Reply to the comment left by David Smith at 02/07/2024 - 10:21I hope you vote sensibly I think many on here will do the right thing on Thursday London drivers and Landlords are always bashed
Almost 30,000 signatures :) it’s getting there another 70.000 and is achievable by May 2023 Why don’t you do a crowdfund ? Many members would be happy to support a wider campaign and if we keep lobbying the NRLA perhaps...
What are we doing to demonstrate as landlords how we are being fleeced with the obscene SVR’s are dishing out for BTL’s How can lenders justify to charge over 8% The bank rate is currently 3.5% How is the justification...
Reply to the comment left by Neil Patterson at 20/12/2022 - 17:10Neil, did you get any positive feedback? I know the NRLA tried but have you heard anything at all?
Signed. There are now 11,481 signatures so its growing.. I have always supported any lobbying and wrote to the PM, Treasury and others. I can see it getting even harder this year. Are there any glimmers of hope? We could...
No letters from BM at all and can’t get through but website says rates will be reduced from 1st April Any news on Topaz ( Siberite) ? Tried to call and gave up after nearly an hour on hold. Would...
I’ve had some contact me already- One wanted a 50% reduction until he’s back in full time work and the other I’ve just negotiated 75% of the full rent. I just couldn't afford to give any of them a 3...
PGs are rather a commercial covenant and I think grossly unfair for a simple BTL mortgage product even if it’s for a company purchase . if all the lenders are now adopting this For BTL , I don’t see the...
I’ve had this issue with Lowell over tenants’s unpaid utility bills and they demanded my date of birth before they would discuss the property addresses. I refused of course. Brilliant points Fergus and thank you for sharing. Last year, i...
So who do we vote for in these strange times. As a landlord for 15 years, I've always voted conservative but who out of all the parties, supports us the best?
I feel your pain. I Just got my property back after 7 months In the courts and no rent for 12 months. Tenants still owe me 18k but have counter claimed me so I’ve only got judgment on part of...
Talk to them. MX can be very reasonable if you just ask them. I hear far less horror stories now and my own experiences have been fair over the last few years. They understand fully now how we are bashed...
How do we all work together to get our voices heard louder than the 90k members NLA and and RLA have ? Also, What is the plan so at least we get the extra 80, 000 signatures required for section...
OK nearly 4000 signatures this morning. We need 100k how are we going to get this done? Would the landlord unions help? How can we spread the word. There are at 1 million landlords out there!
I use these now and think they are very good. My tenants love them too. I want to carry on buying them and they are great at helping to remove humidity too. Perhaps it would be good idea to write...
Yes there could be lots of incentives. I'm still stuck with a few 'empties' . A Landlord's nightmare is paying the mortgage on the smashed up property, then being liable for 150% council tax for an empty home and having...
Absolutely agree with you, Mark on all points and yes, we risk losing our livelihood and could face bankruptcy- but it might be worth warning the tenants of the consequences of trying this trick whilst we watch it play out...
The other point I want to make is perhaps any SARB tenants that landlords have should be warned that attempting to force a lifetime tenancy will result in a forced possession / LPA by the lender for the grant of...
I read through the Bannister case briefly, isn't it only relevant that it was a family or friend that got the right to temain on lifetime lease ? Most Sarb agreements were /are done with the general public and all...

So are the landlord community going to formally respond to this incorrect statement? How do we let them know that they are sending out lies?
