I would remind all commenters - especially ‘Dismayed Landlord’ - this is a public forum. Our enemies will read what you say and use quotes from landlords to support actions to attack us. You can unwittingly fuel the fire of...

£13000 in debt and not the only landlord?

22nd December 2023, 2 years ago

It appears to me to be one big fraud. So report to Police. As multiple landlords involved and no money ever paid, it shows deception / dishonesty on the part of the agent. Plus the fact he’s done a runner...

Does anyone else wish we could go back to good old common sense? All these rules and legislation is interfering far too much in all our daily lives. (In housing especially). What does it matter? Why does it all have...

I personally saw this unfolding from the start. As soon as Gov concocted the whole stupid epc thing I knew where we were headed - a right royal F***Up. You cannot pigeon hole every uk building on a points based...

Reply to the comment left by Kate Mellor at 10/01/2023 - 13:22I would love to see that law / rule in writing. I’m pretty sure all councils will demand from landlord (often by taking it out of payments for other...

HB and UC claimants never seem to score highly enough on my vetting criteria for many of these reasons. But a big one - often overlooked - is even if rent if paid direct to landlord - they can claw...

Electricity sub meters – share payment?

3rd January 2023, 3 years ago

If any tenant queries this situation - remind them that having 1 meter split between 5 means only 1 payment of daily service split 5 ways. This can be around 50p per day. (£182 per year). So each of the...

Our city is facing a rent crisis

24th February 2022, 4 years ago

So not a biased summit in any way then. Rents increasing, So - Lack of supply and shortage of accessible housing are all going to be sorted by this summit with ‘a focus on enforcement’ and ‘what form of rent...

No. No. No. Another desperate con trick to snare unsuspecting landlords. Councils & Gov.uk encouraged by Shelter & co have whipped landlords tirelessly with all the unjust fines / licensing / tax hits / legislation and now want our help!?...

Once you know theres no fear of a claim being held against you. Keep writing with a simple query. Waste their time and money. These parasite solicitors working for parasite clients should be run ragged answering letters and re-contacting their...

Reply to the comment left by land law at 16/10/2021 - 10:53My point is that all those can be achieved far more simply. And the system we have now doesn’t necessarily achieve that,(especially courts and councils). Its great business for...

Is anyone else reading this thinking- ‘what a load of unnecessary rubbish’? How did we get to the state where all this sort of rubbish is normal. The whole country is bogged down with too much of this sort of...

Application for permitted development? No permission required - its ‘Permitted’. (Even though website is riddled with “best ask anyway”.). The rules should be clear and comprehensive from the start - not wishy washy. ‘Probably ok but ask anyway”. Conservation areas...

Will the ICO sanction my companies?

12th June 2021, 5 years ago

Puzzler. I cant see how you come to that conclusion. Q 3 …. Word ‘electronic’ Q8……even if electronic…. Only for those purposes In either case does NOT require licence.

The stupidity on this and many other issues is becoming unbearable. You couldn't make it up! Debate about points like this - is there any common sense left in the world? The silence from our ‘supporting’ bodies is deafening! The...

Will the ICO sanction my companies?

8th June 2021, 5 years ago

Neil, it is only a requirement to have a licence if ELECTRONIC data is processed. I have the same issues with the ICO letters full of what I am ‘required’ ‘must’ or ‘need’ to do. Even on the page to...

Its all very well - us all commenting on here..... we all agree Shelter is twisting facts and statistics to suit its socialist aims. But you have to hand it to them - they are playing the game really well....

Su, great question. Like you I saw from the start of EPC roll out that this was likely to be a huge problem. Not just because of the nature of the UK housing stock but because of the inevitable cock...
