You wrote "And the date itself must fall on the first day of a rental period, not mid-month, not a random date, the first day of the period on which rent is due." Some of my tenants paid eg 1...

I appreciate that you want to analyse your survey results, but your survey was of less that 2,500 Landords, so I feel the title of 'most landlords' is a little premature. Its fair to look at results but I think...

Help with refused HMO licence?

12th November 2025, 5 months ago

Have you viewed their rules. These may be online. If not, I'd be asking for a copy of them rules, so you can check what you are being told. If there is an Article 4 directive in force, you may...

What does your tenancy agreement say about maintaining the garden? Your post is unclear what type of communal garden. Is this the Freeholders garden, a HMO garden? I think these are important points affecting the advice given.

Reply to the comment left by Simon F at 09/05/2025 - 13:19You may be right, and sound very knowledgeable. However, I cant help thinking there must be a precident for this scenario. Tenants will have to move out of their...

I'd be tenpted to agree with DPT. The tenancy agreement still covers her 'main home'. ie the temporary one provided by the Landlords insurers whilst the Let property was unoccupiable. I'd suggest that she has a right to move back...

If she is just paying 4 days late, this is really not an issue. Her payment date stays as the 8th monthly, so dont agree any change to this in writing, but if she is paying on the 12th, no...

Paul Cunningham, chair of the Eastern Landlords’ Association.... This guy is in competition with NRLA. He is hardly going to be complimentary to them is he.

I watched the first couple of hours of the Lords debate, and found it presented many varied arguments both for / against the bill, and for / against various new possible amendments. Whilst there were some calls for tighter controls,...

Has the NRLA lost its way?

11th November 2024, 1 year ago

Other than NRLA, The Guild of Residential Landlords are the only other Landlord Association which has submitted written evidence to the Committee Stage of the Renters Rights Bill. https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3764/publications I'm not saying NRLA is perfect, but anyone promoting any other...

But is being VAT registered an advantage? Surely if private Landlord charges £1,000 pm rent, they keep £1,000. Whereas the VAT registered landlord, must pay over £166.67 in VAT charged. ie £833.33 + vat of £166.67 = £1,000. ??

My view is that many landlords have accepted lower rents on the basis that they are also accumulating capital growth. If this growth is taken away, the Landlord has little option but to make as much profit now as they...

Is it fair to split bills with my lodgers?

9th September 2024, 2 years ago

In order to save themselves money, be prepared for your tenants asking you to; 1) turn the heating off 2) have shorter showers etc..etc This could back fire to mean you cant do in your own house what you want...

I don’t have a problem with CGT being changed, but feel the tax should be calculated on gains, taking into consideration inflation. For example, if I bought a house for £100k, and after 5 years its now worth £115K. I’ve...

Reply to the comment left by Chris Mills at 31/07/2024 - 14:18You did what!? Wow. You have no idea what inflation will do over 5 years, as the value of your rent reduces in real terms. You need the flexibility...
