I had a landlord visit me last night from Sheffield. They have 28 rentals with two currently for sale, the rest to follow. These ridiculous Baroness this , Lord that ,pontificating and grandstanding, spouting out nonsense that they know nothing...
My last tenants to leave, a professional couple who had two children whilst renting from me. They were both teachers and were with me for 9 years. I never increased the rent and always made repairs as required. When they...
Perhaps this charity whilst they are at it could provide the tenants with their obligation, pay the rent, be respectful,no antisocial behaviour and don’t trash the property.
They are all grandstanding in an election year. Probably knowing that what they espouse will further damage the rental market ,the economy and the supply of housing, but hell if they get a few votes who cares. Another dangerous precedent...
I know of a few friends who used simple schemes. The tenants that the council put in were the worse of the worse. They all had history of problem behaviour,been previously evicted and when they eventually left the house was...
My experience of letting to a friend,a friend of a friend, the daughter of a friend etc. have always proved disastrous. I now keep well away and leave it all to an agent. All “friends” expect a discount and eventually...
Today I would never advise a friend or acquaintance to get into the property business. I have been in it for over 30 years and in that time I have housed schizophrenics, alcoholics,doctors, nurses,students etc. I have of course seen...
This is just tinkering around the edges, the rental supply will just wither and die in the coming years. Where is the incentive?,there is none. The proposed impending laws are all tenant focused, well you can have all the tenant...
I wonder how many of those homeless were caused by Shelter and the rest of the “charities”. Often wonder if they reflect on this? ,but as their very existence depends on demonising landlords , concocting dubious statistics and shouting about...
Have a look at Mr. Betts on Wikipedia. Interesting items about employing his partner, flipping houses ,expenses etc. Not a paragon of virtue. Still, slagging off us landlords is a good political point scoring exercise.
This constant demonisation of landlords eventually permeates down to tenants. They end up being resentful and hostile towards the landlord who provides them with a home. This invariably leads to a lack of respect for the property and hostility toward...
An excellent manifesto for the total disintegration of the P.R.S. What would follow this idiotic manifesto would be hundreds of thousands homeless, skyrocketing rents, destruction of any new investment and students not being able to take up university education. Perhaps...
I let out a high end flat to a couple,both doctors. Following an argument between them plod was called,no answer, they had gone to the pub. Plod broke down front fire door, broke locks and surrounding frame. Flat in a...
Shelter are becoming ridiculous with their increasing idiotic “research”. Seems like they have to come up with more and more alarmist rhetoric to get themselves noticed. They certainly are not helping tenants, sorry here in Wales we now have to...

Stay well clear of the rental market until we see what a labour victory brings. It’s no way as enticing as it was.
