It's not just a 2% rise though is it. It's taking the tax rate up from 20% to 22% for a basic rate tax payer, which is 10% more tax each year, and from 40% to 42% for a higher...

Reply to the comment left by Mark Alexander - Founder of Property118 at 11/12/2025 - 17:10This is a very real risk where we can expect very real examples. You want £1,000 pcm for your house, and use an estate agency...

Another possibility is that ithe flats are in a location which requires a Selective Licence. If the landlord did not have such a licence, then tenants can apply for up to 12 months rent back if they obtain a Rent...

Reply to the comment left by Cathie French at 22/11/2025 - 11:54Cathy, it sounds to me like you need to get professional advise. If the other people live in seperate flats, with their own lockable front doors then this sounds...

I only have one property within the Nottingham Selective Licensing Scheme area, and I can confirm that I passed the entire cost of the licence to my tenant, who had to give me notice after 10 years as she could...

Of course, the obvious solution for landlords will be to fill any unexpectedly vacated rooms with one of the illegals, so we will end up with student houses which have a mixture of students and boat people. Imagine sending your...

If a prospective tenant came to me, explaining that they needed a home whilst the council sorted out damp in theirs, I would be an idiot to rent my house to them, unless it was absolutely clear and unequivocal that...

Their Impact Assessment explains that Landlords are unlikely to inflate the advertised rents to circumvent bidding wars, as this is likely to lead to increased VOID periods. I think it is more likely that rents will now be advertised higher...

Reply to the comment left by Graham Bowcock at 04/10/2025 - 15:29Those ONS figures provide the local rent prices, not the general market. It varies considerably according to which area you are in. Maybe NI on property income will be...

It is a sad reflection of the RRB, combined with all the other regulation and the likelihood that I will have to pay National Insurance after the next budget, that means that we all have to maximise our incomes; no...

Reply to the comment left by Abhishek Swarup at 04/09/2025 - 06:34There are plenty of prospective tenants who can afford to pay substantially higher rent. Every time I put a house up for rent, I push the rent up to...

The real reasons that councils don't replace homes that are bought under the 'Right to Buy' scheme is that it is just not economically viable to build and maintain council houses. Regulation, such as Awabs Law makes the Councils liable...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 12/02/2025 - 07:09When the Renters Rights/Reform Bill comes into effect, any 'breaches of tenancy' won't have any bearing as you won't be able to repossess unless either they fall 4 months...
