I had numerous tenants on benefits in the period 1990 to relatively recently. My remaining property will be let to no one when the current tenants leave. Obviously no overt discrimination there. But the property has never appealed (since I...

FYI Baroness Taylor, the 2p in the £ rise will be negligible for me because I added a sufficient sum on to the rent increase I was intending to implement to compensate. Not so for the tenants. Presumably your role...

Reply to the comment left by PAUL BARTLETT at 29/07/2026 - 15:10It made me laugh when the police investigated her for possible council tax evasion on her previous housing anrrangements and brought no charges. Charges can only be brought within...

I bought a property at auction in 1990 with a sitting tenant under a protected statutory tenancy. It cost £11,000 and the rent was set at £12.50 a week. There was no stamp duty to pay. There was also NO...

I had five student HMOs operating for the best part of twenty years. The rents and occupation of the properties were based on 51 weeks, this was the general principle of the entire student HMO market in the area. (Longer...

Reply to the comment left by Ana at 19:06 Mayors and councils can only bring in controls if primary legislation is passed by government to allow them to do so. No government will just allow devolved powers to act completely...

Still scratching my head over how Rayner was able to be registered to vote at all three homes she had use of last year. I had previously tried to get a registration at my second home so I could vote...

HMRC have obviously seen examples from such as Osborne with his nonsense about the tax system being unfair to owner occupiers hence bringing in S24, and Reeves idiocy claiming equal tax rates on rent and earnings were unfair to workers...

All in all, not too dissimilar incompetence to the inspection done by City of York council on one of my HMOs when they brought in additional licensing.

I have owned a couple of trading businesses and was a portfolio landlord for many years. Polanski is simply beyond hope if, egged on by this clown show of a think tank, he can’t see the problem with the ludicrous...

The outcome of the 5% SDLT premium is obviously not first time buyers having an advantage over LANDLORDS. A bright junior school pupil could work out it is TENANTS who suffer by treating landlords buying homes for tenants in just...

Reply to the comment left by David at 13:03 Originally it was 50% discount for a second home and 25% for single occupancy. The second home discount went to 10% then 0%, now most including myself pay 100% premium. CT...

Are these MPs unaware of the minimum 100% Council tax that virtually all local authorities charge the landlord immediately the property becomes vacant? That is a considerable premium considering a single occupant gets a 25% discount (and can actually use...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Cognito at 24/06/2026 - 15:46How would that work with the huge number of two and three bed Victorian terraceds in the north that are currently worth less than £100k? On the basis that...

As far as rental property, my last remaining tenants would be paying any tax or the property would be sold. Don’t tell Andy Burnham, but I’d be breaking out the champagne as far as my second home is concerned. Worth...

Don’t these ministers love gaslighting tenants. Reality would suggest the biggest obstacle to those on benefits is frozen LHA meaning they can’t compete with workers on above inflation pay rises

Reply to the comment left by Keith Wellburn at 23/06/2026 - 12:28A heads up for any politician who wants to try aligning without relief - my response in the one remaining rental I have, it won’t be re-let when the...

Reply to the comment left by Ryan Stevens at 23/06/2026 - 12:01We’ll see. The Laffer curve comes into play and unlike income tax, IHT or VAT there is a considerable degree of choice in creating a CGT liability. Don’t forget...

Reply to the comment left by Ryan Stevens at 23/06/2026 - 10:35Whilst the headline rates may be aligned, there may be some return to indexation or a taper for length of time the asset has been held. If not then...
