A fund to TACKLE landlords, it makes it feel like a "them and us" situation... as if all landlords are evil and all tenants as pure as driven snow. No landlords = no property to rent, where would all these...

Reply to the comment left by Paul La Plain at 16/03/2026 - 14:06Yes, probably will have to pay tax each quarter. But it maybe a better system! As really we already pay "up front" with payments on account in July...

Just had email from HMRC Help and Support regarding using MTD. If I read it correctly, the following applies: you would need to use MTD from: April 2026 if your qualifying income in the tax year 2024-25 is over £50k....

The tenancy does not die when the tenant dies. It forms part of the deceased estate. Usually the next of kin gives landlord notice to end tenancy. Rent is payable until landlord has possession, so next of kin are usually...

So items were left in property when new tenant moved in, were items listed on ingoing inventory? Why did tenant not just tell agent and ask for items to be removed? Also removing fixtures without permission. Dumping stuff on neighbours...

It may become the norm for a tenant to challenge rent via Rent Tribunal. Even if just to delay the rise for few months. I wonder if there will a fee for applying to RT ? If so, how much?...

Reply to the comment left by Ofer Moses at 31/01/2026 - 11:42Have to ensure plenty of date stamped photos/video are taken before they move in, at 6 month inspections and again before a rent increase is issued! Can imagine any...

Reply to the comment left by Dylan Morris at 30/01/2026 - 14:34Hopefully!! But check with your assessor nearer the time in case things change or this little loop hole is closed! Could even be different government by then....

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 30/01/2026 - 10:48If I understood correctly in webinar, £10k is total spend to cover everything. Say you spent £3k on first section "the fabric" so insulation and double glazing, then went...

Reply to the comment left by Dylan Morris at 30/01/2026 - 12:01Chap running webinar said : If you get the properties epc tested before 2029 (even if the epc's aren't due) the assessor will use the current standard and as...

Would comment that fitting a new gas or oil boiler will not help when new EPC comes in October 2029. Attended webinar yesterday re new EPC's. Learnt this: new EPC will be prepared on a 'Home Energy Model' which is...

Reading this it seems to confirm my long held theory that Government would like to ban all private landlords and only allow people to rent from professional landlords, such as Housing Associations, Councils and BTR. However, they can't ban us...

Reply to the comment left by Gunga Din at 30/12/2025 - 09:48Not all properties are in a selective licensing area. The database applies to ALL landlords and should include all their properties. Whereas the selective licence only applies to some...

I have read it somewhere. We have HMO licence, maybe in there. The article refers to HMO landlords and letting agents. Does the council have a register of non HMO landlords in its area? Our property is in Wales where...
