“The assessor must consider the likelihood of harm for someone in the most vulnerable age group rather than the actual occupant." Taken to its logical conclusion I take it we 'may' have to make all properties suitable for a tenant...

Reply to the comment left by Steve Rose at 15/09/2026 - 11:33Its the date the new rental came into 'effect'. Not the day the tribunal reassessed it. Therefore in effect you/we will always be a flowing (say) 6 months behind.

Responding to the government’s announcement that HM Revenue and Customs’ Valuation Office will be responsible for decisions on challenges to rent increases in England, I strongly suspect there is a major hidden agenda here.

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 01/09/2026 - 08:09I really don't think they get it. It WILL become a tenancy database. And the more they press for additional detail the more it will become a useful tool...

Reply to the comment left by Mr Blueberry at 24/08/2026 - 08:20Surely. This in a business opportunity. I'm not sure if a LL could do this themselves. Set up an 'arms length' guarentor company. It should not be too difficult...

Not sure how it posted. Issues of a mobilephone. Anyway. 2. The LL and rental property database means the former LL can easily be contacted for a reference.Provided we all 'play the game' that's a 'game changer'.

There is now a growing tenant database. 1. The only legal repossession route other than voluntary termination is s8. That is on record and can be found during the due diligence process

So. As the freeholder (and separately leaseholders) of a block which is self managed I assume we fall under this as the two companies are legally separate entities. Anyone know?

The mere fact that ALL LLs and properties need to be registered means a potential LL can easily contact the one the potential T says they were renting from. Basically a database in all but name
