Croydon are again looking to introduce SL, having been denied a second scheme in 2020 because they couldn't evidence where the millions in fees were spent. According to Croydon's figures from FOI responses, they have received between 1100 and 1500...

If a LL gets fined £10K/£20K/£30K for a breach, that's £10K/£20K/£30K they haven't got to "raise the housing standards in the borough". LL makes a loss after the fine, decides to sell, S8 notice to tenant, long wait for court/bailiffs,...

Thank you to all those super-helpful people who offered their advice/thoughts. I eventually heard back from Croydon council who insist it will be a HMO as "The property is intended to house three occupants at any given time; therefore, it...

Perhaps yourself and Steve (OP) can draft something to circulate on P118 for input? I have tried to write something along these lines but there are so many issues with so many repercussions to try to explain, that it starts...

This is what I've been wondering too. What if a tenant doesn't even look for alternative accommodation after receiving a S21 and then claims "hardship" as they have nowhere to go? How do we prove they haven't looked (or how...

Could someone please provide me with the wording they use in their AST regarding recovering court/eviction proceeding costs? Our tenant asked us for a S21 and I warned her that she would have to pay the costs, but we don't...

I just discovered that one of the companies involved in the SL scheme proposal for Lambeth, who are credited with supplying the stats that "justify" the need for SL, is Metastreet. Metastreet is the private company who supply councils with...

Reply to the comment left by Darren Peters at 04/03/2024 - 11:12What is the evidence that SL has caused: higher house prices, lower anti-social behaviour and better energy efficiency? Surely higher house prices is the opposite of what the council...

I have emailed NRLA via their site. Tenant asked us for S21 which we issued on 10th November, expires next week. The council emailed her 12th Dec to say she has a phone interview with the Homelessness Prevention team tomorrow...

There's an article in the Independent on a family who were on the priority list in Lambeth for 6 years. When they got their council flat they had the first week without heating/boiler. There was a massive leak from upstairs...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 28/07/2023 - 14:20Has the government (or anybody) said that they will scrap licensing schemes and HMO registers when the Portal & Ombudsman come online? It makes no sense to have both...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Brand at 23/02/2023 - 11:50Do they not realise that by stating the need for another 5 year SL scheme due to ASB/property condition etc, they're admitting that the last 5-year scheme didn't work?...

Hi DSR, Our properties are unfurnished, except we provide carpets in bedrooms, upper hall and stairs, and we also supply washing machines, fridge freezers, dishwashers, ovens, hobs & extractors. If we do buy another BTL, we won't provide washing machines,...

Our BTL mortgage prevents renting to benefits tenants, and insurance, if you can get it, is more expensive due to increased risk.

We've just done a full refurb after tenants left the house very scruffy, dirty and somewhat damaged. They had ruined the garden so we took the opportunity to upgrade it, they'd burned the carpet so it had to be replaced,...
