is pathetic! He should be using language so fierce against politicians that they should think he’s Tommy Robinsons twin brother! Landlords have been discriminated...
I’m amazed that people read what Reform are offering and people still think that voting for the usual parties is going to change the fate of the PRS. You’ve just come through all the main parties telling the public that...
The whole political approach to housing is ridiculous. It involves punishing investors with taxation, (section 24), punishment of landlords, (unlimited fines), unlimited legislation, unreasonable legal repossession methods, restrictions on claiming legitimate expenses, taxation surcharges, planning restrictions, right to rent a...
If you went on Dragons Den and ‘pitched’ this current and proposed business model and exit plan, they’d laugh at you and wouldn’t invest a dime. Rent out a hire car or machinery and get away without paying, damaging the...
More anti landlord hate speech from Khan. If landlords were a race, he’d never get away with this sort of rhetoric and discrimination. Eg: I’m calling for double fines for Blacks or Muslims who rent out houses that develop mould...
The whole thing was planned by the Tories from day 1. Their chums at the banks are to become the country’s landlords, they have even already announced it. Removal of allowances Section 24 LHA frozen Compliance costs License Fees Empty...
The day I become a rape victim of a tenant, will be my last day as a residential landlord and that cannot happen quickly enough. The persons coming up with this idea can give the homeless tenants directions to the...
Why is he called Julie? That aside, too little to late. Does it never occur to anyone in charge of a government department that you can’t buck the market? If I get taxed to pay a cost, I won’t work...
Reply to the comment left by John Clark at 17/06/2023 - 14:34The rent is a ‘gross income’ and bears no relation to taxable income, which for all businesses should be Nett Profits, but for landlords is now (nett profits +...
I’m sick to death of this narrative because it’s absurd. I entered the market because unlike the residential market my guests can’t take the p. 1. I get paid upfront 2. I don’t get taxed on loan interest 3. I...
Mr Cobbold has obviously swallowed his masters dog biscuit, started to wag his tail and obviously wants some more attention. The abolition of getting your property back without a court hearing is what is actually happening. I’ve taken many bloody...
I’ll keep this simple. This government are taking the p with benefit tenants. The payments are the 30th percentile of local rents! They’ve been frozen for years. They are unreliable. You can’t discuss the issues with the UC dept. The...
I was talking to a Licensing officer of Cheshire East Council earlier this week and the intentions of them seem quite clear. They no longer want amateurs or anybody else that are not running a professional business and management of...
So if I understand this correctly, this will now offer the potential of giving an army of lawyers, the unique opportunity, to turn on the PRS and tie most landlords up in knots of litigation. It all sounds so noble,...
Cheshire East Council are now insisting on a basic DBS check also. Apparently I'm on the run for licking my wife's ice cream choc-ice, in Blackpool, in 1983. I never knew I was an arch criminal and being chased by...
Cheshire East council are also asking for all licensing details and licenses already obtained by any landlord throughout the UK that are applying for a license through them. I had no idea that it was deemed illegal to do so.
I am quite honestly sick to death of this organisation virtue signalling, instead of getting on with what it should be doing, which is promoting and campaigning for measures against rogue tenants, who systematically ruin the lives of good, honest,...
