Landlord with a small portfolio of properties who is feeling oppressed with all the changes to landlord legislation.
24th June 2024, 2 years ago
I can't understand why they don't leave everything alone for those contracts that are already in place. Tenants can choose if they wish to move house and enter a new contract and landlords can choose whether to evict and thus...

We did exactly what the first response said. One of our tennants hadn't ever had an increase in 15 years and was massively below local rents, she was paying the same rent for a 4 bed as for a 2...

As landlords with a small handful of properties we really are considering selling each property as the tenants choose to leave. Too many rules and too many potential fines. We just need a new venture......

Well done Mick. Hopefully other councils will see the selective licencing in Nottingham crash and burn and decide not to make their tenants and landlords suffer the same fate. We are on the Derby/Notts border and we wouldn't buy a...

Reply to the comment left by Penny Lyon at 30/03/2021 - 13:28The original article may have been about councils uncovering landlords who own properties with a rating of F and G and not landlords who don't have an EPC, but...

Gunga Din. From 1 April 2020, all domestic lettings (including existing) must achieve an “E” rating or better """"BUT ONLY IF"""" they have ever had a rating (and this is where I defeated the council as my property has never...

Exactly my point Luke. My rental in question has UPVC windows and doors, 300mm loft insulation and a condensing boiler already. Getting this to a C could be a struggle without tens of thousands of outlay for solid wall insulation...

I was recently sent a compliance notice to get an EPC or face a £5000 fine. Our council was used for the pilot scheme to test whether pursuing these kind of fines was viable. I was given 32 days to...

I don't even have any non paying renters and I'm terrified by all the legislation changes. I recently recieved a council compliance notice for one of my properties with a £5000 fine attached if I didn't do what they wanted....

So a tenant can move whoever they like into your rental house without asking, or getting any permission and then you can potentially get stuck with someone in your house, whose name you do not know, who has not had...

I'm very interested in the legalities of this as I have two sets of tenants who have put me in exactly this position. I have spoken to the NRLA about mine but only from the viewpoint of whether I need...

I'm waiting to see if the green deal will be withdrawn on Wednesday with the budget changes. I've taken to dreading the budget.

Wow, 45 free boilers, golly. I've never got a single thing for free ever. Current green deal is they will cover 2/3 cost up to a £5k cap so if a landlords bill is a £7500 they get £5000 back....

I totally agree that there are simply some houses that are not worth bringing up to a C rating as the time, energy and cost is just not worth it and it's not like we see the gain from this...

That is absolutely shameful. Why are all these councils able to continue causing all of this stress and angst. They drop a bomb, then they go home and don't give it a second thought whilst they are leaving landlords with...

I guess the devil is in the interpretation. Gotta love the lax wording of government documents that allow councils to interpret legislation badly oppressing landlords to accept what they say due to lack of time or energy or funds. But...

I'd be interested in how the other landlord got the opinion in their favour that they fell outside the of the MEES. I didn't know that trading standards were the ones to make decisions surrounding MEES and the EPC requirements....

Without an EPC the house falls outside of the regulations that are coming to increase the EPC level to a C and potentially beyond. But once an EPC is obtained it will come in line with those regulations and that...
