If landlords were taxi drivers?

2nd July 2024, 2 years ago

Brilliant analogy. It make you realise just how unfairly landlords are treated towards other businesses. We've been beaten down that much and that often I think many landlords have become numb to the pain and damage inflicted. It's almost like...

Labour are certain to win, hopefully not by a huge majority, and they will be a desaster for the prs and the economy. Anyone thinking Cons are going to win are living in cloud cuckoo land. Why vote for the...

Absolutely..they know they can bully us around because we are basically a small minority with a weak toothless representation.

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 27/05/2024 - 08:38As much as I also want Reform to win I very much doubt they will get many seats, let alone get in. We're going to get lumbered with Labour...

Labour will be a disaster for the country, landlords AND tenants. Tories have zero chance of getting back in we all know it, they have been the worst Conservative government ever! Might as well vote Reform, they have got lots...

Anyone who trusts any council or the government is a gullible fool, I've been on this planet long enough to show plenty of scars.

So as per usual, councils and government departments condoning bad and criminal behaviour whilst making law abiding workers, small businesses and tax payers to foot the bill and put up with all the bulls##t. Or are Torbay council actually going...

Reply to the comment left by Grumpy Doug at 29/12/2023 - 17:56Exactly...I was able to dump 15 desperate tennants with less than perfect applications in the bin. 5 of which were really good and would once had priority but the...

This is something I've been thinking of trying and land with storage/shipping units. Its all looks much less work, regulations and stress. Lack of knowledge, sutible areas, availability, land prices and higher commercial mortgage deposits are stumbling blocks, along with...

Absolutely spot on.. Get the feckless working, instead of constantly flooding us with unwanted, low wage, low skilled imagrants with fake qualifications. They are driving us all deeper into a low wage economy and a country overburdened with housing, NHS...

Landlords – Who gets your vote?

6th January 2024, 2 years ago

Most of the time I've voted Conservative. Labour always seem to eventually run the country into the ground and tax everything to bu###ry. Conservatives are just as bad now and i can hardly see anything difference in policys, so whats...

Reply to the comment left by Fed Up Landlord at 12/12/2023 - 17:17Usual story, but with Goves moronic reasoning and policy, its your fault and you will be the one to blame! And if it ever goes to court no...

I can think of so many "appalling" things this government has done to tennants AND landlords, scrapping EPC targets is not one of them. Not had one tennant ask or give a toss about it. And so many houses are...

There's been a lot of suggestions from those in the know it's all deliberate, no borders, no nations, and total control of all citizens at any cost.

Its IMMIGRATION, Not migration. Migration is people coming for a short while then going back home or crossing various borders. Immigration is people basically staying for good. Clearly as our population has increased by millions in ten years its not...

I would not feel bad with having to do whatever you can to keep sane and scrape something out for your financial wellbeing. We have all been vilified and dumped on by the government, shelter, and bad tennants, while most...

The mold issue is another case of minsters either ignoring the facts, or being totally ignorant. I had a tennant in a damp free house who never opened windows and was drying clothes indoors, soon damp started appearing, luckily he...
