it took me a long time for me to proceed with incorporation, but Mark, Alex and Yvonne have been of great assistance throughout the process. I have a couple of friends who may be interested and if they come to...

I wonder if readers have a view on my situation? I have flats where students have given their one month's notice (Scotland) to leave. However, the 'lockdown' situation means one or two individuals remain in large flats. They will probably...

Can you divulge the name of the corporate let company? I've been approached by one. Tempting even though I know it is likely a very bad idea.

taken as a whole these figures conflict and make no sense.... '-The average rent in the UK is now £936, up by 2.0% on the same time last year -When London is excluded, the average rent in the UK is...

I've been renting per room in the region of £500-575 per month. But £600 per room is probably not far away, as you were saying with a 4 bedroom advertised at 2,400. 5 years ago I think my rooms averaged...

landlords have been left to make their business decisions on 28 days notice. student HMO businesses in particular will flounder in this environment. If student tenants are not willing to take up tenancies from 1st June then I will be...

it would certainly be very useful if student HMOs could receive the same treatment as student accommodation companies. I've no idea why they do or even should have this exemption from open-ended tenancies, ie what makes them so special? to...

real problem for student lets, as I see it, is the June and July period. with no fixed term students can no longer be forced to stay into the summer after their courses finish around the end of May. August...

you'll still get 'poker finger' in Malta Mike. the consultant being on say minimum wage wouldn't make make me feel any better about the procedure.

all sounds great Mark. but I'm intrigued to learn how you will get the deposit providers to jump into line. I take it you think they are the easiest to persuade of the interest groups you've identified?

Reply to the comment left by Dr Rosalind Beck at 17/04/2018 - 13:18'deathless'... a made-up word full of drama. meaningless. much like his article. there's plenty of people around like him. The real fault here lies with The Guardian putting...

He tells landlords to get a proper job then admits he never actually did any work when at work. bit of a drama queen, plus a confused bitter wee guy. next....

I had one flat at F. I had to get it assessed pre-Green Deal and it came back as D. Nothing had been done to the flat, just a different opinion from a different surveyor! I also had another epc...

not much of an enforcement notice if it took 9 years to be enforced..... where's The Enforcer when you need him?

that is some prediction Mark. you'd need balls of steel to put your money on Labour. current betting is: Conservatives 1/12 Labour 12/1 so, ignoring the rest of the field, Labour a 1 in 145 chance, Conservatives 144 in 145.

agree with Mark. a nice idea, but could also cause problems for the Government. A 2% tax on rent sounds an awful lot like a tax on tenants, whereas the mortgage interest relief thing is a clear attack on landlords....

Mark impressive.... I can definitely see the benefits in incorporating, but my accountant is not overflowing with enthusiasm at the prospect. Potential issues (no doubt covered in other articles by you before?) are: 'An actual tax ‘partnership’ arises where there...

don't want to jinx it but if we win, what happens then? do we get a cheque from West Brom for all our overpayments, plus legal costs, plus a little extra for loss of interest to us? problem with that...

my accountant came up with some new advice in relation to the mortgage interest tax relief. If you have no earned income, only investment income then he suggests it is possible that even the 20% tax credit may not be...
