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...

Or. Is this an uptick as the last of the s21s kick in. I'm sure many may have repossessed from a T in arrears. Because of the deadline under RRA, where before they may have looked at alternatives.

Where have the 460 and 370 K figures come from.? If measuring g rent vs a .mortgage paid off then,what about maintainance,new kitchens and carpets, re Dec etc that LLs perform. If not included mo wonder the figures are so...

'Mr Smith said a tribunal cannot award more than the figure entered on the Section 13 notice, although requesting less than the evidence supports could demonstrate that a landlord has taken a reasonable approach.' Which if followed, will in time...

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

As both a freeholder of houses and a block of flats in addition to being a leaseholder elsewhere. Increases can only match inflation - and that's the particular inflation rate for that service or activity or product, which is often...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 09/07/2026 - 12:01Mate. I believe you are missing a point. Whilst the courts 'may' set case law later. The year and it can be 53 weeks is just that. Ts claim...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 09/07/2026 - 11:26In preparation we have issued Rent Review letters for the last two years. We evidence the 'requieement' for annual reviews that is contained within RRB now RRA. It got...

Reply to the comment left by Desert Rat at 12/05/2026 - 22:23Genuinly. If the EPC is going to 'fail'. Why keep it? There will be a plethera of properties with low EPCs coming to market as the implementation date draws...

'Freeze'. Surely a freeze would maintain something at its current 'cost'. Therfore any increase only in line with whatever inflation (or decrease in line with deflation) is a 'freeze'. When there is inflation and any of; benefits, wages, pensions et...

I'm not sure. 7th May local elections coming. They need something to act as a 'rabbit out of the hat'. That said Rent Contrils ARE inevitable as all the other never have been pulled. I just thought they would be...
