Well said Mark. There clearly IS some ulterior motive here. Considering the TPA claims to be about bringing good tax policy and awareness of tax to both politicians and public, you’d expect Neidle to be yelling from the rooftops about...

Ruth Jacob sounds like a bundle of laughs! Surely she hasn’t spotted that it was a couple of previous policy officers at Shelter, not to mention CEO Campbell Robb, that wrote enthusiastically supporting the govt with Section 24 and their...

Oh come now, Gromit, to be fair to Dave he hasn’t even got as far as trying to rubbish another point of view - all he’s done so far is stick his fingers in his ears and go ‘lalalalalalal-la-la-laaaaaaaaaa’ etc.

Well I've got a couple of bananas here if you want them, Dave. Any chance of you answering any of my previous points? Y'know, maybe using a rational and referenceable fact, or even just an informed counter-argument?? Let's start with...

Or you could deal with the provable facts rather than your invented and misguided hypothesis?

Reply to the comment left by Neil Patterson at 09/05/2022 - 09:00Indeed Neil. Back to the subject. I had never, ever worried about the BOE. My very earliest investment purchase was during the 15% era, so I’ve seen it all....

You’re an absolute prize-winner, Dave. So many false assumptions, so little knowledge of facts. 1. There has never ever been a situation, ever, where landlords are buying 90% of the housing stock, let alone for cash. In fact, even at...

Reply to the comment left by Paul landlord at 08/03/2021 - 19:05I cannot believe this is correct, unless something has changed very recently. I was an NLA adviser for 10 years and still run accreditation courses for them. We have...

There is a fundamental flaw in your comment that the anti-landlords also seem oblivious to. The rental market is not a zero-sum game. If a tenant buys, it paradoxically does not necessarily (nor at all in reality) reduce the rental...

It would be nice if somebody, somewhere, were willing to properly stand up for landlords with the most robust of defences against all attacks, and preferably a legal challenge which both the govt and barrister Giles Peaker have accepted seem...

I know the answer. I thought that was bonkers figures too, so contacted Hamptons. They told me it was because many of the amateur landlords selling are joint owners - husbands & wives usually, but often other family members too...

Bloody right! This is a great start and just the kind of thing the politicians should be listening to! Not much to criticise here.

Worst letter ever for getting the govt to see the folly of rising rents and homelessness. Surely not written by Fergus Wilson?

Reply to the comment left by Mark Smith (Barrister-At-Law) at 02/09/2019 - 20:38‘Except in the public interest’ and ‘conditions provided for by law’ are the get-out clauses to be wary of, I feel.

He says his street is blighted by 1/3 houses badly-maintained by RTB (implication: landlords) but his neighbours tell a different story: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7419549/John-McDonnells-neighbours-deny-claim-street-badly-maintained-overcrowded-homes.html

Love this list. Love it. Oh for a government that would implement it!

I have two families who have been with me more than a decade. They pay rent ok but the houses are terribly kept, by far and away the worst in the portfolio and nothing like the condition I handed them...

So you haven’t even replaced a cupboard door in 22 years?? One can only imagine how outdated your properties must be! What about your carpets or decor or styles - the decent homes standard says a kitchen mustn’t be more...
