Sorry has P118 made a terrible error here reporting drops of 20% in London? Tell me where these drops are so I can buy! According to Halifax - London is up 3.5% Yoy at little under the highest it has...
Am disappointed in the large amount of blind support for Reform when nobody knows what their landlord policies are. Im sure all 1.8m of us mostly voted Conservative in 2015 but we had no idea they were on the path...
Biggest concern I have with so many landlords exiting the market, is the rents will have to shoot up and what the government will do to us as a result. Right now I have just had a shock 20% rise...
Agree that BG is not what is was - the convenience was that I always seem to get calls in the middle of coldest winter night from a tenant saying a boiler has failed and you can call BG them...
Reply to the comment left by Chris @ Possession Friend at 05/06/2021 - 12:53Chris - What is the "FACT" - that there are more non-whites than whites in some London boroughs? What is the relevance of this to the debate?...
Reply to the comment left by Chris @ Possession Friend at 03/06/2021 - 08:50Chris - your comment about London race ratios is completely irrelevant and frankly quite offensive and detracts from the rest of your point which has some validity....
Is this basically a Beneficial Interest trust which has been around for a while but advisors seem to shun it on the ground that HMRC wont like it but now it seens they do? Also if this was released in...

Its a real worry now - tenants are starting to learn that they can get away with potentially 2 years rent free and of course, the governmnet doesn't give a ****. The best case is that the vaccine works and...
I've been through one nasty eviction and just on a 2nd. Just remember that final rental losses will escalate far more than the first 6 months that the S12 or S8 needs. Think of the backlog in the courts April...
I've found pets can leave behind fleas, dander and other things that can trigger allergies with following new tenants. There does not seem to be a comprehensve post tenancy pet cleaning service either - you have to hope that carpet...
Reply to the comment left by Happy Landlord at 08/10/2020 - 10:53Think you need to think of the new world going forward. All political parties have now deserted the landlord vote - the last party - the Tories - have...
Well this is great news for Welsh landlords and well done NRLA - especially getting the money direct to the landlord. However, what's the chance of seeing this in England? I've been really patient with one of mine who is...

Sorry I should also add a general rule about personal guarantors - don't ever sign with such a guarantor in Scotland if you are in England/Wales - different legal system means that a Scottish guarantor can obstruct an English small...
You can also take rent in advance e.g. 6 months in advance but if you, you must must must be clear that at month 4, you collect the next 6 months rent. Do this for a year or so until...
This is a scary prospect and one that is very likely to land as Sadiq is very likely to be re-elected and his people are saying 68% of Londoners want rent controls - even though rent is flat in London...
